Aerial data and intelligence.
Same discipline, new platform.
My aviation background is Navy surveillance and reconnaissance — flying missions to collect aerial data and intelligence. CT Aero does that same work now for Florida's engineering, construction, and infrastructure clients.
Wes Henderson.
My Navy aviation career was spent flying surveillance and reconnaissance missions — the mission was collecting aerial data and intelligence. Thermal, radar, and electro-optical sensors integrated across dynamic operational environments. Every flight briefed, executed, and debriefed to a standard.
CT Aero does that same work now — collecting aerial data and intelligence for Florida's engineering firms, contractors, developers, and property managers. The mission didn't change. The platform did.
When you hire CT Aero, you're getting a pilot whose entire career has been about one thing: getting the sensor to the right place, at the right altitude, in the right conditions, and coming back with data that holds up.
Most drone operators bought their first drone in the last year or two. That's a different starting point. CT Aero starts from a Navy aviation background — the discipline, the checklist culture, the standard for what qualifies as usable aerial data.
For owners and managers staking real money on the condition of their assets, that difference isn't a marketing claim — it shows up in every report delivered.
Every flight begins with a documented mission brief — scope, airspace, weather, risk, contingencies.
Attention to detail. Checklists, standards, and procedures applied to every flight. No shortcuts.
Findings documented, anomalies prioritized, defensible reports delivered within 48 hours.
