Sol's Story
Sol Aerial Surveys was founded in March 2018 with a single Cessna 320E and a vision to transform aerial platforming through safety, precision, and client trust. What started with just 18 flight hours in that first year has grown into a fleet flying thousands of hours annually. Here's how we got here.
