About

My name is Tim Allix.  I have had a lifelong fascination with aviation; my father was a world war two pilot, and he earned his pilot’s license again in the early 70’s.  I spent many a happy hour flying around with my Dad in various Pipers and Cessnas.  In 1999 I earned my own Glider Pilot’s License, and spent many hours flying the thermals and soaring the ridges around Pemberton, BC in a Blanick L-23 glider.  I have also always loved flying RC model aircraft, and now I am able to take my experience and flying skills, combined with my interests in computers and photography to make a rewarding career for myself.

My first time hiring a drone pilot for photos of a large property I was listing…and I was not disappointed! It was a real blast! He made sure all my requests were granted, and then some. He was patient and very informative with all my questions and had the knowledge and experience to find the best angles to show off the property at its best. Tim is a very professional and detailed pilot that I would recommend to anyone!”
