The Skybridge Foundation: Innovate. Educate. Fly.

Drones have soared to the forefront of innovation, transforming industries across the board. They represent a treasure trove of untapped potential, poised to revolutionize the world as we know it.

Our Story

My name is David Roush and I went from flying a Citation jet to flying drones because I believe the drone industry is the future of aviation, from flying taxis to inspections.

That belief was confirmed through the largest commercial drone operation in history in Northern California which demonstrated the utility of drones for good.

Now drones are popping up on social media and the news everyday from the middle east to Ukraine, drones are demonstrating immense capability, and we want that capability put to good use.

If you're a drone pilot, or part of a company interested in a sustainable drone industry it's time to have your voice heard!

The federal ban on Chinese drones is being voted on, and that directly affects your livelihood!

The remote ID is coming in March and that directly affects your safety in the field!

Politicians are writing laws that directly affect you!

If we are going to have a commercial drone industry that isn't monopolized by a few big companies or the government we need to all work together to build it!

We are building the Skybridge foundation to create a sustainable drone industry for pilots, enthusiasts, and our communities, and we need your voice!

Our Mission

We exist to stabilize the infrastructure of the drone industry through standardized training from the most experienced drone professionals in the country. We believe building the infrastructure of this industry requires establishing “The Five UAS Industry Pillars”

Education: Communities, pilots, government officials all need to be educated on the value of drones.

Research: Companies and individuals need to research new ways of implementing drones into their workflows.

Services: Projects need to be performed in a professional manner by well educated stakeholders.

Regulation: We all need to speak up and drive this industry in a sustainable direction.

Manufacturing: We need more drone manufacturing in the U.S. to give pilots and companies access to new and better tools.
