Your Eye In The Sky Over West Texas and Southern New Mexico
Southwest Skywatch News’ mission is to deliver a different point of view for things that matter in our region and beyond. Whether it’s helping you understand news better, helping track important construction projects in our communities, or just helping you find something fun to do this weekend, we’re on it.
Full transparency: we make our money selling photos (print or downloads) to our readers, other local and national media, and to businesses for their marketing needs. We also offer advertising in the form of aerial tours of interesting businesses, and receive monetary tips from our audience.
We are dedicated to keeping a minimal environmental impact. For most trips, we use an electric vehicle to travel to the places where we fly. We then use battery-powered UAS to get our photographs. On longer overnight trips, we use an all-electric travel trailer that’s mostly powered by solar panels.
