Cheyenne
FPV drone pilot in Cheyenne
We fly FPV and small cinewhoop drones in Cheyenne for rodeo and festival content, venue and corporate fly-throughs and real estate. FPV adds close, fast, continuous moves that a standard camera drone cannot get, flown by pilots who rehearse each line first. For general aerials, homes and events see our Cheyenne, WY drone videographer page.
Rodeos, festivals and corporate sites
Our crew flies EDC Las Vegas as a three-pilot drone team, with over-the-crowd drones fed into the Hulu live stream. We fly rodeo and western events, downtown festivals, government and corporate sites, construction progress and real estate across Cheyenne. Fully enclosed indoor flights are generally outside FAA airspace rules, so we fly one-take fly-throughs with the owner's approval; see indoor fly-through tours. See FPV drones for live broadcast, Indoor arena FPV drones and Concert and festival FPV drones across the US. For event coverage see Cheyenne, WY live event drones.
Cheyenne Frontier Days
In 2026 the FAA set a temporary flight restriction within 2 nautical miles of Cheyenne Frontier Days, and the FBI and Cheyenne Police enforced a strict no-drone zone during the event. Any aerial work at the rodeo has to be cleared with the FAA, law enforcement and the organizers ahead of time. Flying directly over an open crowd is only allowed when the drone and the operation meet FAA rules for flying over people, so otherwise we keep flight paths over the stage, closed areas and open lanes.
Airport, F.E. Warren and state law
Cheyenne Regional Airport has a control tower and Class D airspace next to downtown. F.E. Warren Air Force Base on the west side is a federal no-drone area, closed from the ground to 400 feet around the clock. Wyoming law prohibits flying over or near critical infrastructure, such as power, water, rail, prison and military sites, to photograph or loiter, with an exemption for operators flying under FAA authorization and rules. Wyoming State Parks currently require the department's prior written approval for drones, and rules taking effect January 1, 2027 move that approval to the park superintendent. That includes Curt Gowdy State Park between Cheyenne and Laramie. We check every Cheyenne location on the FAA sectional, B4UFLY and NOTAMs before quoting, and file LAANC or FAA authorization for any address that needs it.

FAQs
Do you need FAA approval to fly in Cheyenne?
It depends on the address. Cheyenne Regional has Class D airspace next to downtown, and F.E. Warren Air Force Base is closed to drones. We check every location on the FAA sectional and B4UFLY before quoting and file LAANC where it is needed.
Can you fly at Cheyenne Frontier Days?
Not without clearance. In 2026 an FAA flight restriction and a strict no-drone zone covered the event, so aerial work must be approved ahead.
Can you fly near F.E. Warren Air Force Base?
No. The base is a federal no-drone area from the ground to 400 feet. We plan west Cheyenne shoots well clear of it.
Can FPV footage go live to a stream or screens?
Yes. We send live FPV video to the stream, LED screens or a broadcast truck, and agree the format with your production team before the event.
What insurance do you carry?
Our standard policy is $10M liability, with optional coverage up to $25M when a venue, league or network requires it. Certificates naming your venue or production are issued before the shoot.
