We like to feature a variety of examples of the types of pilots in our network, from part-time Pilots like [PJ Cook](https://blog.dronebase.com/2017/07/14/pilot-spotlight-pj-cook/) to full-time Pilots like [Brian Deatherage](https://blog.dronebase.com/2017/05/15/pilot-spotlight-brian-d/). Today, we're excited to feature Kenneth Ewald, a DroneBase Pilot who is using his retirement to fly the skies of San Antonio, Texas, whenever he can!

The more challenging the better. DroneBase provides that better than any similar service."
