Capturing Moore from Above
Aerial imagery showcases Moore's unique landscape and development:
Moore is a fast-growing Oklahoma City suburb in Cleveland County, positioned between OKC and Norman. The city rebuilt significantly after the 2013 and 2015 tornadoes, creating a sustained construction boom. The I-35 commercial corridor and residential development in south Moore are the primary growth drivers. Moore sits in a complex airspace environment with the OKC Class C, Wiley Post Class D, and OUN Class D all potentially applying depending on location.
From the post-tornado reconstruction that reshaped the city to the I-35 commercial corridor retail development and the residential growth spreading south toward Norman, Moore's construction market reflects resilience and continuous expansion in the heart of Oklahoma City's southern suburbs.
Oklahoma drone regulations require FAA Part 107 certification for all commercial drone operations. Our network of verified operators in Moore meets all federal and state requirements.
