Our Story

Innovation Born from Purpose

Eye In The Sky was invented after a personal tragedy—the loss of founder Louisa Patterson's only child, James, in a helicopter crash. The accident report stated a cockpit recorder could have helped determine the cause.

Today, Eye In The Sky helps prevent similar tragedies by providing critical flight data that improves safety, enhances training, and saves lives. All proceeds go to the James PG Foundation, supporting youth to reach their full potential.
