About Us
My name is Dustin Sandlin, and my story began on a tree fruit farm in the Yakima Valley. With a career rooted in agriculture and sales, I gained firsthand insight into the operational challenges and financial decisions that businesses across the Pacific Northwest face every day.
Everything changed when I flew my first drone. I was immediately captivated by its potential and fascinated by how this technology could solve real-world problems. That passion for practical innovation became the foundation of Altus Air Northwest.
Today, we are a specialized aerial services partner, providing actionable data and high-quality imaging to support a wide range of industries. My background gives me a unique perspective on client needs and how to deliver tangible value.
I know that every dollar counts. My mission is to help you maximize ROI, bring efficiency to time-intensive processes, and become a trusted partner in your success. As a licensed FAA Part 107 remote pilot and fully insured professional, I ensure that every project is completed safely, reliably, and to the highest standard.
