THE FIELD STARTS TO THIN OUT

By Saturday afternoon, the Arlington BBQ Burnout looked a little different from above.

As teams were eliminated and the competition narrowed down, the field began to open up and the remaining teams became easier to see.

From smokers and trailers to tents, equipment and team setups, aerial imagery captures a side of the event that's easy to miss from the ground.

A few more views from today's Arlington BBQ Burnout.

Arlington BBQ Burnout FROM ABOVE 🔥

There’s nothing quite like seeing the Arlington, Tennessee BBQ Burnout from the air.

What looks like a bunch of tents, trucks and smokers from the ground turns into an entirely different picture from above.

Dozens of teams, vendors, cooking setups, parking areas and thousands of little details come together to fill Douglas Road Park for one of Arlington’s biggest annual events.

These aerial images were captured during the 30th Annual Arlington BBQ Burnout on October 2–3, 2026. The event features BBQ competition, steak competition, vendors, live entertainment and family activities.

Just another example of how aerial imagery can tell the story of an event in a way ground-level photos can't.

These aerial images were captured October 1, 2026, showing the latest progress at the future I-40 Exit 28 location.

The Gallaway location is expected to become West Tennessee's first Buc-ee's, with the current target for opening in 2027.

SOME OF A HOME’S BEST FEATURES CAN ONLY BE SEEN FROM ABOVE.

A home can have a beautiful pool, expansive backyard, outdoor living space, mature landscaping, or even a lake just steps away…

But from the ground, buyers may never really see how all of those pieces come together.

That’s where aerial photography makes a difference.

These images show the home, the outdoor spaces, the surrounding neighborhood, and its proximity to the lake in a way traditional photography simply can’t.

Real estate agents: Are you showing buyers the whole property?

Homeowners: If you’re preparing to sell, what features of your property might buyers miss from the ground?

A project like this doesn't happen without a lot of people behind the scenes:

🏗️ Architectural Design: 4FDesign
🏢 Property Management: YMCA of Memphis & the Mid-South
🔨 Construction: Moss Carpenter Construction Co.

We're excited to be able to document the progress and watch this project take shape from the air.

🚨 NOT ALL DRONE OPERATORS ARE CREATED EQUAL.

If you’re hiring a drone operator to photograph or video a property, compliance matters.

The FAA recently proposed a $289,215 civil penalty against Gorge Drones for alleged unauthorized drone operations. According to the FAA, the alleged violations included operating an agricultural drone without the required agricultural aircraft operator certificate, operating an unregistered drone, and operating without an airworthiness certificate. The alleged violations occurred in March and April 2025.

That should be a reminder to anyone hiring a drone operator:

The person flying over your property is responsible for knowing and following the rules.

For commercial property imagery, a professional drone operator should understand requirements such as:

✅ FAA Part 107 certification
✅ Proper drone registration
✅ Airspace authorization when required
✅ Operational limitations and restrictions
✅ Remote ID requirements when applicable
✅ Safe and responsible flight operations
✅ Current FAA regulations and restrictions

And there is a bigger reason this matters than simply checking a box.

You are putting a professional aircraft operation over your property, your clients, your employees, and the public.

At BCOW Property Imagery, we believe aerial photography should be more than getting a drone in the air and pressing record.

It should be safe, legal, professional, and intentional.

📸🏡 Whether you need aerial imagery for a listing, property marketing, construction documentation, commercial property, or another project, ask your drone operator about their qualifications and compliance before they take off.

Cheap isn’t always cheap when the operator doesn’t know the rules.

Fly safe. Fly legal. Hire professionals.
