Meet Alex Vanover, the trailblazing American professional drone racing pilot hailing from the great state of Texas. At a mere 17 years old, he showcased his prodigious talent by securing the MultiGP National Championship in Reno, Nevada, marking the beginning of a stellar career.
A remarkable streak of victories and top-tier finishes paved the way for Alex to earn a coveted contract with the prestigious DHL DR1 Champions Series. Taking on Europe’s challenging tracks, he left an indelible mark on the world of drone racing by capturing the Pro Class World title in Croatia and leading his FlightOne team to a resounding World Championship triumph at the iconic DHL Tower in Bonn, Germany.
In a testament to his international appeal, Alex received a special invitation in 2018 to race for the esteemed Korean Drone Racing Association. Embracing the opportunity to represent the United States on foreign soil, he immersed himself in the heart of Seoul, Korea, dedicating three months to training and racing alongside Asia’s fastest pilots. The culmination of his efforts came at the X-Fly World Team Championship in Shenzhen, China, where his contributions played a pivotal role in securing victory for Team Korea. The FAI Gwacheon World Cup also bore witness to Alex’s exceptional speed and skill, solidifying his position as the fastest pilot and bringing his 2018 Asian tour to a triumphant close.
In 2019, Alex reached new heights by signing with the illustrious Drone Racing League (DRL), a league that enjoys widespread broadcasting on NBC, NBC Sports, and Twitter. Surprising the seasoned veterans, Alex’s rookie debut was nothing short of awe-inspiring as he dominated the leaderboard, amassing points throughout the season, and ultimately earning the prestigious World Championship title. This history-making feat firmly established him as the first rookie in DRL’s history to achieve such a remarkable accomplishment.
Beyond the world of drone racing, Alex’s passion for aviation has been a lifelong affair. His aviation journey began with a flying lesson at the tender age of 10, which laid the foundation for his expertise in gliders and acrobatic tail wheel airplanes. Today, he proudly holds a private pilot’s license and owns two small planes, reflecting his unyielding commitment to the skies.
While his racing aspirations continue to soar, Alex is also making significant strides in the film industry. Working on major Hollywood movies and commercials, he unleashes his creative vision, utilizing drones to capture breathtaking camera angles that were once considered impossible. Moreover, Alex has directed his talents toward storm chasing, employing drone technology to study supercell thunderstorms with the goal of improving tornado warning times and keeping communities safer.
It’s worth mentioning (though he’ll humbly shrug it off), that Alex’s globetrotting achievements extend beyond the racetracks and into the skies, as he proudly claims the title of a million-miler before the age of 22—a truly remarkable accomplishment any frequent flyer can attest to.
As Alex continues to push the boundaries of drone racing and filmmaking, we can only imagine the incredible heights he’ll reach next. With a passion for aviation coursing through his veins and an unwavering determination to excel, there’s no doubt that Alex Vanover is a name destined to etch itself into the annals of drone racing history.
