Have I told you that my math staff is pretty great? Halloween celebrated at our school and they decided to dress like the animals I search for! So funny!

Ever wonder why we are called SmithicAir? Silly name right? This dates back to when gmail was just starting and I needed a gmail address. Even though I was an early gmail user, all the Smiths were gone. I needed to add something to it. Well, I had just graduated from an excellent, small, private college in Jacksonville Illinois called Illinois College or IC for short. (It is a great school. You should check them out!) I started using smithic for everything and that is the story behind our silly name. Thank you again!

It is our opinion that the thermal drone is an awesome tool but it is not right in every situation. So happy Archie is home!

Home at Last! ARCHIE, the Pit Bull/Labrador Retriever missing from IL, is home safe and sound! Missing 2025-09-21 Reunited 2025-09-24. Welcome home Archie!

From the owner:

Lost Dogs Illinois and their volunteers were helpful!

Additionally, 'Mike Smith (drone service) was honest, knowledgeable, and communicative. He asked me about the circumstances and then advised I do not hire him to fly the drone. I trusted him immediately because he was honest with me and not just trying to take my money. He also gave me a ton of hope when I was starting to lose it. Rosanne was so thoughtful and gave me all the information I needed to be successful. Together, they saved the day!
Anything to share with others? Find the people you trust (Mike and Rosanne) and drown out all the other noise. So many people offer their advice and gets overwhelming. Mike and Rosanne explained everything in a way that makes sense and helps you understand the reasoning behind it.'

Suzette and Shannon also spoke to and helped the family.

Archie was successfully lured!

Short version of Cattle Search

As you may have heard, the Rustic Road Farm cows decided to tour parts of Elburn after escaping and exploring Maple Park in July. This time they stuck together a little better. Yay, the buddy system! SmithicAir did the locating with some help from some sightings. 2B Wild Cattle Catching Services did the tough task of getting them back where they belong.
