Narrative:
Drone in vicinity of airport: we were at 400 feet AGL off of runway 26 in hvr and began reducing the power for normal climb and began our turn toward the southeast. Upon entering the turn; I spotted what was clearly a personal drone (dji phantom) off our left wing at 150 feet away and 50 feet lower than our altitude. I alerted the captain about the drone; he made the same assessment about the drone sighting upon seeing it. We then got on the CTAF to let other potential traffic in the area about the drone approximately 1 mile west of the field. Hvr unicom asked for more details; we gave them the above statement. Upon reaching a higher altitude; we checked in with salt lake center; asked for VFR flight following and gave them the report of the drone sighting.
