Narrative:
This pertains to a small uav flight near [the] state university. We took all usual protocols & procedures to check airspace and confirm we are clear to safely fly. For this particular flight; we checked to confirm we were outside of the class C airspace of ZZZ airport and checked for tfr's in the area - all came back clear. However; we may have flown in or near the class C airspace during this brief flight and it was discovered after flight was over. Moving forward; we will use https://skyvector.com/ and https://uas-faa.opendata.arcgis.com/ to check instead of B4UFly app.
