Photo Science has a Georgia office and I know keep  a couple of aircraft there. I met one of the guys out of a St. Pete office at an  industry convention. They do aerial mapping.

  

 Aerial Cartographics is on the east coast, if I  remember right. I'll get some names and numbers in a jiffy.....

  

 Course neither one uses Commanders. I think Air  Photographics is still using them out of West Virginny. Dave Owen might have  some more info.

 Aerial Cartographics out of Orlando. I think my  Dad's buddy has long since retired from there. Chuck Woodward out of LKB on Long  Island. They used to run Commanders doing all sorts of odd jobs.

 Photo Science has an office right in St. Pete.  (Wish I was in the harbor on a sailboat there right now.) That might help  facilitate the ground portion of the survey. (Not that the other guys couldn't  do just as god a job.)

Doesn't hurt to tell either one Col-East sent him...... It's a small  industry.

Steve has suggested two excellent companies!   (by the way, no comment on adding the cats to the exhaust stacks on Commanders,  eh?  I thought it was pretty funny... hehehe)...

David, I'm keeping a low profile (at least for a  couple days anyway!). I used to have a lot of fun with a buddy from Texas when I  worked in Seattle. He was a hardcore redneck son of a bitch, and we'd listen to  Limbaugh in the early nineties and argue like cats and dogs. I miss him. (Oh for  the good old days when the rednecks hated the federal government, and the  liberals were trying to make it bigger.) Maybe we can get your bird to run on  tofu?

  

 Photo Science has a good rep around here. I thought  to mention you guys, but that's a long cross country haul just to get the  imagery. You guys aren't doing any of the actual mapping?

Yes, Joe Horn for President, no, tofu is out with  the slimline nacells, and we go anywhere if the $ is right... (Short of some out  of country locales)  However, it depends on the project if we do the  mapping... Pipe and power and roads are our mainstay anymore. Used to be  counties, and states... Havent done many of those since the gov got involved  doing the work for almost nil, and producing the work in a year or two, if then.  Some of the clients have come back, but some of them like getting allot of bang  for the buck, even if the information is somewhat to very dated. I guess it's  all in what you really need. hehehe... A "redneck" eh? I am from the east side  of Houston, and Pasadena... it was a mixed bag back then, but now I live in the  middle of nowhere, and there is not much of a mix there at all... Not many  ghetto boys if you know what I mean. Times have really changed...

We're seeing a lot of work going overseas. I  seriously wonder if we'll ever see a town or county-wide job again. Most of the  compilation work is going to India, and much larger multi-national companies are  usually doing their flying. Even local ground surveyors are getting cut out of  the loop. Most of our stuff is 20-1000 acre sites. Huge pressures to send work  offshore. We don't want to. But almost everyone you are competing with  does.

  

 I thought it was the tofu that kept those nacelles  slim?

Steve,

 No Sir, pure American lean beef 100LL for our  machine... hehe... Actually, been getting feedback about the India issue, and  quite a few of the guys that went outside for a price break have come home to  roost. Many people arent concerned with having a patchwork quilt for a final  product... BUT we produce a very nice product, and looks are important to  some, not just accuracy. One thing that cuts the cost over there is image  replacement, or whatever they call it. If its not the main interest area, they  use "generic" areas to fill in some blanks. I dont see how they do it, but I  have been offered several prices on a similar project, and that was one thing  they offered. I wouldn't even think about doing that, but obviously some do...  Did you know that?

Nico,

  

 David was just pulling my leg about sticking  catalytic convertors on his 500A, after I goofed with him about the right using  'science' to deny global warming. He's got a sense of humor anyway.

  

 Truth be told, after the first Nor'easter and  chipping ice off the plow truck, shoveling out the hanger doors, and freezing  your ass off filling the damned aircraft with gas; nobody up here cares if the  planet heats up and turns Texas into a dry hot wasteland. We'll be fine, and  Texas will stay the same.....
