It was never much of an airport. What would be cool is if Edmond still had the airport that is now covered with apartment, condos, and shopping centers. It was on the land that Jason's Deli and the apartments south of there are on now.

The old business I worked at had THE absolute "state of the art" film camera. It cost the company $490,000, weighed just under 500 lbs with the fancy gyro mount that was 80 grand more. It was the third to the last one ever made, and would cost us 20 grand to have it cleaned and calibrated every three years. We had a photogrammetric scanner that cost 80 grand, just to scan the 9x9 inch frame of film. That camer required a dedicated 206 with a 20 inch hole cut in the floor to carry it.

Out digital camera that my partner and I wrote checks to buy just beat the pants off it for image quality for the State Fair flight. This may be the best looking fair imagery ever. It is sharper and lots better color and detail and overall quality. And the image will be done withing 24 hours of the flight. With film it was 4 days at best.

I am loving this camera. Of course we have been using it for several years. Film is dead. RIP.
