The sun is up, and the temps are rising!

I was digging around on one of the government aerial photography sites. The entire country is photographed on a rotating basis. State by state. Oklahoma was flown again in 2021. Both natural color, and color infrared. We don't have many customers that want CIR, so I just ignore it. I am downloading the entire state county by county. All 77 counties. It will be about 90 gig of data when all done. We have a few clients that want to see what is on a piece of property, but they are too cheap to pay for us to do a new flight. They want a file or sometimes a print that have certain GPS points shown and to a certain scale. I can show them that with free government images for not much money. It is not real high resolution, just a two foot pixel. We normally provide a 3 or 6 inch pixel.

Back in 2003 the company I worked for paid $125 per county for the same basic imagery. So instead of $9,625 and 77 CDs to store I just download it to my RIAD. I download the 2003, and several other years of imagery in the past. I prefer the free price and not the nearly 10 grand price.

I can download any county in any state.
