If we got a call for us to shoot just a square mile of some property it was our minimum charge of $600. And that was just the image. If they wanted prints, it was more.
We flew all 709 square miles of Oklahoma County every couple of years for the county. They would use those images to look into all the county areas, and look for new pools, or a storage shed, and the tax man said bingo, more property taxes!
Now they just use Google Earth or Bing Earth to see it all for free. It is hard to compete with free.
