I have coordinated a few photo flights. (From ATC) These were for A340, A330 and the B777. We will clear lots of room for the photo object and its' chase plane to conduct something similar to what you see with that B747.
Joe, if you come up here, ummm we may turn the other way if you want to go more than 250kts below 10,000, but only because it is you.....
I have a letter on my file from a few years back, something about coordinating an F18 low pass with a full afterburn climb to FL350 over the airport. It was a Canadian Forces aircraft, we told him the US Navy was by the week before and "held the record". He did not need much coaxing..........I thought it was a good idea at the time.....
Too bad for me and my co-workers there was a well known reporter spilling his soup at a restaurant on a 2 mile final when the F18 went by at 400kts and accelerating............ OOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPSSSSSSSSSS.
Cheers
