We had to map a road just off the end of the runway at Love field in Dallas. Love is fairly easy to work with. Last year we had to map part of DFW. I thought our pilot was going to cry when we showed him the flight path. Fortunately the final customer was the FAA and they shook the tree from the top down. We still had to make two deployments to shoot it because they would not let up finish a flight line. We fly the FAA campus every other year. We have flown many military bases for the base planners.
