My dad's old flight instructor and his wife had a business with aerial photography. They bought a surplus camera from the military and modified a Cessna to hold it. Husband flew, wife took the pix in the freezing back. They took a picture of Mammoth Mountain that used to hang at my parents house. This pic was huge!
