United States Army Coordination
White Sands Missile Range

The Full Story

Not only do county and federal-level government agencies request aerial data, but so does the military.  The Department of Defense contracts out many aerial survey missions to civilian imaging vendors.  Air America Flight Center is requested by such vendors on an almost yearly basis to collect aerial imagery of sensitive sites, such as the White Sands Missile Range shown above.  The Department of the Army has consistantly allowed Air America Flight Center aircraft fly these sensitive missions.  Air America Flight Center has great flexiblity and the understanding of such sensitive military sites, which is a major reason why these missions are approved for data acquisition by the Department of Defense.
