RE: Buying US air photos?
Inquire at you county planning office. Most have aerial photos and can supply
the name of private companies who specialize in specific regions and states.
Most government agencies contract with and/or purchase these (usually fairly
small) flying outfits that specialize in aerial photography.

Re: Buying US air photos?
I don't think there is any government agency that has what you
want. The country has been covered by ariel photography but it is high
altitude coverage. You could get the Yellow Pages for that region and contact
a commercial outfit in the region. They will sometimes sell copies of photos
from previous flights at a substantial reduction compared to contracting
a flight.

Re: Buying US air photos?
There is a US government agency(?) in South(?) Dakota(?) that sells
aeriel photos very economically. Something like $7 for b/w. Maybe
someone else can fill in the details on who this is. If not, you
might try NOAA?

Re: Buying US air photos?
Glenn-
Probably the first place to start is with the Virginia State Government . . .
Look in two places, first with the Highway Department, or with a Department
of Natural Resources . . . with either one, you should ask for a mapping
department, a geography department, or the people who deal with GIS and
aerial mapping . . . usually, start with the general phone# for the agency
and then ask questions . . . sooner or later someone will know how to help
you . .
Good Luck

Re: Buying US air photos?
Hi,
You should check into the May 1992 issue of PHOTOGRAMMETRIC ENGINEERING
& REMOTE SENSING, which lists a number of aerial photography firms. There
is a geographic index in the back, so you could find those in VA. If you
want to give me a call, or write here, I can refer you to one or two if
that's all you need. As for expense, you'd have to check with the individual
companies. The directory issue of PE&RS is published annually, and the new
one will be out in May of this year. It goes for $25 to non-members and
extra copies are $15 to members of the American Society for PHotogrammetry
and Remote Sensing.
