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. ------------------------------------------------- Wed, 31 Mar 93 16:18:14 PST [log in to unmask] (franklin j) 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.

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?

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 . .

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.
