| Placing an aircraft in a precise point in space requires a considerable degree of skill and attention by the pilot. Operating a sophisticated aerial camera also requires constant adjustment and readjustment. To try to do both is foolish at best and catastrophic at worst. Eye in the Sky uses FAA certified pilots to fly the plane while we operate the camera. Ongoing headset communication between pilot and photographer assures the highest possible quality of images and a safe flight.
We are often asked “What airport do you fly out of”? The answer, "All of them"! We have taken off from Lambert, Spirit, Creve Couer, Weiss, St. Charles, St. Clair, Sullivan, Festus, Parks, Bethalto, Booneville, Washington, Cape Girardeau and Springfield. The airport used is based on the client’s needs, location of the site and aircraft availability.
Eye in the Sky has used a wide variety of aircraft over the years but the machine of choice is the Robinson R-22. This nimble but powerful rotor wing gets us to the site quickly and is highly maneuverable in a variety of atmospheric conditions.
The Bell 47 was the airborne workhorse of the Korean conflict and remains an excellent photographic platform today. Although less aerodynamic than its modern day cousins it is far more stable in flight and its “big bubble” offers added roominess for extra cameras and lenses.
Available in almost every airport in the region, the Cessna 172 is a superb machine for high level aerial photography. Its ability to climb quickly and navigate great distances economically makes it Eye in the Sky’s fixed wing of choice when images from high altitude or of remote sites are requested.
