Field Trip

Yesterday, we took a work field trip to see one of the Woolpert survey planes. The Centennial airport is super close to the office, and the plane happened to be there, so a bunch of us went to check it out.

Here is the plane, front and side views. It is a Cesna (insert number here). My dad and/or brother would know the exact number. I asked, but can't remember. I was more intrigued by other things...

...like going IN the plane.

On the top, I am posing by the "brains" of the camera that takes the aerial imagery. (ADS 40, for those of you photogrammetry nerds out there.) On the left is me, and Leo the pilot up front.

The airplane controls...

And the camera. There are literally holes cut under the belly of the plane for the camera viewer and LIDAR.

All the Woolpies waiting to look inside the plane. What a fun afternoon!
