The World From An RC Airplane

This web page is the culmination of the "A Day In The Life of AP - 1/1/2005" project. It was conceived and performed by members from around the world of the aerial photography forum on rcgroups.com. Each entrant for this project agreed to post a photograph taken on January 1, 2005 using their radio controlled aerial photography aircraft. Along with the photo was posted pertinent information such as location, weather, aircraft, camera and in most cases a description of the event. When the situation did not allow for an aerial photo, such as bad weather, a ground photo was allowed.

Each photo is located on the map above and the related maps by a red dot. For ground photos the red dot has a green dot inside it. Clicking on the red dot takes you to the entrants picture and info. Clicking on the picture returns you to the previous page. You can go from one map to another by clicking on the alternate map names. In the cases where the red dots would overlap if placed correctly they are clustered around the area where they were taken.

More information about this project can be found at www.rcgroups.com in the aerial photography discussion group. The current threads for this project are: A Day In The Life of AP and 1-1-05 Day in the Life of AP

All photos seen here are copyright by the individual entrants and can not be used without their consent. Each entrant can be contacted through the rcgroups web site using the entrants id name.

Thanks to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency for creating the maps used for South America, Europe, and Australia.
Thanks to the University of Texas for provide the aforementioned public domain maps at the Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection.
