In my early Navy days, we did not have the cool little remote control aerial drones we have today. A photographer would go up in a helicopter with a camera to get the needed aerial shots. I had the pleasure of doing just that several times while stationed on the USS Nimitz to get shots of the battle group, ports of call, and other assorted jobs requested by command and other departments. I was able to keep many of my aerial shots like the one I am sharing with you today. I went up in one of the SH-3 Sea King helicopters for all the aerial shots I took, including this one of the Nimitz battle group, while we were deployed in the Mediterranean Sea. I am glad I had the great job of being a Navy Photographer. It was one of the best jobs you could have, and you got to do, and see a lot of things the regular sailor could never even dream of.

As I seem to recognise F-14s, A-6s, and A-7s, I'm guessing this picture was taken in the 1980s?

At the F1 GP in Austin last month, they had both a helicopter and drones with cameras to get aerial shots of the track.
