I assume you're looking for color?You could try Terraserver, which has color aerials of some urban areas.Other thing you can do is try searching by state and add "DOQ" or "DOQQ" to the search. Some states have good color aerials online.I've got a large collection of color aerials for much of California.If you're looking for images of the area you live in you can check the local city or county government. They will usually have some.Matt

Thanks for the reply Matt. When you say "searching the State and add DOQ..." do you mean in Terraserver?Would you mind sharing colour aerials of KBUR and KSNA for scenery development?ThanksShez

I meant like try searching for "California DOQ" or "Arizona DOQ" or DOQQ. Not many states have color DOQs online though. Maybe two or three.Just send me an email and I'll send you what I have for BUR and [email protected]
