This looked intriguing if anyone here is interested. It is posted in the Seattle craigslist, but I don't think you need to be local...

| Well, I know what large format film photography is. And I know what a medium format dslr is, and now I know what a large format digital scanning back is... but I still can't figure out what or if a large format dslr is. |

| Hope they have a gyroscope for the camera to keep it steady. Anyone ever try taking pictures in a helicopter? A helicopter shakes, in a big way. 6 or 7 hours a day would drive me nuts. I would do this for 3K per week, nothing less. |

That was my thought exactly.
My brother is both a pilot (hobby) and aerial photographer (profession). Not at the same time, of course. He gets to travel a lot but doesn't often sightsee, is away from home a lot, and works very long hours when the weather is good. (EDIT: Not my photos).
