Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission
This mission was to gather video showing the current state of development with respect to the agricultural heritage and the environment in the area between the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. We used the AE gyro-stabilized platform pointing out the right rear door of the chopper. The material will be used by the Commission to educate people in the area about the region's rich agricultural history so they will (in the face of expanding development) continue to support their local farmers and keep farms in business. On the day-long mission they were able to get spectacular, sweeping views of the farms, rivers, towns, and other communities that make up the region.
