From Mike Rupp,
owner and founder of Rupp Aerial Photography, Inc.
after completing a 300 photo job. "We received the film here from
the last flight. Thanks for turning this around so fast, even with the
holiday. My lab guys tell me that your flights are still the best that
we receive from outside sources"
From Ron
Stollmeyer, Photo Lab and Flight Operations Manager of Stewart Geo
Technologies after completing a 2000 shot job.
Congratulations are in order to all of your staff involved in
completing the project in this timeframe! We are all well aware in this
office of the weather and other challenges your crews have been up
against during these past weeks and are very impressed by your effort
and resolve. A hearty Thank you from our office to
your's!
From Linda
Tucker, a photogrammetrist with Project Design Consultants
after a small mapping job. By the way, the camera that shot our
last project is AWESOME! Everyone is very impressed. I was so off the
back, I didn't realize that you guys had 2 RC-30's. Both of them are
quite excellent.
From Bob
Williams, Senior VP of Sanborn Map Company, Inc.
This letter is
to express our thanks and appreciation for the job I.K. Curtis
Services, Inc. performed on the NAIP projects for us in South Dakota
this past summer.
You came
through with only a wee's notice and shot over half of the state of
South Dakota, more than 6000 photographs.
We initially
questioned whether a single engine airplane could handle the rigors of
the 60 days of high altitude photography -- but found your crew was
actually averaging more exposures per flight day than the other crews
with twin engine aircraft.
You crew did
an excellent job of mission planning, and displayed a great ability to
adjust to weather and other daily changes. they were excellent to work
with.
We appreciated
the integrity of your company in keeping a crew on the project to the
end, about 60 days in all. your company displayed a true team spirit.
the project would have not been completed without you support.
The bottom
line for us is that the acceptance rate was about 99.75% of the initial
exposures. Rest assured that I.K. Curtis Services will be our number
one choice for future projects iwth Sanborn. We look forward to working
with you again next summer.
