MegaFlyover
The MegaFlyover project was a seven-month aerial survey from June 2004 to January 2005 by explorer/ecologist J. Michael Fay and pilot Peter Ragg sponsored by the National Geographic Society and others. They criss-crossed Africa from South Africa to Morocco in a modified Cessna 182, logging 60,000 miles and taking more than 100,000 high-resolution digital GPS-marked images shot from low altitude.
It was partly inspired by Mike's earlier MegaTransect expedition in 1999.
Five hundred of these images have been added to Google Earth's database.
