Morning Star Photography
 
Anyone fly for them? They state they don't have a hour minimum and you should have a commercial. Nothing else is given. Like pay, time off from May-October, aircraft they fly, etc...

Also Barnstormers Aerial Advertising? Just states you could fly 500-1000 hours a summer.

I did it last year and will be again this coming summer. Aerial photography is not for everyone but it’s a great time building gig and company is great. Any questions you can message me.

Aerial Photography/Survey or CFI to build hours? Or is it just personal preference?

For those that went the photo/survey route, thoughts on a resume without CFI CFII ratings/time for a regional?

Thanks in advance!

Company is located out of Watertown, SD, but you can be located anywhere from Wisconsin to Montana to New Mexico. Pay is based on how many pics you take an hour. Starting with $1 a pic, usually can do 15 to start and if you get good can end up around 30. They have citabrias, 172, 152s all high wing stuff. If its sunny then you're flying everyday pretty much from 9-5 or so.

Just got an email from them that they're still looking at what's going to be needed (contracts:pilots ratio) for the coming season. Don't know about anyone else but I've got a good feeling getting this response before they even start hiring :D

Hmm, interesting. Just sent a quick message as well via their contact form. Not much info out there, just some older threads on here.

Do you know the company name and if they’re still hiring?
