Prove the past.
Measure the present.

We fly Oklahoma from our own aircraft, and we hold aerial frames of all 77 counties, the oldest from the 1930s. What you get is an answer about a piece of ground, measured in feet and printed to scale, with the source and the date on every frame.

What we do

A 1954 aerial frame of downtown Oklahoma City

The archive

Historical Decade Package

A frame from every year the record holds for one place, cut to the same footprint at the same scale so they flip and overlay. What was there, and when, with the source and date on every frame.

Who is behind it

Second generation.
Our own aircraft. Our own archive.

Aerial Oklahoma has flown Oklahoma since 1983 and is in its second generation. We fly a Cessna 177 with a 150-megapixel Phase One camera, process every job in-house, and hold georeferenced frames of all 77 counties on our own disks. Our exhibits are built to be checked, and our principal has been qualified as an expert witness in Oklahoma district courts to stand behind them. Every job is delivered as a link that opens in a browser, so the people you send it to need nothing installed.

What a standing engagement looks like

Infrastructure, thirty flights,
ten years

Both jobs are open here as they were delivered. What the viewer does, and the other demos, are on the viewer page →

view.aerialok.com · Infrastructure: a lake dam rebuilt · 2021 beside 2026
30 FLIGHTS OVER TEN YEARS · 47 IN ELEVEN MONTHS · 2 IN FOUR DAYS

Infrastructure is rebuilt over years, and the record has to run as long. This lake dam took a decade and we flew it thirty times, 2016 to 2026, on the same lines each time, so any two dates sit side by side and what changed between them can be measured. The tank farm at Cushing is the same idea at a different tempo, forty-seven flights in eleven months, close enough together to watch the floating roofs rise and fall. And the stadium in Norman, mapped on a Tuesday and again on the Saturday, four days apart, empty on one side of the divider and full on the other.

Historical imagery · one quarter section

The same quarter section.
1941 to 2023.

The northwest quarter of Section 15, Township 12 North, Range 3 West, Oklahoma County: farm fields on section-line roads in 1941, a freeway interchange and industrial blocks in 2023, and twenty-one frames between them. Every frame is cut to the same footprint at the same scale, with the quarter, section, township, range, county and date on the sheet and a scale bar in feet. That is what a Historical Decade Package is. Oklahoma County's own record starts in 1941; the oldest frames in the archive are from the 1930s.

1941: the quarter section as farm fields on section-line roads, a creek with its tree line, a scatter of farmsteads 1951: the first long industrial buildings along the west edge, the north half still fields 1957: a highway cut across the northeast corner and lots filling inside the grid 1969: the freeway interchange built at the northwest corner and warehouse blocks filling the west half 1984: warehouses and yards on nearly every block west of the creek, the east side still wooded 1995: more paving and larger footprints on the same grid 2007: the first color frame, apartment complexes across the north and red dirt where the next ones are graded 2015: the apartments finished and the industrial grid full 2023: warehouses, the interchange, and the creek's tree line still where it was in 1941
