Today’s aerial photo assignment was the GM Truck Manufacturing Plant in Fort Wayne Indiana.   The new 2014 Chevy truck is rolling onto showroom floors and Chevy wants to celebrate.    About 50 trucks were parked to form the Chevy logo which they refer to as the “Chevy Bow-Tie.”   I was asked to get photos of the Bow-Tie by itself and also to get photos of the entire facility that includes the Bow-Tie.

This facility is enormous and may be the largest building I’ll ever take photos of.    We arrived in the helicopter on-site just before 9:00 am (with sunrise at 7:11 this time of year).  Morning light is great but a little moisture in the air and glare makes shooting towards the sun an impossibility.    I did however manage to get some  some good photos from the south-south-west (see above photo), but most shots were taken from the south, north or east.    Many of the pictures needed help in post production to reduce haze and bring back detail that was lost in the bright eastern sky.  Other photos can be viewed HERE.
