Projects

On this page we keep you updated on all of our upcoming plans. Check it regularly, as we update the info on each of the projects presented as soon as we get it. Along with the newsletters, this is the best way to always have the latest news on our PhotoFlying adventures.

 

Do note that the Aviation PhotoCrew does NOT offer passenger flights or pleasure rides. The only persons qualified to fly onboard our photoships are other aviation photographers.

They are allowed to fly with us under the EASA regulation ‘part SPO’ PAS OM-A 8.3.1.5.5 Task Specialist for Aerial Photography.
In UK airspace we fly under UK Air Ops Regulation.

You will receive multiple mandatory briefings and a specific tasking for the photoflight. You have to strictly comply with the responsabilities as described for the task specialist in the preparation briefings. It is important that you act and behave like a responsible crewmember on any photoflight!

In addition, you will have to follow strictly the guidelines of the ‘flight operations manual’ from the photoship. No matter how much experience you have, these guidelines will be explained before every single photomission again, and it is mandatory to attend this briefing.

It is equally important that you confirm by email that you have received the detailed task specialist briefings ( part 1 and part 2 ) and that you understand the content. You will receive additional training/recurrent training if any of the guidelines and information is not fully understood.

 

Due to the changed world stage, and the fact that we get more and more opportunities to fly with sensitive and fifth generation jetfighters, there will be specific requirements in place when we fly projects where we expect those military corporations:

  • You will have to be a photographer from a NATO country, NORAD country, EU countries or allied nations. If you have any doubt, just check with us in advance as many projects have different requirements.
  • For every project you like to fly with us, we kindly ask a copy of your passport ( the photo page ) as we will fly often from military bases etc like we already did in the 2023 season.

The reward of our efforts and many approval processes we go through is that we will be able to fly with more 5th gen military than ever before…and beyond!! ( find the project )

 

How to secure a seat for a 2025 project?

You can book right now. If you are already on a list of interested aviation photographers, PLEASE MENTION it!! Some of you have a bit of priority due to a cancelled project or flying credit you have. If the seat is available, I will send you the deposit invoice for 50% of the project price. You will have two weeks for payment ( in order to give every photographer a fair chance ), once the deposit is paid your seat is 100% confirmed!! You can book as many projects as you like.

For projects that are still marked as ‘TBC’ or do not have a solid date yet, I will not send an invoice but you will be added to the list of interested aviation photographers and I will provide you the number. No obligations at all until we get a green light, at that moment I contact aviation photographers back in running order.

Long term 2026– 2030

You can have your name on the list of ‘interested aviation photographers’ for any project in the future. It does not cost anything, and there are no obligations to it at all! It is only after a project is confirmed we start contacting aviation photographers back in running order. The deposit invoice of 50% to be paid to confirm your seat is always send out the year before. So for example you can perfectly have your name on the list of RIAT 2028 ( as some of you do… ). We contact aviation photographers on the list around October 2027, and if they take the seat the invoice will go out. It is that simple and it goes for ALL projects we fly.

You have to send us a SEPARATE email for EVERY project that has your interest, as every email is a little piece of the giant puzzle. You can always give it a try, keep in mind that even if you are at #24 on the list you still can have the luck to secure a seat in that project, as the further into the future the more aviation photographers will not pick up a seat for real.
