Burning Man '08 FlyBy

Lots of my friends and family go to BurningMan yearly. I've never been, but I do enjoy their flickr streams.

I found a link to a very high resolution satellite image of the Burning Man site [8698 x 8735]. But compared to what you could get from a flyover, the resolution is small.


Daily flyovers uploaded to a server which used a GoogleMaps API would be lovely.

Ideally, images would be sent over a cell-network connection on the UAV directly to a server, for live update. Justin.tv meets DIYdrones meets massive hippy/art gatherings.

[UPDATE] Even without cell network coverage, the system could be live with an 802.11 connection to a ground unit, networked with a Satellite Internet base station.
