One of the most talked-about exhibits this week at NBAA-BACE is the display from partner companies XBrand and 3 Delta Fox, which are showing three high-tech aerial camera ships. The companies specialize in aerial photography for the TV and movie industries, and for corporate work.

The best-known project undertaken so far is the filming of the "Top Gun: Maverick" movie, and indeed the company was originally formed when discussions of that movie began.
