RE: Flying for the camera!
Fly low!
The sponsor banners were not on the field at Top Gun this year so I, and several others, used the drainage ditch across the runway to our advantage. I expect that allowed photographers that were present to be able to get more shots of the top sides this year and the banners won't be disrupting the photos either. But then again, most of my flight maneuvers are done less than 10' in the air so a photographer or videographer on a 3 step stool is usually higher than the model during passes.
