Aircraft ID no pics
Hey Y'all,Need a link if you can provide it, lost the one I had. Plane description. White in color, was used at the time 1998, to provide aerial shots of a Redskins game at FedEx Field. Prop driven, but very quiet. Had a rather long wingspan. Looked very stable which would make it perfect for what it was being used for. Any ideas?Oz

It seems highly unlikely given the rarity of the type but the only thing that comes immediately to mind is the Lockheed YO-3a Quiet Star. NASA operated one (predominately white in color) up until 2009 or so but I have no idea why they would use it to provide aerial shots of a football game!

Bill,
Looks like that could be it, but from everything I could find to read on it I have to wonder. The airplane I saw had to be equipped for IFR flight. Seems that didn't come till much later after I saw it. Who knows maybe that is what I saw.

The more I look at it, the more I think that might be it. The passage of time (16 years) don't think has clouded my memory that much. I can't find anything else that it could possibly be.
