Cooper Aerial is very proud to be the Official Mapper to the North Pole! Cooper provided mapping services to Santa Clause for several expansion projects throughout the North Pole compound. Business has been so good that Santa is adding an additional production facility and is building a new development to house his Elves. (Maybe this is a sign of good things to come!) The sites were flown at 1000 ft above snow level using Santa's Sleigh and Reindeer. Santa's Chief Elfgineer was very impressed with Cooper's deliverables and definitely plans on using us for future projects.
Speaking of Santa Clause, rumor has it that the legend of Santa Clause is traced back to a monk named St. Nicholas who was born sometime around 280 A.D. Can anyone tell us where St. Nicholas is from? The first 10 correct responses to info@cooperaerial.com will receive a $20 gift certificate from Starbucks. Ho, Ho, Ho and a Merry Christmas!!

Project Highlights
Kern County, CA
We recently completed a project for Kern County providing mapping for 7 different areas in and around Ridgecrest. This imagery will be used to develop infrastructure including the improvement of existing roads and paving a number of gravel roads.
All mapping was provided in 1' pixels for planning use. Deliverables were provided in AutoCAD 3D 2010 with accompanying Civil 3d service files. We were able to deliver the entire project in 30 days.
Route 440 Bayonne, NJ
Cooper recently teamed up with Malick and Scherer to provide mapping for Jacobs Engineering. The project covered roughly 5 miles of Rt 440 from I78 to Rt1-9. The site was flown 1500 ft above sea level in order to produce 1" = 30', 1 ft mapping of the entire road way. This was yet another fun and challenging project on which we enjoyed working.

Cooper Holiday Party
We recently held the annual Cooper Aerial Christmas Party at World Sports Grill in Tucson. It was a great opportunity for the entire Cooper family to gather and celebrate another great year. Ben Saunders won the pool tournament by a landslide, congratulations Ben! It was a great time had by all!
