“Aerial America” to offer bird’s eye view of all 50 states
The Smithsonian Channel is giving viewers something to look forward to in 2009. It’s a new series titled “Aerial America” that will profile the USA in 50 hour-long high definition programs.
Working with the Smithsonian Channel on the project will be Skyworks, one of the world’s top high definition aerial filming specialists.
The crew will criss-cross the nation in a Smithsonian Channel-branded helicopter equipped with a gyro-stabilized Cineflex HD camera system. They will spend about six months airborne and cover approximately 60,000 miles — a distance comparable to two-and-a-half trips around the planet.
Plans include watching bears catch salmon in Alaska’s rivers, following Bonnie and Clyde’s escape route through the Ozarks of Arkansas and finding the original London Bridge that is now on a lake in Arizona.
No word yet on what Oklahoma’s highlights will be. But this much is certain: the series, which is scheduled to premiere in summer 2009 on Smithsonian Channel, should be spectacular.

Demand for business education from Asia has outstripped that of all other regions combined in recent years, according to the Graduate Management Admission Council, which administers the standard entrance exam used by most global business schools. The number of Graduate Management Admission Tests taken in Asia last year was 34,449, compared with 21,376 in North America. Also, the proportion of GMAT scores submitted by Asian applicants to business programs in the U.S. fell from 77% in 2005 to 67% in 2009, while regional programs in India, China, Hong Kong and Singapore all experienced a rise in the number of GMAT scores they received over the same period.
Your Aerial America Series I have only seen just a handful of states shown. Where are the rest of the States? Like Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota.

Hey! Oklahoma has Lake Eufala (in fact, they have 200 man-made lakes), the Red River, Ouachitas, Arbuckles, Wichitas, and the Ozarks, Great Salt Plains, Six Flags Frontier City, Deer, Buffalo, Indian Powows, and if we are lucky, they might catch a tornado for everyone to see!!!!!
