High Resolution Digital Aerial Photography

This came across a listserv. I've thought about this for years, but never heard of anyone actually doing it. Is there anyone else out there doing this?
We have had excellent success with FujiFilm 4700 and expect to have good success with Sony CyberShot DSC-T1. Our use has been primarily using our camera suspended 300 to 700 ft in the air, taking straight down photos that we stitch together with our GIS mapping software. After over 6000 photos, we can testify that these cameras are durable and reliable for high resolution digital aerial photography.
I wonder what platform they are using, kite, RC plane, or RC helicopter?
