- A weekly roundup of news from AOPA: the largest aviation community in the world. Together as a community of current, past, and future pilots, we promote the safety, fun and affordability of general aviation.
- Camera pilot and aerial coordinator Fred North doesn't just use his helicopter to get from point A to point B. His chopper has a camera attached to it, operated by a camera operator, and the ways in which North flies his ship determines the angle of the shots. Camera pilots help add speed and energy to action sequences in movies. Because cars aren't always going as fast as they seem on set for safety reasons, North was crucial for the epic car chases in many of the "Fast and Furious" movies. He can also safely film explosions from the air and could keep up with Tom Cruise and his motorcycle in "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation." In Michael Bay's "Ambulance," North worked alongside camera drones to plot out some of the film's most exciting chases.
