Who needs Radar? :)
It is kind of cool to see stereo imaging still being used and in far away places. It reminds me of when my dad took me to his work when I was a young teen. He worked for DMAC and took stereo images from Key Hole satellites (KH-11 I think) and using ancient technology hand traced topographical data to be input into the terrain following radar for the F-111 Aardvark bomber. If he didn't use his stereo glasses in conjunction with his little clear ruler device and cartography equipment he could miscalculate the height of a mountain and cause a bomber to by the farm. Talk about a pucker factor!
You wouldn't believe the size of the photo enlargers for the stock KH film. They could take that stock (50mm I think) film and blow it up to the size of a wall! I will never forget those trips to his office!
