The USGS NAPP aerial photography was taken over a three year period during the following months.
1994: Jan, Mar, Apr, Dec
1995: Jan, Feb, Apr
1996: Jan, Feb, Mar
This was necessary to cover the entire 16 county region due to cloud cover, burning sugar cane fields, and variable sidelap/overlap on flight lines.
