Jim,

Here's a link to one of our local stations here in Mobile. (My dh works there.) http://www.fox10tv.com/
It's not hard to find the oil spill coverage on the site.

The news director has decided they must "own" the story, so we are hearing about it pretty much constantly, with the website frequently updated, extended newscasts, breaking in to regular programming for news conferences etc. The main meteorologist is also a fisherman with an outdoors show so he has been paying particularly close attention and has a good grasp of the situation. We've seen plenty of overhead views, but perhaps not on the grand scale you mention; the weather had been very rainy, misty and foggy here until yesterday.  I've seen lots of Coast Guard air traffic over Mobile so they're certainly up there now.
