Original Note:
This is not a regular commercial flight. Rather this is a plane equiped with LIDAR that is used to create topographical maps, map power infrastructure etc. The LIDAR model seen in the footage is the Galaxy PulseTrack https://www.teledyneoptech.com/en/products/airborne-survey/galaxy/ Description of aerial lidar mapping: https://www.usgs.gov/media/images/lidar-plane
