My no media of any sort or footage (from anyone) of the current conditions of the oil spread or how much is being seen from the air. It is called a black out area (or should be called one).

British Petroleum is most likely spraying spot of oil with a more toxic chemical to the (environment) surface of the Gulf of Mexico to lessen its look of how %&&*& up it really is.

These are some of restrictions from the site above on this area. (Via: FFA, know owned by BP)

All pilots operating within and near this area including the shoreline should exercise extreme caution due to the numerous low level operations associated with the deepwater horizon/mc-252 incident 3000 feet and below.

Aircraft involved in these operations may make sudden changes in direction, speed, and altitude. For additional information, participating aircraft altitude assignments and awareness, all pilots are recommended to review the following web site dedicated to the aviation cleanup efforts at: https://1afnorth.Region1.Ang.Af.Mil/deepwater_spill/default.Aspx

The incident commander has directed that aircraft participating in the deepwater horizon/mc252 incident, operate at the altitudes assigned by mission type unless otherwise directed.
