This aerial photograph of the Executive Yuan was taken December 16, 1978 from a Beechcraft Super King Air 200. Purchased from the U.S. in 1978, these fixed-wing planes are configured for aerial surveillance and equipped with cameras and radars. They were Taiwan’s first aircraft with the cabin pressurization control and high-altitude reconnaissance capacity to enable aerial photography.
