I used to fly model sailplanes and found out it is very hard to aim the camera and get the pic you want but then Area 51 is pretty big and anything would probably be fun. There used to be a web site that had a little inexpensive PC board that would toggle a Kodak DC20 camera using an unused signal (ie your landing gear switch or whatever) on your aircraft receiver. It might still be around. The little board cost only about $15 and came ready programmed. One end plugged into the receiver and the other into the camera and fired the camera with software rather than trying to trigger it with a servo. Good luck but I would imagine trying to take aerial pictures there would create more of a headache for you than anything else. The DC20 has pretty poor resolution compared to a telescope from Tikaboo or somewhere.
