[Talk-us-massachusetts] 2019 Orthophotos are here!

SWEET!
Thanks Greg!
I just checked MassGIS "Whats New" page this morning and it wasn't there.
I was able to load this new imagery in the iD editor by pasting:
https://tiles.arcgis.com/tiles/hGdibHYSPO59RG1h/arcgis/rest/services/USGS_Orthos_2019/MapServer/tile/{zoom}/{y}/{x}
in the custom background box
I wish that picture they posted of the flight lines & control points was 
bigger.
Looks like each imagery stripe is 1 mile wide.
