I've looked hard for photos that might show a large crowd size and found nothing but close-ups and photos from other cities or years – nothing to verify anything like Trump's ever-increasing claims.

I can imagine that authorities did what they could to control the air space above the events, e.g. to exclude random drones; but given Trump's desire to tout his crowd size, and with all the planned military air vehicle demonstrations, it's hard to believe that Trump would not somehow have arranged photography of a large crowd size if it had in fact materialized.
