AutoPano Pro/Giga [1] is great, although not free software, for this. It
does a great job of stitching "normal" photos together, (in jpeg or tiff),
but I don't know how well it manages aerial photography.

There are open-source equivalents [2] but they do not do a great job of
finding the "control points" as easily as AutoPano Pro/Giga
