Depends on so many factors -- how quickly you're moving, does your landing zone stay in frame the whole time or do you fly over the horizon to get there, can you fly through clouds to create a transition, etc. etc.
Mainly try very hard to map out a single smooth trajectory and stick to it -- don't try to use, say, an aerial still from the wrong perspective for a section. Try to keep everything truly 3D -- there's a surprising amount of parallax on things like landforms, clouds and buildings when you're moving ridiculously fast. It's also super hard to match color, sun angle, contrast, detail, and noise from multiple stills at different scales. Good luck, let us see the final!
