launchpad67a Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I got to go as a passenger on a photography flight over Lake Powell today. It was a 1 hour flight and it was incredible! Little Cessna, 4 seater plane with just 3 of us including the pilot. My friend was shooting pics for an upcoming brochure he's putting together, so I got to ride along. Took my little digital camera and here are a few pics. Sorry about the large size but I didn't want to knock the quality down too much. http://www.mikekreidel.com/flight/flight1.jpg http://www.mikekreidel.com/flight/flight2.jpg http://www.mikekreidel.com/flight/flight3.jpg http://www.mikekreidel.com/flight/flight4.jpg http://www.mikekreidel.com/flight/flight5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhiannon_of_Rivendell Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 These are nice! I really like the third one down. It looks like there's a pyramid in the image I would love to do that up here. We have scenic flights out of Wolfeboro Airport in the summer. Our takeoff & landings are done over the lake itself; off Wolfeboro Neck. I just might have to cough up the $$ to try it next summer. Thanks for the inspiration!

There was no fear... even the freefall was peaceful and without stress. I expected it to be a stressful or overly intense feeling on the body... and it wasn't. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

(Fear of heights, anyone else?) I have a fear of heights, too. I hate high ladders, and the edges of rooftops, and feeling like I'm going to fall. But I don't mind going up high if know I won't fall. There was no fear here - and I expected to be terrified. It's just so much higher than your mind allows itself to recognize as high. It's hard to explain. You know that pendulum attraction at amusement parks where they put you in that vest attached to a cable, and pull you up 100 ft, then you swing.... Well that nearly had me in a state of complete panic - and I was only 50 ft. up. I freaked. Yet skydiving didn't bother me at all. Go figure.

Alsgalpal Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Launch, those pictures are amazing, what a beautiful area you live in, I would seriously consider living in a place like that, but I fear that I would miss the greeness of Oregon, and would have to come back and rehydrate! I am glad that you don't take it for granted. Fantastic piccys!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Paganoman, you're just not normal. But I do know what you're talking about concerning amusement rides. I never used to fear those, but nowadays I don't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
