The pics were from between 1500' & 2000' if i remember correctly.

I got an opportunity go go up in a small plane, not sure which kind it was.  It was neat to see the area from the area.  I was lucky to see the train go, on a random fly buy.

Here are four photos from Red Heun. He writes:

I flew a guy with a real camera as opposed to just me flying solo with my cell phone. These were taken the morning of October 15, 2016. They came out really well as you can see. A lot of detail if you zoom in.
