This afternoon I had the pleasure of taking an aerial photography trip! Chris did a great job of flying me from Tunkhannock, PA, to Bethlehem, PA, and return. We flew over three operating slate quarries and several abandoned ones before looking at cement mills and Bethlehem Steel. Photos from the first leg of the trip are online at:

ah yea, well you know...... its all the photographer, i just put the plane where he wanted :D also i told mike that he wasnt allowed to get sick, or id put the pilots parachute on him and dump him out :lol: we took our skydiving plane and you have to wear a parachute while flying jumpers so i put it in the back of the plane while i took him.

I just finished putting the Bethlehem Steel flyover photos online. They are at:

Chris suggested that I take some video, so here it is:

We wore headphones in the plane, so the actual experience was much quieter than what you hear on the video.

I made another aerial photography trip over Bethlehem Steel yesterday. Tim Nyemscek graciously took me up in his plane, flying out of Allentown. The images are at:
