This was a short flight today, and it's main purpose other than
to have fun was to try and perfect many aerial photo shooting techniques 
with my new camera. Because of this, I only have available for display a
handful compared to my last flight a week before. Regardless, I think you
will find them interesting and enjoyable.

As always, I hope you enjoy the view from above !!!

This is a BIG post with (38) photos, though it was difficult to pick only the "Highlights" from Sunday's flight. The weather was a bit hazy, but the

the Garden State (New Jersey).
