West Midlands from the air.

I went out for a quick flight with one of my mates from Birmingham at the weekend. Just went up for a quick buzz about in a two seater over the Wolverhampton and Kidderminster area.
Then when we returned another guy at the flying club was taking a 4 seater out for a bit and asked us if we fancied a trip to a couple of pubs with him.

Anyway, here are a few random shots from the both flights.
I'll be honest, i was too **** scared to take the doors off, but if anyone asks it was because it was raining ok.
So all these have been taken through vibrating perspex windows.

Pre flight checks.

Up and away.

And a few from the air.

I think this is Kidderminster?

Come small village.

Big old manor house. (Heavily cropped.)

Flood waters.

And a choo choo.

Nice set and love the steam train ones. What form of transport was the aircraft?

 

[bass_junkie83]

It was the R22 and R44 as shown in the first images that i went up in.

I am guessing helicopters


Liking the aerial shots, despite things like google earth, shots from high up are always worth seeing as they are an angle thats so much more rare than from round height.

btw, I think a little processing would really make the colours in the village shot pop.
