Pittsburgh At Two-Hundred<\/h2>\n

I wanted to do something special to celebrate Pittsburgh’s 200th birthday. I couldn’t think of anything more special than capturing the entirety of the city from above. It has always been a bucket list item to photograph from an airplane. When an opportunity became available, I was thrilled to make it happen on Pittsburgh’s birthday. The only hitch was the weather. It was plenty warm, no rain, lovely clouds, but strong winds. When I spoke with my pilot friend, he asked, “You want to give this a try?”. I jumped in the car and headed to the airport. “It will be bumpy” was what he said. I climbed into the 1941 two seater cub and prepared for takeoff. The flight into the city was as advertised. I had a huge grin on my face the entire time. The city grew in size as we approached. It really is a shining jewel of the Appalachians. \u00a0We made a few loops around the city at about 800′ and I shot away. It was quite a thrill to see the city that I love from this angle. Happy Birthday, Pittsburgh. You look great for 200!<\/p>\n
