Were you in the class bravo, or under a shelf? I might make that flight if I could stay clear of the bravo.

Awesome pictures!

How did you mount the camera to the tail? Is the camera running all the time or can you take pictures when you want?

Really cool though.

I agree. Eye-catching pics, in part due to the perspective.

This heightens my motivation to put a camera at the top of my Christmas list. I'll have to go back to Rich's instructional videos for another tutorial...

We were under the 3,500' shelf flying at 2,500' MSL.

PS - You can get flight following and tell them you'll be sight-seeing over downtown... it's a good idea due to all the traffic coming in and out of FTY & PDK.

I used the GoPro suction cup mount. I also have the WiFi remote so you can operate the camera from inside the plane.

All I see in the foreground is some nice rivet lines! Great pictures.

If you mounted the camera just a tiny bit lower, I bet you could get some interesting video looking through the window(s).

Cool, thanks. With ATL only 20min away by air I need to put this on my list of flights to make.

Land at PDK and pick me up. I'll go with you. Been dying to see a CT up close!

I'd love to meet up with you guys, but it's probably not going to be at PDK, that's a little too busy an airport for me. I could do LZU though.
