    I did it "once"....they're $250 each for a 16" x 20" I think that's the size of the pics, you have to pay for all them (4-5 pics) before they ship them, then whatever you don't want they reimburse your CC, the process sucks and they're expensive.
    The way we've been doing it is getting 8-10 guys together and a photographer, rent a copter for two hours and split the cost, now it's easier if you're in a boat club like we are, we're in FMO and we do it a few times a year, pics turn out great.

    That's the hot ticket.

    I've wanted to do this and was talking about it with my buddy the morning before I got my picture taken.

    Here's a few from our runs, much cheaper and nicer.

    That's my Formula lower left of the bottom pic, New Years Day doesn't get much better than this.

    Big mistake. I will post my experiences with them a little later. I'm a little busy right now.

    And FYI, you can rent your own helicopter for $400-500.

    Thought about it once. They followed me around Havasu for 10 minutes one day. Once I read the fine details and everything else said no way. All I wanted to do was preview the photos so I could decide which ones I was going to order.
    If you could veiw the photos (watermakred to avoid the digitial download) online for a small dollar amount then purchase, I think they could make more $$.

    They said they would only charge my CC $1 to verify.

    They send you a few photos, you have ten days to send back the ones you don't want and then they charge you.
