Ben Porter was the consummate helicopter pilot offering assistance
before and during the flight. Even after hours of preparation studying aerial maps,
Ben was a big help in locating landmarks from the air.
And the aerial photo-shoot for Louisville Colorado was a resounding success.
In fact, Louisville city planner, Sean McCartney had this to say. “Everyone is very impressed
with your work so you should feel very pleased at what you provided.”
