About
One of the things that makes Atlanta unique is it's good balance of urban Architecture and Naturalistic Landscapes. This tour combines a bit of both. Start by taking a lap around the Buckhead skyline, buzzing the tops of the skyscrapers. Then head over to the Chattahoochee River and check out all of the historic estates that line the the banks of the river. Next enjoy the view from the air over the Vinings and Cumberland Overlook areas. Finally, check out Suntrust Park, the new home of The Atlanta Braves! When there is not a Braves home game, we can even fly right over the top of the stadium so you can look straight down onto the field!
