The engine settles into a steady hum and the city of New Orleans slides into a new scale—rooftops shrink, ironwork courtyards become patterns, and the Mississippi cuts a dark ribbon through neighborhoods that have been arguing with the river for centuries. From the small cabin, champagne glasses clink softly; conversation drops to the level of the motor and the pilot points out a bend in the river like an old scar. This is a different way to meet the Crescent City: intimate, airborne, and tailored to whatever you want to see.
