Well, I took my first flight lesson and I convinced the instructor to let me fly over Kings Island. Here they are:

I also finally went to Kings Island this year so today was the best day ever!

I doubt I will. You need a special endorsement to fly VFR at night. The latest I can schedule is 9 P.M. so I'll have to look.

I kept seeing a plane flying around while I was working. Thats pretty cool.

Thanks!

Next to last photo....WOW.

Thank you for these...great to see the park from a different point of view

Thanks for posting these awesome photos! Maybe you could do it again some other time, but when the park is closed. When the park is closed I think you can fly alot closer. Right?

^i agree, lol. if you do another fly over Kings Island, would you please take some photos of Son of Beast's structure, like the rosebowl.

Your instructor isn't Mr. Pence was it? He used to be my instructor.

I don't know his last name, his first name is Josh though. I could technically fly as close as I wanted anytime, just as long as I don't hit anything. I'll try to fly there more often when my training starts picking up. I'm glad you guys enjoy the pictures.

Great pictures! And I envy you for your flying lessons!

Terp, who LOVES heights...perhaps just a bit too much!
