I've always found aerial pictures to be a great way to get another perspective on the city we live in. Thanks to the good folks at the Brandon Flight Centre I was able to go up in the air for a couple loops around Brandon before lunch today. With camera in tow I snapped a little less than two hundred shots, which I narrowed down about a couple dozen that have been added to this thread…. some of which show construction projects underway in the city, others notable buildings and some are just random things that caught my interest.  
 
Local photographer James Tree came along and I gather will be adding a few shots of his own a little later.  
 
Enjoy!

Thanks all.... its a fun thing to do once every year or two. Amazing the difference it makes when taking pics with the window open. Maybe next time I'll have the cojones to let them take the door off the plane for an even better view  
 
Re the pic of cars, I couldnt say for sure but it was right near the start of the flight, I believe North of the Trans Canada. We took off to the West and then did a turn to end up in line with the West edge of the city by Riverheights.  
 
Boyd Stadium was one I didn't get, but was great to read about how its coming along!  
Did just add this shot of the Ashley Neufeld Softball Complex which is looking excellent itself:

A few of James Tree's pics have also been added. Amazing to see what a bag of gear a real photographer brings along for these kinds of shoots, lenses et all!

Had a request to update with higher resolution and figured why not. Have updated the link below with clearer and bigger pics, and if from that link you click on individual photos you'll get much larger still blown up shots where you can zoom in further. There are also a few more bonus shots that weren't used yesterday:

Loves Music: Absolutely... if you guys check the email account for the address that's listed on your website for the park I've sent a note with another pic that you might get use of.  
 
Only thing I ask is that if anyone uses the pics elsewhere, please cite eBrandon.ca as the source unless we work out an understanding beforehand!
