Flight Costs

[germe1967]

Hi Everyone,

I was advised by an experienced hunter that I might want to fly over the area I'm thinking of hunting just to get a good idea what the lay of the land is. Being I have never availed myself of a flight like that, I am wondering what kind of cost I should be looking at. I have no idea what is the "going" cost of a fly over of, for instance, the Little Su, area. Just a ballpark so I don't get taken would be great.

Thanks,
Gerry:confused:

A quick search on the web will help. Here's a few I turned up.

I'm sure these guys would do a custom trip.

Google Earth It

Lot cheaper to see it first on Google Earth, if that don't help then

Yes, Google Earth is a great tool to study terrain with. I use it often and repeatedly to study an area.

another vote for google earth

I've been "scouting" the lay of the land for a few months now. Just remember to consider the time of the year the shots were taken. For instance, the hunt area I am looking over was taken at the end of July, a month before my hunt. If they had been taken in April, it might be a whole different story.

My dad used to use terraflyer or something like that on the web as well, before google earth came along...maybe they are one in the same now???
