WDW from 3,000 feet

[goofyfan13]

As promised a few weeks ago, I took my girlfriend flying on her recent trip down here to visit me and she snapped 20 pictures of WDW as we flew over top. Keep in mind it was a pretty hazy day this past Saturday (4-21-2007), so some of the pictures are a little hazy.
Enjoy!

On this one you can see the cleared land for the DVC expansion at AKL off to the left

On the next couple Epcot ones you can really notice how dirty the top of SSE is getting...

More to come in a minute!

My girlfriend just uploaded them to her computer and emailed them to me. These are fresh from Saturday, I took her flying, got clearance from Orlando to fly over WDW, and she started taking pictures. :wave:

Wow dude, great pics. Now if your Air Force let's see some sat imagery of Disney. I know all you AF guys got all the cool toys.

Seriously, are goofyfan13 and I the only military on here? Hmm, I wonder....

Nice. I love seeing WDW from that perspective.

Nice shot of Everest...it looks HUGE! Thanks for the pics!!

Thank you for the pics! I did not realize how close World Showcase was to the resort (is that BW?). I may have to saunder that way when we go down in October. Thanks again!

PS - we are a military family and my brother is Airforce. Thanks for serving our country.

Great pictures, thanks for sharing!
If not for the haze, many of those would be great to blow up and frame.

WOW! Thanks for posting...I love seeing WDW from a different perspective! I've been to WDW many times and it still amazes me how well they hide everything. When you're driving around the property, all you see is trees!

I took the liberty of 'removing' said haze from a few of the pics. I hope you don't mind.
