One less item on my bucket list - London Helicopter Tour
 
It was my birthday on July 16th, my 55th I thought of treating myself to this:

and here are the pics I took from the chopper

How many landmarks do you recognize in these pics?

Funny enough London's buildings are not as tall as NYC and if you compare the London tour with New York's which has really tall skyscrapers and therefore the helicopter has to fly much higher it's difficult to compare the two experiences

here's NYC trip I did last year

Thanks, those headphones were useless, kept crackling and cutting out I took mine off as I was just concentrating on taking pics. I went home with 141 shots the sharpest ones are the ones you see in that link.

No I did the London Sights, the Max was too expensive

Nice photos - looks like a fun. I did a helicopter flight over London in 1988, before they built any of the skyscrapers. How things have changed! The high point then was the Nat West Tower.
