An earlier post linked to the publicity videos associated with the photographic flights, and one clearly show the route being planned on the basis of the requests from the pax/amateur photographers. I would say that Ned is right in his assertions and the mooted premise that these are single route scenic flights are incorrect.
Good to see that you are buying a new harness, Ned. We put you in a quick release harness whenever you flew with us, all those years ago. How time flies....
