Aerial geology....rock your world?!?

A few months, I posted asking if there were “any flying geologist outs there” (original link is below) & got back a few replies…. well, at least no-one told me to pi$$ off, which was something… in fact, there were a couple of nice ideas!Anyway, since then, I’ve been thinking some more about the whole wasted link between flying and What’s Below.Which is REALLY weird if you think about it… Now, what I’m talking about is not your standard “flightseeing” nor digital surveying either…..as I think I said in the other post, more using the plane as a “tool” to explain what’s going on in front of you.What I’d like to know is there anyone out there who would be interested in this kind of idea….either running on an ad hoc basis among a group of people interested in the subject or more seriously??There are several places where this might work in the UK, including one “world-class” location with half a dozen airfields in striking distance…Please PM me if you’re interested!Link to original post:

I'm no geologist. I spent a couple of years flying in the Grand Canyon (USA), which has some really interesting geology. It's very visible from the airplane, and I spent quite a bit of time studying the history and the makeup of the canyon...including it's geology. I've always found it facinating to look down at the earth and read it's makeup, it's layers.

Other aspects of geology have more than a passing interest, such as the influence of volcanic activity on safety. It's hard not to look down and take an interest in what's going on.
