Marinette from the Air


Over Thanksgiving, Dave took Brad, Sarah, and I for a plane ride in his Cessna 182 around the Marinette / Menominee area.  Taking photos from a moving plane isn't the easiest thing to do due to turbulence and g-forces.  Depending on the plane, landing gear and wings can obscure the view but this wasn't the case with the 182.  It is always interesting to see an area you know well from the air. 

The photos came out pretty good considering it was a hazy day.  Click on a photo to be taken to Flickr which has more photos and larger sizes (click on the "All Sizes" button above the photo).


The Menominee River a few miles inland from Green Bay.  The Marinette Marine warehouse is the big building on the right side.  The left side of the river is Michigan and the right Wisconsin.



Another shot of the Menominee River emptying into Green Bay.  The left side of the river is Michigan and the right Wisconsin.



The very new Peshtigo bypass which still isn't on Google Maps or any GPS.
