Those of you that follow me on Twitter, may have seen the post where I mentioned the awesome New Years “party” that we did - flying over Salt Lake City at midnight to see the fireworks from the air.

My brother-in-law Chris, was our pilot for that night and was kind enough to take my wife and I with him and my sister. We took off from Airport #2 out in West Jordan, flew down over Utah County for a bit, and made it back up to SLC just in time for midnight to fly over downtown.

Chris got a new HD camera for Christmas, and so we were able to shoot some video while we were up there. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to fly directly over a fireworks show, now you can see it. The fireworks were being launched from near the Gallivan Center.

Watching the show there was great, but it was also pretty amazing to be able to see all the various fireworks displays across the valley all at once. This is easily one of the most memorable New Years that I’ve had so far, and would do it again in a heartbeat.
