Lincoln from the air (Lincoln through the lens)

October 5, 2015

Lincoln resident and pilot Philip Greenspun recently offered free helicopter rides Lincoln to town residents, and several took to the air with him armed with their cameras. Turns out it’s not so easy to navigate Lincoln from above, since so many of the roads are concealed by trees—and a house that looks so prominent from the ground can be almost impossible to spot amid the dense foliage. Here are some photos by Dennis Liu (who posted several on his Facebook page, including aerial views of his daughter’s soccer game) and Ben Dubrovsky. Greenspun was flying a Robinson R44 helicopter from the East Coast Aero Club at Hanscom Field.
