GoPro on the Go: Pilot Shares Breathtaking Photos from the Sky
For the first installment of our new GoPro series, pilot Tiffany Brown shoots images in-flight.
By Brenda Hill on October 3, 2014
In our new series, “GoPro on the Go,” we’ll be showcasing photography from the GoPro HERO 3+, capturing extraordinary views of everyday life. In each installment, we’ll feature the GoPro photography of a different GoPro user with a unique passion and point of view. This week, pilot Tiffany Brown is taking us above the cloud line of Kansas and Missouri with the GoPro HERO 3+, on loan from Verizon Wireless. Brown began her life of adventure as a licensed pilot after her professional skydiver father gave her a love of taking flight, and she’s currently training for a commercial pilot’s license.
