Are you willing to arm wrestle people for the window seat on airplane just for the chance to take pictures? If you answered "yes,"  you will definitely like the photographs below. In this collection, we have photos from airplanes, balloons, RC planes and even kites! Aerial photography has its roots in World War and has been used for real estate and construction projects, tourism, and spying. It has now become a real art form.

If you are passionate about aerial photography, please check out the work of Alex Maclean and Yann Arthus-Bertrand, both are masters of the craft.
