Super Bowl Sunday And My Past Aerial Pix Of Indy's Lucas Oil Stadium

(click pic for hi-res) Downtown Indianapolis from the Farmers Airship - August 2011
With football's biggest day now in our lap, and the start of Super Bowl XLVI (that's 46 for the non-Romans among us) just hours away inside Indy's awesome Lucas Oil Stadium, I figure this is a good time to re-share two aerial pictures I was blessed to be able to capture of downtown Indianapolis in the last two years. The first one above is the most recent, taken in August 2011 from the Farmers Airship, the modern and amazing Zeppelin NT. For more pix and the full post, please check out: I Rode The Zeppelin! - The Farmers Airship In Indy! (Short Post). I'm still planning to put up the long post on this ride which will include some video, but too much work to do and not enough time means I haven't got that done yet.
The second pic (below) was taken from the B-17 named Yankee Lady back in June 2010. It was an incredible flight I was able to go on during the 2010 Indy Air Show that had us flying over downtown for 30 minutes or so and then making a pass right over Victory Field ballpark that's located very near Lucas Oil Stadium. For more info on that ride-of-a-lifetime with more fabulous pix of Indy from the B-17, please check out: 2010 Indy Air Show Pic Stream #3 - B-17 'Yankee Lady' Ride! I'm noticing that I also planned to expand that ride into a more detailed post... I guess I've got some work to do!
Anyway, these pictures of downtown Indianapolis and Lucas Oil Stadium were really just byproducts of two simply stunning rides that I was able to participate in. And I'm glad that Super Bowl Sunday has come along to give me the reason to share them with you once again... which has also given me the chance to re-live two perfect rides in a couple of very different and fascinating flying machines : )
