The Mile High Club

My brother and I have paid for my dad to join the mile high club on Saturday for his 70th Birthday

I would like to take photo of him doing this, but from a distance using my Tamron 70-300mm lens

Would i be better, hand held or tripod as he'll be move up and then down I assume quite fast pace

Apparently they can join the mile high club at Sutton Bank, if anybody else is wants too Thumbs Up Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I'm assuming the mile high club means something different from what I thought it did?

Or maybe dad's just very lucky Laughing

I read that in a completely different context as well
As I was reading it I was thinking (take photos if him doing this but he will be moving up and down in a fast pace) that a bit weird Laughing

As I read down to the next post I clocked what you was on about Very Happy

If you Google The mile high Club it will surely come up with something slightly different than gliding Laughing BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

I doubt Im going to get a good photo of him at a mile high, but hoping something whilst they are spiralling up to altitude


Shame i don't have a GoPro to strap to his head to film it, maybe they do? Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
