How to get there

N41° 56' 05.2116"W87° 21' 38.5704"
This helicopter image was taken over Lake Michigan, looking west onto 875 North Michigan Avenue (formerly known as the John Hancock Center) and Chicago skyline. I flew with the Chicago Helicopter Experience, which is now permanently closed, but there are many other helicopter companies that offer the same view (like Chicago Aerial Tours www.chicagoaerialtours.com). To get this perspective of the city, I was sitting in the row next to the pilot by the left hand side window.
