Can I bring along a camera?

Yes! The only requirement is that it must be secured to your person to prevent it falling in flight. Cell phone camera use is not allowed for this reason. (Dropping things into someone's picnic is a definite no-no!) We do offer in flight HD video as an option to all our tandem programs. (Ask for details.)
