Above Oxford: Taking a flight from the Miami airport

Recently, on a photo assignment to cover the Miami University Airport, I had the opportunity to fly in a single engine plane over Oxford and surrounding areas. I spoke with employees of Mac’s Seaplane Service, the company that occupies half of the airport space (CVG airport occupies the other half). Bob, Dylan, Troy, and Julia (president of the Miami University Aviation Club!) were wonderful hosts, showing us around hangars, answering questions, and eventually taking us up in an aircraft. The views were breathtaking and the experience was thrilling. The flight (quite literally) showed me Oxford in a new perspective–one I’ll never forget.
