Default flying around niagara falls

The last time I flew around the Falls, I had to fly a racetrack hold
pattern at 3500 ft. Which was a hornets nest of helicopters at the
same altitude.


We could not see anything -too high, and were terrified by the
congestion. ...


My friend flew me over the Falls at that altitude. I enjoyed
the view very much.

Making two or three circuits would have been better than just one
pass if you have the time. It can take a little while to take
in the view, especially if you're fumbling with a camera at the
same time.
