Introducing “Oak Creek Canyon,” Greg Brown’s latest “View from the Flying Carpet” Aerial Fine Art Metal Print!

Hey Friends, check out Northern Arizona’s “Oak Creek Canyon”, my latest “View from the Flying Carpet” Fine Art Metal Print!

Scenic Oak Creek Canyon stretches from legendary red-rock Sedona, Arizona some 12 miles and 2,300 vertical feet up the Coconino Plateau into the world’s largest Ponderosa Pine Forest surrounding Flagstaff.

I was treating two young friends to their first light airplane ride, when this striking perspective framed itself in my window. “Toss me my camera!” I shouted to my backseat passenger, and had time to snap just two quick shots… the only photographs I’d shoot this flight. Upon later posting on social media, this photograph generated among the most numerous and enthusiastic responses I’ve ever received.

To quote legendary photographer Rowland Scherman, “If you don’t have your camera with you when the flying saucer comes by, you won’t get the photograph.”

Like all my Fine Art Metal Prints, “Oak Creek Canyon,” ready-to-hang pricing starts at just $160, with super-affordable US shipping all the way up to the largest sizes.

Many thanks to all who invest in my prints, books, and pilot achievement plaques!

“Grand Canyon Confluence,” Greg Brown’s latest Fine Art Aerial Photo Metal Print!

Hey Friends, check out “Grand Canyon Confluence” of the Colorado & Little Colorado Rivers, my latest “View from the Flying Carpet” Fine Art Metal Print!

The Colorado and Little Colorado Rivers converge at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, Arizona.

Their confluence is notable because the Little Colorado is muddier than the Colorado with different silt, so the water colors of the two rivers are strikingly different where they merge. And the sand bar at their confluence is a popular stop for rafters transiting the Canyon. Few people get to enjoy this aerial perspective of the feature, captured from my Flying Carpet.

Like all my Fine Art Metal Prints, “Grand Canyon Confluence,” ready-to-hang pricing starts at just $160, with super-affordable US shipping all the way up to the largest sizes.

“Time Travel,” Greg Brown’s Flying Carpet Podcast #31

Ride along with renowned aviator, writer, and photographer Greg Brown in his light airplane, the Flying Carpet, as he searches behind clouds for the real America, experiencing countless aerial adventures along the way.


Listen to “Time Travel,” Greg’s Flying Carpet Podcast Flight #31

One thing I love about flying is that there are so many dimensions to it. It might be as simple as going from point a to point B… For a meeting… Or a “hundred-dollar hamburger.”

But sometimes piloting takes you mystically and magically to faraway placesโ€”spiritually or across time. And that’s what this story is about.

So climb into my Flying Carpet, buckle up your seatbelts and prepare to takeoff on today’s adventure, “Time Travel.”

“Eclipse!” Greg Brown’s Flying Carpet Podcast #30

Ride along with renowned aviator, writer, and photographer Greg Brown in his light airplane, the Flying Carpet, as he searches behind clouds for the real America, experiencing countless aerial adventures along the way.


Listen to “Eclipse!” Greg’s Flying Carpet Podcast Flight #30

As I record this, we’re just days away from the 2024 total solar eclipse that will traverse Mexico and much of the Midwest and eastern United States.

I suspect that many of you plan on flying to see this eclipse, but if you’re not, you probably should be.

Plenty of people have experienced a partial solar eclipse, and a few have experienced an annular solar eclipse.

But if you’ve never experienced a total solar eclipse, it’s so much more exciting and so much more memorable, that it’s something you don’t want to miss.

In this episode, I’ll share the stories two previous solar eclipses I’ve experienced, which I believe you’ll find interesting and inspiring whether you’re preparing to attend the 2024 Total Eclipse, or have already experienced one.

So climb into my Flying Carpet, buckle up your seatbelts and prepare to takeoff on today’s adventure, “Eclipse!”
