\nFortunately, the ‘few’ that got to go airborne to the White Party on Saturday, July 20 – Kimberly and Leigh McConchie, piloted by Heather Howley, Owner of Independent Helicopters – are long-time friends of Planet Arthur. They were delighted to be commissioned to provide this gallery to all of our readers, so that you might enjoy glimpses of their ‘high life’ (literally!). <\/p>\n

This fortuitous birds-eye viewing opportunity occured when Kim and Leigh (for the second year in a row!) were the high bidders on a pre-event package donated by Independent Helicopters, Inc. which included Helicopter arrival on the Prime at Saratoga National Golf Course practice green.
\n\"\"
\nEnough chatter already – Let’s roll! Right, Kim?
