You
can walk, hike, run, drive and even sail around Newport. But for a
truly unique perspective of the City by the Sea, you need something
like a Bird’s Eye View. That’s the name of Jeff Codman’s company, whose helicopter tours of
Newport and Aquidneck Island provide up-close and personal view of
places most people would never get to see from land or sea, such as
the two huge ponds from across the road from Easton’s Beach
(called, simply enough, Easton’s Pond South and Easton’s
Pond North) or...

Jeff Codman pushed the cyclic control of his
helicopter so the thumping aircraft made a wide loop above the landing
area. He could see a crowd gathered on the ground. They were waiting
for the helicopter's special passenger. Codman circled twice more
before descending to a roped-off area in the parking lot at the
Wakefield Mall in South Kingstown. It was Black Friday - the official
start of the Christmas shopping season - and as soon as the skids
settled to the ground, Santa Claus jumped...

– Did you ever wonder
what it would be like to have a bird’s eye view of the earth?
To fly high in the sky and suddenly zoom downward to take a close
look at the world below? Or, to soar off toward Point Judith, then
