#FlyNYONMiami
NYonAir, a custom aerial content agency specializing in breath-taking birds-eye-views and visuals of New York, is proud to announce the launch of its new consumer product offering, FlyNYON; and its first city expansion into the South Florida market. The newly introduced FlyNYON invites consumers and adventure seeking photographers to soar through the sky to capture original citywide aerial images – just like the pros. The company offers guests state of the art helicopter flights, guided by photo-centric pilots to position them above the city and shoot out of an open door, for one of the most distinct vantage points in the world. Affordably priced, this incredible experience allows photo-enthusiasts the rare chance to capture wide city shots that a million dollar penthouse just can’t offer. To kick-off in this new market, the promotion now includes an Instagram based consumer contest using campaign hashtag #FlyNYONMiami that will reward the best shots of Miami with complimentary “Photo Flights” at its invite-only launch event at the North Perry Airport on April 11; For additional details on the Instagram photo contest, visit: http://media.nyonair.com/flynyonmiami-contest/.
