I'm Ed Fink, and these are my 360 degree panoramas. I believe I'm the first VR photographer in the world to do high resolution spherical panoramas from a helicopter. 
The 360 degree aerials are such a blast they're my main focus now, although I still shoot lots of ground-level VR, like crowd panoramas, building interior/exteriors, and even cars.
I loved making these panoramas, and I hope you enjoy looking at them.
If you think your business can use an aerial or ground level panorama, email me at or call me at 651-483-1557.
NEW!!! I'm in the process of converting from QuickTime to Flash Panorama Player. So far only a few virtual tours have been fully converted to the new Flash interface. Take a look at the new interface, it offers features far beyond those available in QuickTime!
