Let’s Take It Up a Level – And This Time, Make It Even More Fun! Can You Spot It From the Air?

Readers of our two sister publications, Newtown Square Friends & Neighbors and Marple Friends & Neighbors, enjoyed some sky-high fun reading a monthly recurring feature in their hometown magazines from 2019 to 2020. The photo feature was called: “Can You See It From The Sky?”. But it became one of the most read pages of our magazine with each new issue that followed because readers loved the combination of local trivia questions with the answer hidden by a cryptic hint about a local place and a photo of it taken from the air.

Readers rose up to the monthly challenge of considering a riddled hint through the lens of the drone camera because everyone has pretty good awareness of sites across Marple Newtown. They loved the monthly testing of their hometown geography, even with brain pain, realizing that places seen from the ground all the time can look very different from the air. And if the photo or hint could land readers an answer, they could always turn to a page in the same issue for the answer so they could learn or prove that yes, they could spot it from the air.

Can You Spot It From The Air? Take the challenge first published in our April 2019 issue of Newtown Square Friends & Neighbors. Look at the aerial photo while considering this same cryptic hint that stumped readers five years ago this month.

I can’t share all of it yet, but something new is in the air that could have us bringing back “Can You Spot It From The Air?” after five years. Readers are still asking for its return and I have a new idea that can make the feature more interesting for more readers. But I need your help to get this project back up in the air. I need a drone pilot willing to contribute their drone flying skills and their time of only an hour or so each month.

If you’re a drone hobbyist, come fly with us. I can’t pay you, but you’ll meet nice people and become known in your community as a highflier, through your published photo credits. And (if you want), your contact information will be published too, so perhaps readers who may need your aerial photography can contact you. Even more, your drone-flying hobby will serve your hometown with you on the Newtown Edgmont Friends &
Neighbors magazine team, serving our Bringing People Together mission with each new monthly issue in print and online at TheNEMag.com. Call me, or tell your drone-flying family member or friend to call Bob Blaisse at 610-453-5536, or email BBlaisse@BestVersionMedia.com.
