I tried this about 3 years ago, I was hiring a trailer off a guy who owned a microlight plane, the subject came to weather for the holiday & strayed onto his microlight, I said I had an interest in aviation as I photographed planes & he said he wanted an aerial photo of his church for their new website.
Voila, up I went with my 18-55 & 100-400. Managed to take shots of all three kids' schools, the house, church where we married & lots more.
You can see how I got on in my blog entry -
