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!

360 degree aerial panorama of the Crazy Horse Memorial, the world’s largest sculpture, located in the Black Hills of South Dakota 17 miles southwest of Mount Rushmore.
When completed, the mountain carving of Crazy Horse astride his horse will be 563 feet (172 meters) high and 641 feet (214 meters) long. Crazy Horse's head is 87 feet 6 inches (27 meters) high. The horse's head, currently the focus of work on the mountain, is 219 feet (67 meters) high.
The work was begun in 1948 by sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski at the request of Native Americans. Korczak died in 1982. His wife, Ruth, and their family continue the project working with the Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation.
Korczak depicted Crazy Horse with his left hand thrown out pointing in answer to the derisive question asked by a white man, "Where are your lands now?" Crazy Horse replied, "My lands are where my dead lie buried."
The Memorial includes the Indian Museum of North America, the Native American Cultural Center, the sculptor’s studio, as well as a 40,000-square-foot Orientation Center and theaters. Many Native American artists and crafts people create their artwork and visit with guests at the Memorial during the summer season.
