Several years ago a small group of us wanted to take a scenic airplane ride. The seaplane tour which used to be at the Lake charged $60 per person for a 15 minute flight. too much money. So we went to the private part of Laconia Airport and asked if anyone would be interested in flying our group around if we paid for the gas. Sure enough we found a pilot who was happy to get some air time in exchange for gas. We had a great 75 minute flight and it was much less than we would have paid for the seaplane tour. I can't remember if it was his plane or if we also shared the cost of a rental. Either way, our group thought it was a bargain and well worth what we spent.
I don't know how many helicopter pilots are around Laconia Airport but you might consider that. Maybe look around for some private 'copters and ask the owner. Post 9-11 that may not be as easy as it was years ago - just a thought.

SOLO:
Was that a spelling error? You mean your first few flights where you are flying
SO LOW over the terrain. You didn't mean that you otherwise would be flying
SO HIGH..... did you?
With apologies to Harry Chapin and his song TAXI - "we'd be flying so high when we're stoned"
