There are apps for various smartphones that do the similar feats, but obviously require having the phone at hand. I saw these in the article on http://mashable.com/2011/09/18/future-technology

Civil Twilight - Letters From The Sky (Video)

Aerial tour of Trinidad and Tobago

I was lucky enough to get a front seat ride in a Cessna 172, here are some pics and video!

My Captain was Mr. John Gedeon (john.gedeon@gmail.com), http://www.johngedeon.com/
He is available for trips of your own. It is definitely affordable and a fraction of the price compared to a helicopter ride which is upward of $500USD an hour.

The tour lasted about an hour and was very enjoyable. It was from Piarco, to Port of Spain, to San Fernando, then Princes Town and finally back to Piarco.
