Takeoff at LaGuardia Airport (LGA) Runway 31 with Commentary from a New Yorker

[@MaryNYC1]

I'm a life-long jaded New Yorker and those views over the Manhattan skyline never gets old. Great video.

[@ActionKid]

Thank you so much! I had great visibility for this takeoff and views of the Manhattan skyline.

[@سندسند-ر8غ]

Hello

[@robertm2002]

Beautiful view of NYC from the sky. Thank AK.👍

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome! It was a picture-perfect view!

[@surfboard396]

Hey Ken. Nice job on the takeoff from LaGuardia. Awesome pointing out the sites of all five boroughs. Good luck and have fun back in Miami. Thanks.

[@vitomcsween974]

Now that was an incredible aerial view of Central Park you had

[@ActionKid]

I couldn't believe it either! It was the perfect view

[@manuheber9011]

A really big park 😆

[@JM-ig4ed]

omg - what an amazing view of NY and Jersey coast - beautiful day for flying - thanks for taking us along.

[@ActionKid]

My pleasure! Thanks for stopping by!

[@theflyingplumber]

Runway 31 is the magnetic heading of 310 degrees. That would be North West direction. 36 or 360 is North. Zero is dropped on the runways.

[@mj1234321]

Very nice view of Red Bank, NJ at around 22 min! At 23:30 you're in the right ballpark and as I look again, yes that's Asbury right as you zoom in. Just to the right/south is the Shark River Inlet between Avon and Belmar. At 25 min you're looking at Seaside Heights.

[@Egcredible]

Actionkid Thank You For Taking Us On A Beautiful Flight! 17:22 The Views Of Hudson Yards & Lower Manhattan Looked Better On The Flight,16:35 Central Park,A Nice Picnic Spot! 20:23 Verrazano Bridge,Coney Island And Breezy Point Is In The View! If I Gaze Farther I Could See Mill Basin & Marine Pkwy Bridge 🌁

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome! There were so many great views of NYC in this takeoff

[@manuheber9011]

It's a good all in one!👍👏🛫🗽😆

[@PeterMasella]

Can't wait to watch this one!

[@sampowellmusic]

its worth it!

[@PeterMasella]

@@sampowellmusic Absolutely! He chose the correct side of the plane for the best views!

[@macart5429]

These views are AMAZING. I remember when we departed LGA to fly back to Orlando in June 2022, it was partly cloudy, the climb are very quick so I didn’t have time to point out anything. That takeoff was very smooth and seems the pilots took their time to let the passengers on the left enjoy these views. Thanks for sharing!

[@jarihult]

Such an enjoyable premiere , the whole thing from the take off , the views from up the air are awesome 😎Thank you for sharing this very enjoyable video A K 🙂👍!!!

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome! I had spectacular views from the air

[@jo.frmdmv]

17:22 nice view of Empire State Building

[@SydneyCarton-sf3mq]

Great video, AK. NY's size and density are simply unparalleled among first-world cities. With the new supertowers at 175, 270, and 350 Park, it will be even more amazing in a few years. Also, the huge hills and ocean are stunning.

[@geoffreybeslity2010]

I lived in NYC for 65 years. But I always learn something new from your videos. I loved the Jersey shore views.

[@erikstillman3553]

Gee thanks for reminding me of my first trip to New York state. First half of the week I spent time near Massena NY and had only one beautiful day. The rest of the time was very Britain spring type weather. Then spent the last half of the week in Manhattan (NYC) and had more of the same crumby England type weather so I didn't do much out door stuff. Of course it was a bright, clear and beautiful Monday morning on my flight home out of LaGuardia.

[@janestewart8272]

Amazing video. I'm from New Zealand and visited NYC 8 years ago. Just the most incredible place and wonderful experience. At the time I was living in HK so we flew 17 hours across to JFK. Didn't have these sorts of views over Manhattan but it's great to be able to watch videos like this and be able to recognise all the iconic landmarks and have an appreciation of the layout of the city. Thanks!

[@rajeevk.pathak771]

Excellent panoramic views of NYC and the surrounding area. So thickly populated...! Thanks for pointing out the landmarks ! Superb perspectives !

[@philip6431]

Awesome! We'll be on a flight from LGA to FLL soon!!

[@deanbush]

Welcome back to Miami, ActionKid!! It's always nice to have you in Miami, especially during the Miami International Boat and Yacht Show. I enjoyed this video!

[@michaelchin3550]

Just saw his preview of the International Boat show yesterday. Looking forward to more.

[@MsKleinlaut]

Thanks for the video and commentary. Haven't been to NYC for 50 years. Time for a visit.

[@FloridaFlipFlops]

3:52 Cool to see the wings flapping. 14:15 That was an extremely smooth takeoff! It was neat to see the spectacular views of NYC and listen to your narration once again! 😍🗽 Glad you got a window seat on the left side again, and thank you for sharing this aerial tour, AK! 🤗🛫

[@josesantos-po2fh]

Spectacular views !

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome! It was so nice to experience this flight out of LGA with the great views of NYC!

[@sirenofmillhill]

Very much enjoyed a real New Yorker pointing out what we're seeing. Thank you! And man, those "supertalls" are just fascinating!

[@jezcuffy]

I enjoyed that immensely, such a delight to get to see from above.

[@SimplyDeeBeauty]

Enjoyed it very much. The weather was perfect so we got to see so much. I hope I get those views when I go back to NYC

[@OSTARAEB4]

I believe where you thought was Atlantic City is still South of where you were. It’s the start of the Intracoastal Barnegat Bay. Great hook vector and New York City views! There’s nothing like it.

[@datelineyesterday5395]

You never disappoint AK!

[@just_cade]

No one can deny how beautiful it is from this vantage. To think that humans once relied on stone tools for survival but now we build massive cities like New York out of steel and glass and concrete, it’s really amazing.

[@DiscoverHudsonValley]

Nice one man! I'm actually taking a flight from LGA myself tomorrow evening and was thinking about filming the takeoff. Love the view of Central Park from up there! This was a fun one. Cheers!

[@ActionKid]

Very nice! Now you know what to expect

[@christinecamley]

Spectacular!! I love the take off on fights!! Fabulous video AK!!

Wow I've always wanted to see an Ariel view of New York, it gave me a much better understanding of how one area relates to another, thank you much.

[@ActionKid]

Very good! Glad you found this video informative

[@RichardTetta]

As a former Astoria resident, love this view, thanks! you don't seem to get many videos of the runway 31 takeoff

[@LouGrant999]

Superb eagle-eye views and narration of the City and shoreline. Hopefully no Balloons on your journey South! ;)

[@tmondaro1]

AWESOME !!

[@louisetregomorgan4907]

Fantastic view of Astoria , Queens , Central Park etc. Now that's a birds eye view of the big 🍎.

[@christinenapoli5106]

You sure do get great videos & know the locale of every neighborhood, even from the sky. The buildings look so amazing. Now I’m seeing u in Miami w James & Karla. You guys are the best! Oh….& Hudson of course. 😊

[@anthonycalandra3833]

Beautiful Views. Yes, what you thought was Atlantic City, was Seaside Heights. And after the inlet starts Long Beach Island. AC is still about 50 miles south of Seaside, after the next inlet..

[@johnlennon1049]

Always enjoy your videos. Very happy for you that you left Astoria Queens and moved to Florida. I am retired and can move to Florida myself but with two beautiful twin two year old girls that are only 2 miles away, it woebegone very hard for me to leave them even for a month or so.

[@sampowellmusic]

[@thomashinds3894]

Outstanding been to n y now never been

[@eelb53]

The runway numbers are based on compass heading. With 360 degrees in a circle, and the numbers rounded off to the nearest zero, Them the zero is dropped, resulting in either a one or two digit runway number. They are referred to as runway headings, not angles.

[@mrMankx]

nice video!

[@boazvahalla]

I remember my Trip from La Guaidia to Miami. It was about 19 degrees at 5 A.M. by the time we got to Miami, it was 88 degrees in March. My friend who visited Panama City ,Panama Said is so similar to Miami. We stayed at Sunny Isles. Is kind of an exclusive Brighton Beach with a Flair Of Coral Gables.

[@dissidentfairy4264]

I loved the flight over Manhattan and the great expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. Have a safe trip Action Kid. You are probably there by now. I overslept:-)

Please don't say runway thirteen (or thirty-one for that matter). It's runway one three and runway three one. Apart from that, it's amazing you identified Silver Lake Park on Staten Island. How you could know such an out of the way park only locals should be aware of is amazing. That is why you are the king.

[@Zickcermacity]

24:57 Seaside Heights

Hello AK, have a present flights ✈️....

[@Widda68]

I always love taking off from Runway 13 and as you're headed southward you travel the entire length of Manhattan. Then beautiful shots of New York harbor. Ellis island, Liberty island, governors Island. And then as you proceed you can see the Verrazano bridge connecting Brooklyn with Staten Island. Great trip.

[@AdrenalineLegends]

was it a neo? The winglets look neo-like

I guess they let people have electronic devices on these days during this point of the flight. Haven't flown since the mid 00's.

[@robertgambling502]

As long as devices don't emit any frequencies, Cameras are OK. Cell phones have what is called "Airplane Mode".

[@elizabethdiaz5434]

[@frankgrimesification]

Don't know what you mean by "angle" of runway. The runway numbers are the direction the runway is heading based on magnetic north.
