Skyline FLIGHT ✈︎ The BEST NYC Tour | 3 Countries in 3 Weeks: PART 7

[@davidbaird5985]

I sit here on a Sunday afternoon, while the rain is pouring outside, and my mouth hanging open in awe of the beauty the camera has reflected to my screen. Thanks for one of the most breath taking flights you have every taken me on.

[@Aviation101]

That’s so great to hear. Thank you for that. 🙌🏼 Pouring here too!

[@s35bonanzapilot84]

@@Aviation101 Josh, your videos are always top notch. Both you and Chelsea handle everything with great coordination and both truly enjoy what you do. Was going back through a bunch of your videos I had not viewed and saw that both you and Chelsea spent some time with Jason at Rebuild Rescue. I have to say I was very disappointed in that. I've been an A&P since 1979 and IA in 1981 and all I can say is that operation is a major accident waiting to happen. Seems that all he is concerned with is taking peoples money and stroking his ego. This is not a dig on either one of you, you both run a top notch, highly respectable, channel and hope to keep watching for many years to come.

[@NathanBallardSaferFlying]

Fantastic on all fronts - cinematography, flying, story-telling, adventure! Awesome!

[@Aviation101]

More to come soon! Part 8 in the works.

[@Calebs_Aviation]

Great video Josh! Wow! I loved it I cannot wait to fly my C172 over the NYC Skyline! 😁 🤩 Cheers 🥂

[@FlyingEyesWorld]

'BEST' is underselling this tour and flight. Simply amazing

[@lisaraymond6766]

Josh your videos back from 2017 actually inspired me to get my license at the age of 18. Your content is just unreal. U have real talent!! Keep ‘em coming

[@JoseRivera-lt2cc]

Always, thanks for the "ride". Front row seats never disappoint. Plus, good friends & hosts are a treasure who truly appreciated.

[@stephencaudle1766]

This has to be the best looking aviation video I've ever seen.

[@loganfowler7417]

As a backseat aviator I can't understand how your channel isn't so much more popular among the non-pilot minded. Everything is absolutely fascinating and breathtaking. Thank you so much for taking the time spending the energy required to share these experiences with us!

[@jimcook6682]

Watched the video of you and Renaldo but this was so much better at night. Thank you so muchJosh.

[@TeeDeeCommunications]

Thank you Josh and Chelsea for sharing another beautiful part of your trip 😊 New York was just stunning - I enjoyed every bit of that video - thanks 👍✅😁 TD

[@Aviation101]

I’m glad you liked it - this was such a memorable time.

[@thomasearly1842]

I REALLY look over growing up here! Its so cool seeing people tour NYC and how amazed they are about the place I call home

[@bigalsplanesimplegarage4288]

so cool, thanks for sharing!

[@libertyvilleguy2903]

You are tremendously fortunate to have friends like that to show you the city. Without such guidance, it’s overwhelming and hard to digest.

[@ravagetalon]

My old stomping ground. NYC and NJ will always be my home.

[@JenniferinIllinois]

That circling of the Statue of Liberty and nights shots of NYC. Gorgeous!!!!

[@TheBestWill]

Josh, as a fellow (a) pilot (Commercial SEL), who sold his Diamond DA-40 last November and is now plane-less, (b) KZbinr, with my channel started in January '23, and (c) photographer, AND as a long-time NYC resident, I wanted to tell you that your videos are so unbelievably good that I'm in awe. I know how hard it is to make them, and really appreciate what you do. More than one has brought tears to me eyes, and this NYC video was one. I flew round-trip cross country in 2021 and again in 2022 in the Diamond, and it was fun seeing many of the same sights that you showed first in your videos over the same areas, particularly Page, AZ and the Grand Canyon. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@speedball10169]

The efficiency in which B&H operates is truly mind boggling. It's definitely worth seeing in person for any electronics nerd. It's amazing

[@Shaneodell35]

Thank you so much for sharing this video! Pure Joy!!😀

[@abaird1234]

Breathtaking evening and night flight of the NYC skyline. I'll be watchig this one again and again I think !

[@skyepilotte11]

New York is beautiful at night...with great friends. Awesome video.

[@melintexas4506]

I’m speechless! Absolutely incredible footage. Thanks for sharing.

[@MarionBlair]

Wow! Thanks for the beautiful tour of NYC!

[@jamesodowd4063]

this is genuinely the most beautiful aviation video ive ever seen

[@hankharty9673]

Juliana and Bruno are the BEST tour guides!

[@Aviation101]

Indeed!

[@davidklassen2805]

Thank you so much for capturing views like these and sharing them with us!

[@bodriver9719]

WOW! Just, wow! Next to the Alaskan footage, this is unbelievable. Thanks for the ride along.

[@rickewart5089]

Great video Josh. Before moving to the Miami area, I lived in New Jersey. One of my favorite places to take people flying was the Hudson River VFR Corridor. Truly an amazing experience that many people never get to enjoy. One such flight was on a Sunday evening, September 9th, 2001. As we flew by the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, my passengers remarked that it was so awesome to see that the tops of those Buildings were about one hundred feet higher than our altitude. Little did we know, those Magnificent Structures would be destroyed two days later.

[@dangreen3702]

This might be your best video yet! Beautiful.

[@jamest7551]

Absolutely beautiful video Josh! Thanks for letting us ride along with you. Love your videos as always and I look forward to your next adventure to Kitty Hawk, N.C.!

[@michaeljohn8905]

This is my old stomping grounds. I live in the ATL and I’m now a pilot and apprentice A&P so to see this it’s something I can’t wait to do one day. Gosh it looked so beautiful! Thank you guys n gals !

[@gtr1952]

I still get tears in my eyes seeing the site of the WTC, I don't think that will ever stop. I took my only tour of NYC while on an 8th grade school trip in the 1960's. I've been back several dozen times on a tour bus or jet, playing a gig for ~6 hours then out and on to the next one. I look forward to just seeing the city some day. Thanks much you guys!! BTW, how is your 'kitty' doing?? Peace --gary

[@Luedtker]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! As you told there are hardly words to describe such an experience! Even through a 7“ screen in fare away Europe it was incredible! I really hope you‘d enjoyed it even though you were the PIC! THX for sharing and all the best for you, your family and friends! Greetings from Germany👋🤙!

[@moiscotv]

Bruno and I both trained at the same flight school at the same time. Used to chat with him here and there, and he was always a very nice fella. So glad to see him create a following as well as doing a collaboration with you. This was very cool to see!

[@jjbailey3972]

Incredible video! Thanks for the up close and personal tour of New York City.

[@farayidarlingtonchaparadza20]

Absolutely breathtaking views. I had almost forgotten how stable and enchanting night flights can be.

[@NightWolf310]

i agree

[@marktorrisi1754]

I follow both you and Bruno and I’ve watched his Hudson videos before. Definitely on my bucket list!

[@jonathanlevesque2165]

Incredible work! One of the best aviation videos I’ve ever watched.

[@flyerbluedog]

Amazing! So beautiful... Thank you, Josh and Chelsea, Bruno and Juliana! Since everybody is sounding off, Private Pilot VFR, SEL, a license I got at American Flyers in Fort Lauderdale, FL, at Ft Lauderdale Executive back in 1993. Remember those helicopter footage of famous cities and sites from all over the world that were popular back in the 90s? These are what your flights feel like. Extremely professional, great commentary, appropriate music... Amazing! I’m going to show this to my Mom who’ll be 89 in August, I’m sure she’ll be just as amazed as I am, as we all are! Congratulations and Thank You! So many thanks...

[@rabh6746]

That was just breathtaking👌You captured the city at the perfect time, just jaw droppingly beautiful👌

[@danaskubic2145]

Excellent video as usual Josh, love the skyline views and the Statue of Liberty.Thanks for sharing.

[@redtailpilot]

Awesome video! My first flight lesson was from Teterboro airport - KTEB down the Hudson and back (1998) and I was hooked. I've flown this flight a dozen times since getting my PPL and it amazes me every time! Only circled the lady once, 800'. Fun fact, the first pilot to orbit the Staue of Liberty was Wilbur Wright! October, 1909. With a red canoe mounted underneath his airplane (a modification that made it a floatplane), he took off from Governor's Island and circled at 200 ft. just up to her waist. Left turn and landed back on Governor's Island. A few years ago, I flew down to the Wright Brothers museum, thoroughly enjoyed it and flew back that night. What an incredible experience! When you make the trip, be advised, there are no fueling facilities at the airport and night departures and arrivals are prohibited. I took off just before sunset 😅

[@brucegruenbaum]

When I got my license at KASH in December 2004, I asked my instructor if he would fly the Hudson River Corridor with me. I grew up in South Africa and flew that route on MS Flight Simulator hundreds of times so it was a real bucket-list item. We joined the Hudson at Poughkeepsie and flew all the way down and around the SoL 5 times. I had to fly it, but I wanted to get pics, so my instructor took the plane for 3 turns. It ended up being so much more than I ever imagined, and watching your video was like reliving it again. Brilliant video! Thank you so much!😊

[@redtailpilot]

Five times...wow! I circled her one time and Wilbur circled her twice. We both were flying solo. 😂 Speaking of bucket-list items and FSX. Two years ago, I took a mountain flying course in Colorado and landed at Telluride (KTEX) in the Rocky Mountains! What an amazing flight! I learned about KTEX from a mission in FSX.

[@brucegruenbaum]

@@redtailpilot I haven’t flown in a few years because of a medical issue a while back. I live in Washington State and can’t wait to get current again. I really want to do some mountain flying, but I need someone to do it with.

[@redtailpilot]

@@brucegruenbaum I hope you get the opportunity to do so. It's very educational and rewarding experience when you have a local CFI to teach you. I just called the airport one day and asked around and they gave me a few numbers of local CFIs. I learned a lot of fine details that I hadn't been exposed to on the east coast, at sea level airfields. Such as how much more takeoff distance you need. I started to rotate early (which felt normal) and he reminded me that I needed to gain airspeed, which required a longer than normal ground roll. Awesome experience flying in the mountains!

[@daleashworth9046]

Mesmerizing views! Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@340VolPilot]

Sooo very cool. You're right. I think he has done that a time or two. Great job putting all of this together.

[@sleclerc]

Absolutely stunning video Josh! As someone who lives in the NY tri-state area my whole life I know that river tour very well, but your visuals are possibly the best I’ve ever seen. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@charliedickey2912]

Probably the best video I’ve seen on your channel and I’ve seen them all. Great job guys & thanks . 👍👍

[@TheRenegadeAV8R]

That was a magical flight, from my point of view. I can't imagine what it was like actually being there. Fantastic video Josh, thank you for posting, it was amazing.

[@rondogwil]

Oh how I envy you two. What an amazing video. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Be safe!

[@larryjones5232]

From the snowy mountains and canyons of Alaska to the Steel mountains of New York... Simply amazing.

This may be your best video yet... just amazing work.

[@cliffwallace5521]

Loved this one for sure. What a beautiful night for a flight like that.

What an incredible video and series!! Keep it up Josh and Chelsea!

[@jeremystrout23]

Absolutely breathtaking! Thank you for sharing.

[@aheroux23]

Amazing, it is flights like this that I got my ppl for. I look forward to flying it someday. Thanks for sharing!

[@rorygielarowski8972]

Never been close to New York City! I was born and raised in Alaska! To see the World Trade Center site, and that Spectacular Lady that Hold our shoreline true! What a View! Thanks! Your Video brought me to tears! Central Park! Really! Again! Thanks

[@kevinphillips9408]

Stunning video. Thank you all.

[@PRiver-sv2mc]

Thank you SO much for this special gift. Godspeed!

[@baron1405]

Thanks for a fabulous aerial tour of my home town. I was born and raised in Manhattan and left at 18 to attend college in California where I now live. Once a New Yorker, always a New Yorker and there is definitely a deep, rich New York state of mind. I was nearly in tears by the beauty you captured of my city and the essence that makes it so special to me and to millions of others. Peace and thanks.

[@jochentreitel7397]

That was one nice trip - thanks for sharing. Definitely a bucket list item since I’m on a different continent.

[@roxiworldny]

Incredible video. Brought back lots of memories for me. I used to live in Jersey City and did my instrument rating in Caldwell after a 14 year hiatus from flying. The most amazinf airspace ever. Makes me want to return and fly the corridor again. Thanks for great content!!

[@chuckmortensen6327]

Thank you guys for some amazing views. My daughter had her first job in New York City, and now I can appreciate how she feels a little better.

[@reyesben]

The best….I live 100 miles north and have yet to do this. Bruno makes it look so easy. I think I’m ready! Still need to take the online course

[@TheDamian418]

That was amazing. Breathtaking. Thank you for sharing!

[@mikebrown9146]

So love yout videos and descriptions of your trips! When you were flying over Buffalo, you were flying over where I was born...a loooooooooooooooong time ago! Continued safe adventures! Love your content and your sharing of your adventures!

[@PilotDiggerdavid]

What an awesome video! I just got to know Bruno and Juliana during our recent training for Cherokees to Oshkosh! Such great people!

[@nicholasosborn4464]

This Video is Awesome.. 80991 looks like a smooth flying plane you guys have taken very good care of it..

[@williamoddo9199]

Gene Simons elbowed me looking to be noticed at the Plaza Sunday Brunch a few years back…great views of one of the most beautiful skylines in the world!

[@75Seneca2]

Absolutely stunning imagery of the city Josh. Nicely done! What a great trip!

[@prestonmiller9552]

Josh, this is by far one of the best videos ever made by you or anyone for that matter. Well done by a fellow Texan.

[@moerudyk790]

I have been t NYC a few times! But never seen it at night from the air! Thank you so much , really enjoy you flight! Love following your channel!

[@jackthompson8560]

Outstanding. I worked on some of the steel for the new world trade center and the Bridge Garden. Bruno is a nice guy.

[@manuelgarces1014]

Your videos never cease to amaze me. Thank you for taking us along. You inspire me to check off bucket list items and to add new ones to it. Oshkosh was one that got checked off last year (got to meet you as an added bonus), Bahamas, Hudson River corridor are just a few on my list. Safe travels!

[@Aviation101]

Fantastic! Never stop checking those off. 🤘🏼

[@dennisnbrown]

Good one guys!! My wife and I have documented many flights over beautiful views but we sat here in amazement at the beauty of your tour and decided that is on our bucket list. I really enjoyed Bruno and his wife as well. I got to to hang and enjoy a few beers with him at OSH a couple years ago. Great guy. Thanks again.

[@russellfredric2509]

Stunning videography supported by great narration. Kudos!

[@dabenger]

Outstanding video, Josh. Long time fan, never expected to see my house on your channel (just beside the Verrazzano Bridge). I love taking people along the Hudson corridor. One of my favorite ways to use my Pilot's license.

[@jimmykingsborough6549]

Awesome ...One of the best videos I have seen. I hope to do that flight a some point in time. It was great to see how it should be done along the corridor with your tour guide.

[@flyhigh02205]

I have seen this video 24 times well 25 times now - amazing seen two of my most favorite youtuber

[@tjwilliams7246]

Josh, OMG, !!! These views and your editing have captured NY better then I have ever seen. ! This is just an amazing job, incredible views! Great job with this one. I am going up to RI in a couple of weeks and was looking at the info for the Hudson, just a few days before this video came out. wow. You all shared it in a way that the real thing may not be as good. You picked the perfect time of day and obviously, the best day to not have to dodge all the others. Again, great job, looking forward to the next part. Keep sharing and encouraging people. I agree with you, there are views out there, just hope people will look up and see them. Take Care

[@jhmcglynn]

My bride and I have been married 28 years. One of our early dates was the Statue of Liberty tour from my 1967 Cessna cardinal. I live in Southport North Carolina now, but my house the skyline of New York City changed. Beautiful tour.

[@michaelazzollini5698]

wonderful video…….I’ve flown the City tour many times, but your video is absolutely amazing and really does capture the experience and awe of flying around NYC. We should all be thankful for the freedom that in this day and age, we can still fly this route. It’s been said that flying the City tour is the second best thing that you do in your lifetime, - and its the first best thing you can do with your clothes on ..😂

[@Aviation101]

😂 I’m glad you liked it!!

[@PapaRonDeering]

you are going to love Kitty Hawk and the outer banks... my wife's family live in Elizabeth City and they are going there in a couple of weeks... thanks for sharing this with all of us

[@theflyingplumber]

I grew up in Jackson Heights, located in Queens and got my flight training at TEB. The Hudson corridor was a common route to go South and come North from the South due to the TCA back then and now the Class B. Looking down at the city never got old. Especially at night. What always blew me away was flying lower than the Twin Towers known as the Trade Center and looking up at people in the restaurant, known as windows of the world. They were so close that you can see them waving, which would catch me off guard, not at first aware there was an audience, as I would be trying to locate the airport amongst the bright lights and reporting the Twin White Tanks to TEB for landing. I would rock my wings back at the people in the restaurant and it was amazing how excited they were to know that I reacted to them. It was like being on a stage and I was there to give them a show. Growing up in the boroughs on NYC, I took everything there for granted. But as a pilot that flew all the time in the airspace and to many other amazing places that only as a pilot could experience, I thank God for giving me the ability to see things from a perspective that only a very small percentage of the population can ever do. It never gets old, as I find out watching your video.

[@redtailpilot]

TEB was such an incredible place to learn to fly. You had to be on your game in such busy airspace! My first GA flight was TEB Hudson southbound, VZ, Coney Island, Hudson Northbound, TEB. I was hooked. Did that flight twice, then took lessons and didn't visit the corridor again until after getting my PPL a year later. Like you, I always enjoyed flying past the Twin Towers at a thousand feet (below them). I made that flight several times, but never saw people. I guess I was too laser focused on traffic to notice, lol. Right after getting my PPL in '99, I took my two young daughters on that flight and as we paseed the towers, my older girl snapped a picture of them that I charish to this day! My younger girl was sleeping in the back seat, lol. The views of NYC from the air never gets old! In fact, it's my favorite thing about that place (and I don't have many) 🤣 Speaking of the WTC, I remember being up on one of the higher floors (years before becoming a pilot) and seeing the small planes and helicopters flying pass below me. I sure miss those towers! RIP to all who lost their lives as a result of that horrific day.

[@jamesjeffrey5458]

That’s amazing footage! So awesome mate! Love your videos from Australia 🇦🇺

[@jetdoctn]

Josh this was one of your best videos yet, absolutely incredible. Have always wanted to visit New York City, certainly no desire to live there but will keep your friends name handy for a possible tour guide when I get the chance.

[@kiltedpiper98]

Wow, just wow. Probably your best video yet.

[@eugeneweaver3199]

Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for your time and effort. I watch Bruno's videos religiously, just like yours! 😍 Looking forward to #8!

[@Aviation101]

Awesome! Thanks so much

[@dolhOfficial]

Wonderful views, Josh and Chelsea. Feel really close to this video as myself and my family just visited NY at the end of April and walked the same places you, Chelsea, Bruno and Juliana visited. Also rode the same train from NJ. Bought at B&H replacement AirPods after loosing my old set in LA. We did not fly over the City though. Thank you again for such a great video. 🇦🇺 🦘 🇸🇻

[@jonathantucker923]

Such beautiful scenery. We definitely wouldn’t be allowed to fly a route like this in the UK. We aren’t allowed to fly over London in a single engine aircraft 🤷🏻‍♂️ You films are one of the reasons I got back into flying after a 20 year break so thank you

[@markmaccani9411]

Great job on the video Josh. Nice to see you guys out enjoying life. I am behind on all videos as I spent the month of June driving to and spending in Sitka, AK with my wife. One day maybe I'll have to fly the Archer up but that's for another trip.

[@danmcbride6258]

I am a Fan that has followed you on this EPIC journey crossing into Sault Ste Marie , where I lived and worked at the Airport (YAM), to Collingwood and down to Billy Bishop. I am happy you visited Canada and had good weather on your trip. The Trip to NYC was memorable. I loved the tour and sites. I am a New York Ranger Fan and appreciate the glimpses of the Garden from the Air! Enjoy your stay and will pick you up on the backside of your trip to the Carolinas.
