My son works in Hudson Yards and travels frequently to JFK. An uber can take two hours or more. Blade is around 10 minutes. They do a great job.

[@sinfulldoubt]

Yeah the time savings are pretty awesome and it's not that much more than an Uber at times, especially if you get the blade membership

[@kishascape]

Uber has an air option that basically just leases rides from this.

[@leochen887]

I had radio tower projects around LA and I used helicopters to fly my crew and me from Oat Mountain to Red Mountain to Mt. Baldy.

[@bubz4196]

I was looking the other day an an uber to JFK from fidi was going to cost me 175 bucks. I think blades start at 350 or something to jfk. Was definitely considering it

[@yungrichnbroke5199]

[@stuartcrutchfield8880]

Excellent video. I fly a C206 and C182. Very cool watching helicopter operations. You did a very nice job of narrating. I will definitely watch more of your videos. Thanks!

[@sinfulldoubt]

Awesome! Thanks and glad you liked it

[@pilotsproject]

Dude! Can you pls. watch this video yourself - over and over again ... and then realise how BLESSED you are 🙂 I am a retired airline pilot who flew to JFK and Newark almost 3 times a month from Central Europe. On my layovers I would come to the piers and watch YOU guys hovering around and flyin'g in-and-out. While thinking "Man, THAT is the dream job that I would love to have pursued'"... I watched this video with my BT headset on 100% in volume, just LOVE that sound. Bless you, will watch ALL your upcoming videos. Thanks, man! ❤

[@DianneFurey-fh6ju]

They refer to the Hudson river as the hell-i-copter highway. It's literally overcrowded with these noisy menaces largely quarter of a century or older in age. Already been 5 deaths when one went down in the East River a few years ago. You're glorifying a noisy and filthy industry impacting many peoples lives. Hell-i-copter tourism is for tourists willing to take their lives in their hands.Ask those dead tourists if it was worth it.

[@rullf1985]

Thanks for taking us along. Been watching fixed wing pilot vlogs; nice to see a rotor head pilot vlogging.

[@sinfulldoubt]

Glad you enjoyed it. There's not many videos like this for the heli world

[@watermouse9296]

@@sinfulldoubt Keep uploading and we will come. Just found this channel - will sub now

[@JRJunior8624]

Quite possibly the best video I have ever seen for this sort of thing. Very interesting, very well done! Part II bring it on

[@sinfulldoubt]

Glad you liked it! I'm going to be working on part 2 tonight

[@denisuem]

Love this videos, thank you for all the hard work and studies to be a pilot, exited for the part 2. Keep aviation alive! BRBR

[@sinfulldoubt]

Thanks!

[@marcusmaximus451]

Absolutely superb and confident flying take care and kind regards to you, Mark from the U.K. 🇬🇧

[@sinfulldoubt]

Thanks! It was definitely fun flying out there

[@DParadise00]

Love all the details and checks that go into making your flight in a busy airspace look so simple.

[@sinfulldoubt]

It definitely keeps us busy but you develop a nice flow which helps. Their training there was the best I've ever received too

[@marquamfurniture]

Incredible video. My best flight ever! ........great job of explanations and captioning

[@jdaniel3068]

This is just mesmerizing and fascinating. Thanks!

[@scottashe8463]

Awesome video being a flying buff, I enjoyed it very much. Happy Flying.

[@tamgaming9861]

That was awesome to watch ... mega awesome ... thanks for sharing it!!!

[@mikem5043]

Fun ride along. Single pilot flying is always the most rewarding, challenging and fun!

[@sky173]

Awesome video and very educational. Love to see more like it. Thanks for sharing.

[@sinfulldoubt]

No problem, glad you enjoyed it

[@brendendas]

You've inspired me to fly this route on FS2020, going to do that now. Also smooth flying.

[@cgriebel1]

Earned yourself a sub on this one. Bumped into this vid on my feed and had to tune in. I worked in Midtown for 20 years and always wondered about these routes and how it worked. Cool.

[@DallasOwens]

AWESOME video, thank you for sharing!

[@airblair_mtb]

You have to do a separate recording of you talking to call tower and add a voice overlay to the video. Love watching your videos, and as a former helicopter pilot, one of the coolest things is hearing the pilot talk to the call tower! Thanks for bringing back great memories as a helicopter pilot… keep them coming…

[@sinfulldoubt]

Yeah I'm gonna try again soon

[@danmorand3658]

Nice series, showing all the details involved with getting the flights done. Hope to see more!

[@sinfulldoubt]

Thanks! I may have enough footage to do a small video of flying LIDAR on power lines

[@dlxo]

cool to see this perspective, right across the way from the hangar was my old job Haddads inc. from 2013-2017! seen you guys at work before the second hangar was constructed, those heli would shake our building all day long what a time!

[@lj3992]

Super cool thxs for sharing

[@matthewpayne42]

Another awesome and interesting video from you. Thanks and keep them coming soon. 👍

[@sinfulldoubt]

Thanks!

[@stephenwheeler8628]

This is a great video! I've been trying to find a video just like this for a while. It's making me miss my time flying for Liberty a while back (from LDJ).

[@sinfulldoubt]

Awesome! I definitely miss it. I'm thinking about applying for ZIP if I don't hear back from some of these other jobs soon

[@B1970T]

You’re so smooth with that beast. Nice vid!

[@chrisbarnes2823]

Great video of the start up procedure.

[@ghostpeel]

One of the coolest jobs in the world. Thanks for sharing!

[@victormwenda4906]

wow, absolutely love this

[@sinfulldoubt]

Thanks!

[@SuprattPilot]

Awesome video. I always drive past this heliport on my way to jersey city and it always looks cool with all the helicopters around. I also probably have heard you on the radio a bunch of times. I fly out of 3n6 and my home airport shares the CTAF frequency with JRA so I’m always hearing the helicopters inbound to their assigned spots. Cool to see it happening.

[@sinfulldoubt]

Small world! Part 2 should be up soon if you wanna watch more

[@tomsimmonds3803]

Supper informative and well put together for the layman, thanks. 👍🚁

[@sinfulldoubt]

No problem, glad you enjoyed it

Perfect view from the 407, please keep posting!

[@OldDogZeroTricks]

Lovely takeoff, flight and landing. Very smooth.

[@sinfulldoubt]

Thanks!

[@daddyc872]

Most people would say they would rather hear nothing then music

[@sinfulldoubt]

Yeah that's why I cut to just the video once it was time to fly

[@landgrenade]

@@sinfulldoubtI ain’t mad, the original song is one my favorite songs lol

[@sinfulldoubt]

@@landgrenade it's hard to find the music licenses for good songs too, so the selections are kinda slim

[@sailingeric]

Than!! Not then!!! than is used when you're talking about comparisons; then is used when you're talking about something relating to time

[@nygaardmt]

​@@landgrenadewhat song is it?

[@chiddy998]

I remember watching your tuna boat videos. They were great!! I'm looking forward to the coming videos 🙏

[@sinfulldoubt]

Thanks! I've got some New York footage still and some power line work as well that'll come later on

[@LicenseToTill]

[@brianwilson8119]

This is fascinating. What a cool job to have! I wish I would have known or thought about this type of career when Ii was joining the workforce.

[@sinfulldoubt]

Yeah most people just think of EMS, fire and police jobs when they think of helicopters. There's plenty of oddball jobs out there though that make this career a sweet adventure
