@@GuadalupePicasso I agree. When watching those elephant sanctuary videos, they really are better when hearing all of the weird and interesting sounds the phants are making, I don't want it drowned out by music. Don't get me wrong, I love music. But If I want to hear music, I'll watch a KZbin video that's specifically for music, not for a non-music related topic which has music playing over it

[@DYogendraRao]

Well, it's a private jet.

[@cascade5682]

It's the CITYBUZZ approach

[@whetedge]

@Ronald Mcdonald Yeah, I've seen, that approach many times. It's the set up for that approach I hadn't seen before; coming in over LGA and across Manhattan at Central Park, then a left turn over the Hudson. Great close up views of the city.

[@ultrametric9317]

To avoid conflict with Kennedy and Newark, the approach to LaGuardia often amounts to a descending spiral over the city and a final base turn that is much like landing on an aircraft carrier! For that reason pilots sometimes call the airport the USS LaGuardia :) In this example you can see Citi Field and the tennis complex at the very beginning and then again at the end - first from about 5,000 feet and then from a few hundred feet on final approach. Really fantastic!! So many famous landmarks are visible!

Cool facts, thanks for the comment.

[@petersurapine6725]

[@jadyphan5892]

Awesome observation and thanks for the comment. Interesting indeed.

[@alvexok5523]

@@petersurapine6725, yes, that's right. It's a great view of it. That world's fair's heyday was in the 1930s, and it remains a historical landmark not to be tampered with.

[@alvexok5523]

@, we didn't circle all the way around Manhattan like this when I was on a flight approaching LGA, but that was also back in 1998. I remember us decending towards Manhattan while heading northbound, first over Staten island, then got a good view of the Statue of liberty, then over the lower East river seeing the banks of lower Manhattan (got a good look at the still existing twin towers), then over the Brooklyn bridge while merging northeast and then seeing the East river, Roosevelt island, and a good view of the Manhattan Midtown skyline while over Queens, and then the last part of the descent was quite similar to this video, I recall. Made a sharp left and saw Flushing Meadows, the World's fair, and the stadium. We didn't do the full circle over Manhattan like in this video, kind of wish we did.

[@Xman156]

I've seen a lot of LGA landing videos on KZbin, but this one was by far the best one!

[@rajeevk.pathak771]

[@DannyEastVillage]

I've lived here and flown in and out for almost 40 years. I STILL get that rush seeing Manhattan when coming into LGA. There's nothing like New York--nothing.

[@michaelgoodroe792]

Awesome approach! You couldn't ask for a better tour of NY City, Wow!

[@alvexok5523]

Right it is. They also have helicopter rides circling around Manhattan for tourists. The heliport is on the East river in Lower Manhattan (I'm explaining this, of course, to non-native New Yorkers who may not already know). I just think that there's no point in wasting your money on the helicopter if you got a window seat while circling Manhattan upon landing. Sometimes with heavy traffic backup, you may circle more than once.

[@lorentzarmstrong3008]

Wow! The folks on the left side of the plane got the money shot approach into LGA! Awesome!

[@christschool]

I've flown into Lagaurdia one time and the only time I visited NYC. I've been to some big cities in the US, but they didn't prepare me for just how big NYC is. Even the buildings that appear small are 20+ stories. It simply is a massive city and every American should visit it at least once in their lives.

[@62beachbum]

I agree with you. I have visited NYC a bunch of times, and there really is no city quite like it. It just buzzes with energy. It is a wonderful place to visit.

[@christschool]

@TheMadScotsman mckay I've been to London and flew into Heathrow. From the air, it is in no way comparable to NYC in terms of perception, though London, area wise like you say is larger, they just don't have as many skyscrapers.

I was on a very similar approach to LGA last July, except we went a little further south and west so we got a good view of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Plus it was about 8:00 so the sun was setting and there was a beautiful golden glow on everything. It was spectacular.

@D'Afrique Rousseau Tbh I'm sad they wanted to call it that. Nothing's more invigorating than naming what comes out of the fallen building, The Freedom Tower. And it has a height of 1776 feet. I'm still going to call it that, it's our freedom.

[@moriver3857]

This approach is called Runway 31 Expressway visual. The left tun at the stadiums is where the fun starts. Beautiful indeed. This must have been a DC9, or B717. Distance between wing and engine is too short to be an MD80, but for the quiet engines, my money is on B717. Yes, the people on the right side missed out, except for the trip down the Hudson river. NJ on one side and NYC on the other. Great memories.

That was a lot of things, but surely not the Expressway Visual 31 approach. No Tanks. No right turn to follow the expressway.

[@stopandthink3479]

I fly into LaGuardia too much so I am familiar with that approach. That is the Expressway Visual Approach to RWY 31. But to get the grand tour of Manhattan the flight usually needs to be coming from the North or Northeast to enter the pattern that way. If you are coming from the South or West, you still get a good view of Manhattan, just not the grand tour. There was an approach from the South that used to take you up the Hudson river, North of the GWB and then circle to land RWY22, but they don't seem to fly that approach as much anymore. That approach was even more breathtaking.
