HELICOPTER RIDE in NEW YORK CITY ( NYC ) - 15 minutes - start to finish

[@BercowSandwich]

The craziest thing about this footage is how old it already is. It's not even 10 years old and yet this was filmed before the Hudson Yards was built, before Billionaire row's supertall skyscrapers were completed, before Brooklyn had a skyscraper construction boom and before the One World Trade Center was completed. Pretty cool to think about it

[@ElizabethWilson-ny7wi]

How time goes fast, this comment was 2 years ago and now this footage is officially 11 years old. ❤

This was the time I visited my only trip to NYC. Thanks for filming this.

Being from Chicago...i have to say, NYC is a very impressive looking city. The size of it is amazing.

Amazing since 1898 , when the surrounding counties and the city of Brooklyn were annexed. Skyline by 1920 when my father's father visited was already amazing.

Thank you

NYC & Chicago are my favorite cities. They really do have it all.

[@nowhere1725]

Wicked. I've just had the pleasure of a helicopter ride, seen the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Hudson River, various other landmarks all in the comfort of my living room. I didn't have to move, get cold, experiencing any waiting, spend any dosh and I could carry on drinking my tea whilst enjoying my free ride. Thanks, mate. Thoroughly enjoy these videos of the U.S.A. Much love from South London

[@onceuponatime-c2u]

I used to live in NJ, I remember going to Hoboken to watch fireworks above NYC skyline on the 4th of July. such a beautiful city.

[@DEZTINYization]

it is always my dream... to ride on a helicopter.... airplanes... as usually a poor person like me... gets it only in dreams... so watching in just a video like this... makes me experience that wow this is the feeling of flying... thank you uploader

sad to say im not my brother.. i came from a poor family and in a poor village somewhere in the philippines.. but im proud of it.. as you says that hope i can take the opportunity one day.. is one prayer... thank you for that brother

Ya, next step is a simulator. That´s still better than only watching this

[@joenguyenps]

Work hard and you'll get it. Flying in a helicopter ain't nothing like winning a friggin jackpot ;)!

[@tenzingh50]

Same here and it all depends on where you live and how much you earn... Well, I'm from Kathmandu and all the Nepalese people's dream is to go to USA and earn a money but somehow I'd never ever heard nor seen any Nepalese people enjoying the moment there by engaging in any adventurous activities but only working, working, working and only working and wasting there precious time of being a human but only as a working machine..... May be I too might be like 'em but hell no, I don't want to live like 'em>>

[@alangeorgebarstow]

I took the helicopter ride back in August 1983 and I also sat in the co-pilots seat for a full panoramic view and unsurpassed experience. My ride was far better than the one shown here though. The helicopter dropped to a lower level than this one did and we flew right around (very close) to the Statue of Liberty's torch. After passing the twin towers of the World Trade Centre, we progressed up the Hudson River and went inland, over Central Park, then approached the Empire State Building, again very close, at around halfway up its height. The helicopter then went into a slow vertical climb adjacent the tower before hovering directly above the mast. I remember looking down through the helicopter's floor window, between my legs, and seeing all the way down that fabulous building. We then returned to the heliport via the East River, passing closely over the Manhattan Bridge. It was a truly breathtaking experience.

[@randomlifts]

Sounds like more fun. More regulations these days :(

[@gary1961]

Can you recall how much you paid for the flight? My wife paid about $180 in 2016.

[@wingmanalive]

I was 46 years old before I stepped foot on a plane. It wasn't on my bucket list really. I saw all the videos and decided I didn't care. I loved the concept mind you but it wasn't that important to me. Then when it became a decision to drive 16 hours to visit my folks 1000 miles away as opposed to a 1 hour and 20 minute flight, I took the leap. Sure the delay and hassle in the airport today is a horrible experience. But, worth it. It saved me 2 days with my parents and a lot of aggravation in travel. You just have to get used to airport life!

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. All I can vision with that tour is congestion at the max. My dream is my home, a small country farm, the natural smells of my natural surroundings, watching the many animals that visit me daily, and the quietness, privacy and serenity of it all. You can have my share of all the crime, sirens, clamor, pushing and shoving, filthy air and the 50 different cultures you must accept in one way or the other.

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

16:20 what a gem of a view....seeing the Empire State building AND Chysler building not shadowed or outheighted by surrounding unimpressive towers. Sure the bank of america building was the first to draft the upper middle skyline of manhattan. Before that circa 2005-1990 time frame was when the city looked best in its gritty era. It looked most remarkable during the 1930's, no construction after 35...and so did those wonderful now hidden art deco penthouse towers jut out into the clouds back during that time, remarkable work put into each one from general electric to 70 Pine.

[@ballofwax9yards]
