LA Helicopter Tour | 2020 Shutdown Vs 2021

[@FLG8r]

"the car guy?" ... awesome ... your voice resonates with the air traffic controllers; shows that they're attentive to details; keep flying safe

[@chldof1truekng434]

That was really cool having the air traffic controller acknowledge you. That interaction really made me smile and laugh.😆

[@sfrsteel]

I love these videos Micah. I think you should do one once every other month or so. It shows that there are normal people doing normal things in this country.

[@Budinky]

Once a month sounds like a good idea 👍 Loved watching these with my family last year 😊

[@sfrsteel]

@@Budinky me too as a big Disney fan it was cool to see the park from the air like that.

[@Budinky]

@@sfrsteel 😊 it’s really cool to to see all the places you hear about. Downtown is my favourite. Was surprised when he said that the viewership went down?! I wonder how difficult it would be to visit and fly over San Francisco? Just an idea Micah 🙂.

[@A_English_Gent]

I really like this sort of content that you do flyig over LA, love the coast flights that you do, hope to see you do more Micah.. all the best from the U.K

[@thmanx]

Great to see a recap of how things look now vs then. It’s still not back to the full slog of a 100% LA packed traffic day, but it’s definitely getting there.

[@lic2kil007]

Thx Micah. Idea pic of Queen Mary about around same time of day over time b4 it's gone, time lapse. All good no longer in AZ moved back to NC. Good bye heat.

[@YuriTereshyn]

That former pad ❤️

[@YuriTereshyn]

18:26 hello Micah!!

[@harshasathi2858]

Hello Yuri

[@MicahMuzio]

We gotta hit up the InterContinental whenever you guys can come back to LA. First drink is on me!

[@bluesky4385]

I love these video's of yours flying over the LA area. This one here was done very well and was very interesting. It's nice to see you with your family flying above LA. I think I heard you say there wasn't enough viewership of the video's I'm very surprised to hear that, because they are so unique to many of us. They are so well done and the majority of us, will never get to fly in a helicopter and see the sights so clearly. Thanks for the great ride. I watch these video's the moment I see them listed on KZbin.

[@jllen729]

The footage of LA at sunset was amazing, thanks for sharing!

[@edelaney80]

Great video I really missed these. It may be my only chance to see California in my lifetime.

[@DannChen]

I gotta say though, I miss pandemic traffic. When most everyone was staying home. Roads were clear. And all the ships out in the harbor, still just waiting to offload. Crazy. And, I was going to say that I thought the video looked great.

[@1977curt]

Missed these tour videos please keep them coming!

[@Danncoty]

Love seeing you and your family on helicopter trips. Come for the car reviews stay for the helicopter tours.

[@Mamo878]

Now we need a Muzio family Santa Monica West Coaster roller coaster and pier review video!

[@HexaSquirrel]

So cool! At 2:24 in the bottom left of the shot, you can see Relativity Space's, Terran 1 first stage on the test pad! Great video, Micah!

[@rickbooker]

BRAVO! Thank you Micah for the flight over the LA area. Missed those. :)

[@MicahMuzio]

Thanks for watching, Rick!

[@erockjam0810]

Love the air tours of LA! Would love to see more of So Cal and anywhere else you want to take us.

[@robertlandry5676]

Evie needs Flying Eyes. This was awesome! One of your best.🚁

[@MicahMuzio]

She actually had a pair but sadly lost them. Replacements coming soon!

[@CR4ZYHOR5E]

Love this sort of content Micah....your heli videos were really important during the lockdown, it felt like we were riding along with you. Best wishes from the U.K

[@MicahMuzio]

Always good to hear from my friends in the U.K. Take care!

[@420mulet]

keep them coming, loving the flying videos, this is the type of video that got me hooked to your channel in April last year. thank KZbin algorithm and thank you Micah for the great content!!

[@debcotton1746]

Same here!

[@scottoftheworld]

I've missed this type of video, where you tour LA, so it's great to see them back again. It's a shame that viewer numbers dropped off last time you were doing them as I would always watch them religiously - they helped keep me sane during lockdowns in the UK. Even though you're switching over to more family adventures now, I'm hoping that we'll have some more videos like this moving forward even if not as often as before. I'll definitely continue watching them... i've been to Southern California a few times so it's great to see it from a different perspective. Still working from home mostly, unfortunately, so spending a lot of time at home compared to normal. Not travelling as much as I used to either so am watching a lot of videos to compensate and to see the world :)

[@TheRangerBob]

Nice comparison of lockdown times to today. I enjoy your flights - living vicariously for this non-pilot. My grandson and I have flown in an R44 as passengers, nice machine. Share more non-LA flights with us.

[@MicahMuzio]

We definitely plan to explore beyond LA. Thanks for watching!

[@carynmcentee6725]

I live on the East coast, never been out in Cali and I find this really interesting

[@errhka]

Lol at ATC trying to get in the video XD

[@MicahMuzio]

And they succeeded!

[@AlleyKatt]

That was fun to watch, as always.

[@chrisryan3770]

I love these fly-overs! I’ve only been through LA once 21 years ago on my way to Morro Bay to join a ship I was working on. For a Brit like me these videos are great. You show the scenes of a thousand movies that we’re all so familiar with despite living on the East coast of Scotland. Thanks!

[@ralphwoodard609]

Another great chopper video Micah. I think you should try a quick landing on any one of those buildings in downtown LA. Also can you go down by some of the drainage channels and fly under the bridges down the channel would be a really, really neat thing to do. Whether that’s legal or not, who knows

[@citibear57]

I always enjoy your city flyover videos. I have only been to LA once, and only seen a small part of it, but thanks to your incredible videos, I feel that I know LA a lot better. I must say that it is truly a beautiful city from the air. I love seeing the awesome architecture from above. It is even better to see the Muzio family together in your Robinson...a real family flight. Thanks Micah! Here's your high five 😄🤚

[@dorsal87]

Love the twirly bird tour videos.

[@CBloudoff]

Love all the LA fly overs. Up the coast and down. More more more!!

[@JamesHenry-o8m]

I enjoy watching this flyover of LA,especially seeing the Hollywood sign in all its glory 😊😊😊😊

[@vincedenimarck6498]

Enjoying your family Helicopter trips, Great entertainment Mike

[@JustinD253]

Glad to see another flying video. I could sit and watch these all day.

[@welmoepics]

The 2020 vs 2021 footage is night and day. Glad you documented these sights!

[@jonspoard8416]

Thank you for doing this flight, I was really hoping you did one of these again. It's these that got me hooked on this channel. During lockdown, you covered many of the things I requested which was so cool. You even flew over the Pomona fairgrounds (sorry if that was a boring request Evie :-) Many of us Brits love our trips to Cali and those videos kept our hopes up during lockdown although we still can't travel to the USA. Your daughter is so well-behaved and adorable btw. I do still love my T Shirt :-)

[@globalman]

Possibly you will not see this Micah but the reason many people might have stopped is that you stopped appearing on the feed of recommended. I have been subscribed since maybe Feb or March 2020 and was a faithful viewer. You saved my sanity and life especially during that first year of the pandemic. Am an expat New Yorker living abroad since the 1970's. I live in Germany now. Not just the fantastic views and scenery but your manner of sharing and just talking was like having a friend here during months of isolation. The interaction with different air traffic controllers was all part of an extraordinary experience. Also that you gave information so that curious people like me could actually learn something. I also love when we taxi and take off with you and land. It is a phenomenal experience. I thought I had the bell to all vids but with youtube and their ridiculous algorithms I am never sure what is working. I would never have abandoned you intentionally. I watched for most of 2020 and into 2021 but owing to personal life struggles I was not as often online. My notebook is growing old and I will never be able to replace it for financial reasons. Suddenly today I thought to myself what happened to Micah? So I searched and there you are. I must catch up with the videos I have missed. Have already watched 4 today. Great new flying machine and seeing your family. The little one has grown so much and pretty as a picture. The cheerfulness and energy from the three of you comes across and really lift my spirits. Thank you truly from the bottom of my heart. When life and the state of the world seem nearly hopeless your wonderful spirit and videos remind one of good people and good things. Cheers and all the best. Take care all of you. Big hugs.

[@MicahMuzio]

I'm glad I did see your comment. Thanks for sharing such kindness. :) The KZbin algorithm has a knack for narrowing the focus of channels like mine. Some folks love our heli videos but a lot more seem to engage with our car videos. And so, the KZbin pushes the car videos. Obviously I adore flying and love sharing our adventures but knowing that the algorithm but to grow the channel we have to focus on cars. KZbin commands it! :) All that said, one way or another we'll still share helicopter videos. I'm just not sure about the best way to do it. Regardless, I truly appreciate your support. Cheers!

[@paulob7173]

Love your flying videos 👍 especially as I live in England so I enjoy tours of your local area

[@craigjames5150]

As a fellow pilot, I always look forward to your flying videos!

[@VirtousStoic]

Wow amazing video. Love how professional you talk to that controller team. You are like a jet fighter pilot. So coooooooooooooool!!!!

[@funtimelouie1828]

L A is the real Epcot ! Many cultures of the world have their community here ! Never a boring moment in L A !

[@Acc0rd79]

Don't know about KBB but UPS never stopped moving boxes last year, was actually like Christmas time most of the year because of it. No hiding in our homes saying we were scared to die, just moving boxes:) What I do miss is cruising though, we used to cruise 4 times a year and haven't since 2019 as we had 2 cancelled on us last year and we don't want to jump through hoops just to go on a cruise at this time. The positive note is that I bought my own plane last year and have been flying my family around the USA instead for vacations to all new theme parks we had never been to, even up to Wisconson for a Milwaukee Brewers baseball game and we had never been to Wisconsin before. Definitely ups and downs.

[@MicahMuzio]

Honestly, 2020 was the hardest I've worked in my life. KBB never stopped and this channel filled up every bit of spare time I'd had previously. Hi5 for powering through at UPS!

[@billschoe43]

God, I miss LA. Please more video of Los Angeles!!!

[@01FozzyS]

Nice! Been waiting for a video of this. Always enjoying the flying videos. Thanks for sharing,Micah and family!

[@ppgwhereeverett4412]

My 1971 VW Karmann Ghia had a license plate ring " CAUTION ! Wake Turbulence". Always got waves from AOPA members !

[@moesansome1511]

I absolutely love your fly over LA videos. Love seeing all the ships in the Harbours, nice to see that what we hear in the news is actually happening. Please please please keep doing theses. Also loved hearing the tower guy asking if your the KZbinr he watches. Mad respect brother. Shout out from northern Canada 🇨🇦

[@skipperZed]

Love the flying vids! They've been a great reminder of what I love about my old stomping grounds, without the traffic of course.

[@jimcabezola3051]

Mahalo for making these flying videos! I'm glad I can go back and watch them. These are now a time capsule from the early COVID era. I understand that these flights are very expensive for you. Please, don't bankrupt yourself to make these flights. Just enjoy the flights you want to enjoy with your family. It's so heartening to see you all there flying together and having a ball, though. Again, mahalo!

[@Spike643]

I saw my old home away from home, the Hill of Palos Verdes as you were coming into Rodondo Beach. I loved that area.

[@charleslinker2904]

I love your fly overs! I moved from El Segundo when I was young to northern California. I love seeing all the so cal footage, very cool!

[@nancytroast9297]

I love these fly-over videos! Please keep making them!!!

[@Joseph-rw6yg]

It was great to see a before and after video of LA. I sincerely miss the videos you made of SoCal as I watched each one. Too bad the viewership declined. Thanks again and having the family there was fun to watch .

[@rosskennedy2595]

Real nostalgia watching this. Been following since March 2020 and your videos helped me through lockdown. Visited LA in 2017 and hope to be back again someday. Thanks Micah, much appreciation from Scotland.

[@MicahMuzio]

Man, I am overdue to visit Scotland. Beautiful country you’ve got there. 👍

[@trevormorrison9784]

Great video. Looks like you and the family had a great time. Good to see you back flying.

[@lukekasper255]

Great to have this video back…Thanks !

[@malifestro3319]

It was wonderful when you did you flyovers a year ago! I am very happy to see things back to near normal, a new normal. Thanks for sharing!

[@Socaltrainwatcher]

Great to see the comparison flight of LA. I made several trips to LA, I live in San Diego, during the pandemic and it was definitely different, with no traffic. I was in LA a few weeks ago and its getting back to "normal" traffic everywhere. Thanks for taking the time to show LA from the air. I'm looking forward to seeing a Muzio family trip to San Diego. The apple pie trip was close to San Diego.

[@thenikonjones]

Honestly, these flights are how I found your channel. So...please keep doing these! :)

[@ashish_r]

I love these helicopter video tours. Would love it you could take us to more places around LA. Thank you Micah!

[@IntegraDIY]

Yes! Been waiting for this

[@jenniferkohl3321]

Yes!!!! More LA flyovers please !!!

[@rodneyking4183]

I totally forgot to watch this video! I am so sorry. I will watch it again. I have missed these and kinda stopped watching your channel. I am hoping you bring these back. I really like the side by side comparison to the 2020 videos. I watched all of those when they were happening and the main reason I subscribed to your channel. The new helicopter is awesome, and I am glad you got one to accommodate your entire family.

[@MrTeaStew]

I missed the tour videos. Glad to see the side by sides. Keep it safe.

[@briangill6222]

Great to see these trips again

[@ericlessner]

Great to have you back in the air!

[@jessiebullock]

Oh yes. The 101-110 interchange. I got into an accident there a couple months ago. So I totally agree that it’s a pain in the sensi bird. That was my first accident in more than a decade.

[@staytogether27]

Always love Micah Flys vlogs! plz keep doing it.

[@per-ericjonzon9979]

I Love your videos when you fly LA and beach towns... Love your comment too! Please continue!

[@sjbarr]

I watched every one of your LA/So Cal flyovers and I do miss them. Thanks for this one and I hope for more! Cheers from Indianapolis! Shout-outs to the "Extra Cargo" and The Straight Pipes!

[@Chucky90tt1]

Very nice Micah! These So. Cal videos bring back memories for me of flying out of KSNA and other airports in the basin. Cheers!

[@buckymoto]

"You're flying a helicopter and I can't operate an iPhone" best part of the vid. So glad the heli vids are back, even if they're relatively rare!

[@Cam-qo9zg]

thank you micha for taking the time

[@Wickhaven1]

I was addicted to your flights during the shutdown, and got caught up in life. Just came back to check in, and right on time! I definitely love your flights. Good thing-went back to work. Bad thing-went back to work 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@brendonsmith5663]

Hi Micah, thanks for the helicopter content we love watching them all from Melbourne Australia great to see your family enjoying the new helicopter with you.

[@ChuckFoxen]

Found your vids during the beginning of the pandemic. When for n and adventure wasn't an option, it was very cool to watch these flyovers.

[@beardown6574]

Love king harbor. Just beautiful there!

[@fanatichighdesertrailroader]

Always enjoyed the videos. A very different look of last year to now.

[@davidfrania8990]

Great tour, Muzio family! Thanks so much for the ride! Quite a difference between 2020 and now. Back to the LA I remember on trips past. And really Micah, you have never been to the Santa Monica pier??? The first time I went there was in the evening when a friend of mine got a tip from one of her patients who worked for one of the studios. He told her when and where they would be filming a scene for "Police Woman" at the pier, so we went down to gawk. I know that show was way before your time, but it was pretty big back in the day, so we felt pretty privileged to be able to get in on that. Memories...

[@MicahMuzio]

After our flight I recalled that I had been to the pier for a comedy festival years ago. Regardless, I'm way overdue to return.

[@davidfrania8990]

@@MicahMuzio I hope you have a great time! I have some good memories of the pier...Thanks for a little nostalgia!

[@brspeedysgarage]

The gab with Torrance tower was awesome, glad to know you make friends up there. 😀

[@bebrothertonla11]

I miss your videos. Thanks for doing an updated flight.

[@TalismanPHX]

Sooo, Corona times has made big changes in my world. I bought a little house in the Blue Ridge foothills of southwest Virginia, and left city life in downtown Phoenix. Unfortunately, trying to avoid population centers filled with COVID-19, I now live in a rural COVID hotspot. As a former LBC resident, I love your helicopter vids as a trip down memory lane. Wishing you and the fam all the best, Micah.

[@robertdarby7197]

Grrrreat you did this video! And of course the Disneyland one before it opened! The traffic is back!

[@Bravo2Zulu]

Gotta' love your aerial videos. Keep them coming dude. Much appreciated. Thank you.

[@MichaelPhillipsatGreyOwlStudio]

I spent a lot of my time during the shutdowns/pandemic studying Italian and French. I've learned a lot. I love your helicopter videos! They are so cool.

[@MicahMuzio]

Way to extract some goodness from the lockdown. 🙌

[@SomeDayPilot13]

I’m pretty much only here for the helicopter footage. I found you through a flying video. And while I like the car tests… these flying videos are the best! Keep them coming!

[@adrian126]

Thanks Micah, as always, for great aviation videos. Still want to learn to fly (helicopters) some day. You made the lockdown a little better with videos around that time last year. I’m also from San Diego so I love the California angle…….and you car vids are pretty good too!

[@NaProbablyNot]

Love these LA vids!

[@roaming-aus]

Here in Sydney Australia we are still in lockdown and will be for about another month. Not being able to travel and enjoy normal freedoms has been tough but I’ve been lucky to still be working and keeping busy.

[@t.freeman3595]

Great video. Thank you for flying and showing what is happening.

[@kevinmartin225]

Wow what a difference 12 months makes. Now you’re in the mountains may I suggest a flight over the air plane graveyard at Victorville, I believe you may spot some rather large qantas planes parked in the desert.

[@alvaroenriquecuelloperez2442]

I just use to go to LA i like a lot, gracias for video, saludos from Venezuela 🇻🇪

[@rickfink1942]

I was lucky enough to see AC;/DC in Dodger Stadium in 2016. Quite a spectacle for a Montana boy!

[@ImmortalJman]

Micah and family, I love watching these videos as this area was my old stomping grounds. I'm glad you got the R44 and I'm hoping to get my own soon too.

[@MicahMuzio]

Happy heli shopping, Jason! And thanks for watching. Cheers!

[@mdrudholm]

Man, I miss that clear air we had last Spring.

[@MsPinkwolf]

In some ways your 1st covid flyover seems like yesterday but in another way it feels like a lifetime ago. Lovely video and sunset. Keep up the good work.

[@rickwarrick3092]

Micah, thanks for the air tour of LA, can't image how much I would have paid for this trip in person, so this is the next best thing! Great pilot, great family and great views! I'm a new sub and ordering my Flying Eyes!

[@MicahMuzio]

Welcome, Rick. Glad to have you aboard!

[@whatever5922]

This is soooo cool, I love LA

[@mostlydollshelicopters4799]

Nice video 🚁👍 that sunset is so beautiful 💛🙂

[@paramedicinparadise9795]

My daughter and I were looking for videos about Disneyland a year ago and found yours flying over the Magic Kingdom and loved it and I now try to watch all the vids you post about flying. As for what your viewers have been up to I have been very, very busy working as a frontline Paramedic dealing with this Pandemic since day one. You vids give me a little break from my reality. 👍

[@MicahMuzio]

Thanks a million for all your hard work as a paramedic. 🤘

[@cathybaigent1643]

We are huge fans of your helicopter flyovers Micha! It is so fun to see you flying with your family now too. We live in northern California but visit Orange County quite often. My husband is a private pilot. One of our favorite things to do is visit the in-and-out near LAX and eat in the park and watch the planes land. Do you have any plans for fly overs in the Palm Desert area?

[@RogerBergqvist]

Love these videos. 😍
