Los Angeles Helicopter Flyover | Protests

[@MicahMuzio]

Honest question. Are you doing ok?

[@kimosabbe50]

Who, the pooper below? 🤔

[@RevolutionaryThinking]

I'm not doing so good because it's really hard for me to see a path out of this unemployment. The money is good but, long term I want to build a legacy and do something awesome that helps people and builds a legacy.

[@benn9499]

No because this ugly socal weather didn't let me fly this weekend.. :(

[@Cletusaz]

Doing ok. We need to survive together. Learning everyday

[@jimmehp2748]

Thank you for asking! Here in Vancouver, BC things are going okay . Businesses are opening and we are starting to get back to normal. We have actually enjoyed the last few months as a reset, to slow down and enjoy life more.

[@getstew]

"I don’t know if humanity is coming back, but people are coming back." Well said!

[@Murph2464]

Love the low run along the beach. Is so cool to see you waving like you are driving by a friend's house

[@gforce2002]

Those are actually perfect final thoughts, Micah. Very well said. About the current situation, I will only say that real change has never come easy. Wishing you all the best.

[@Pandion1872]

Could you do a flyover of the La Brea Tar Pits some time? Thanks.

[@adrian126]

Great videos as always. You provide perspective without being preachy. You just come off like a good California dude that honestly loves flying and connecting with people, so keep doin' it! Plus, you have inspired me to learn to fly helicopters some day.

[@asiocentric]

31:34 Thank you for giving us such an amazing shot during this flyover on my birthday. This was the most unique birthday I’ve had in 44 years and with everything happening, it’s so good to see beauty during these challenging times. I love this city and am in awe every time I step back and look at it. I appreciate you.

[@ericvongoerlitz9423]

Micah, really enjoyed this LA flyover. Perhaps next time you approach King Harbor you could come in a little farther south near Palos Verdes and fly up the coast of Torrance State Beach, which we called "Rat Beach" when I surfed in the 1950's. My parents lived on Hope St. on Bunker Hill (when it really was a hill) when I was born, about two blocks up from the LA Public Library. My teenage years were in the Silverlake area and my girlfriend lived off of Los Feliz, so this was a great run for me. I live less than one degree south of the equator now in Ecuador. Doing well, and the wonders of the internet allow this visit back to my roots. Thanks from EcuadorEric

[@afc358]

3:21 I'd have loved to see the kid's face after that. Excellent shoutout!

[@garlen8]

Micah, I want to thank you for all the flies over L.A. and surrounding areas. My sisters and I finally got to L.A. last September, had a great time. Your videos remind me of the things that I have seen. Whilst there we stayed 2 nights on the Queen Mary, went to Hollywood, went to taping of Dr Phil, among other things. Please keep doing what you are doing. I'm a huge fan and will be watching.

[@stevem6247]

Hey Micah! your channel has been amazing to watch over the last few months that I've been stuck inside because of the pandemic, you have made me love helicopter flight even more! your filming skills are killer too, love the setup, love the flights, love the jargon as well. Overall your channel and content is awesome, sorry to hear you've been down a little bit, trust me I'm there myself. Anyhow keep flying, keep entertaining and if you're ever in AZ or want a photographer to tag along sometime let me know!

[@jessiebullock]

You’re amazing. Thank you for making these, Micah!

[@janetr5929]

Your videos are so awesome. You seriously deserve 1000’s more subscribers. I share your channel all the time. Such a fun watch for me, a lover of all places California. Thank you for such a special view.

[@cdshivers]

Hi Micah. If you’d like a suggestion on where to fly over. I would recommend any Saturday morning between 9-11am at the San Clemente outlets. As of last week they reopened our free weekly car show (SouthOCcarsandCoffee). There are hundreds of cars ranging from multi million dollar exotics to everyday cars. Considering you’re are car reviewer, I figured it would be right up your alley. If you so happen to see a ‘17 blue mustang with white stripes, I’ll wave 😅.

[@dafmorgan57]

Hey Micah! Love the videos- thanks! Hey could you fly over Neverland Ranch sometime? That might be interesting. Take care!

[@koreanplayboy]

Alien's probably think we're peaceful until they zoom in.

[@artiew8718]

Human's aren't as bad as other life forms. We don't eat our babies and we help others, even to our detriment. Life is even scarier under a microscope, look at parasites for example. Predators eat their prey alive, their prey dying in agony. A lot of animals die of starvation or just from the cold or no water. If there are aliens capable of looking at us, they already understand everything because they don't necessarily have to adhere to the physics of our dimension.

[@Buzz_15900]

Shoutout from Johannesburg, South Africa!

[@adamplitt]

Here in Biloxi.... hunkering down in this tropical storm. Im a fan of your awesome video quality. Nice picture.

[@terrysullivan1992]

"Acknowledge other peoples humanity" Micah, that ain't nothing; that's everything.

[@Sanctifires]

sure. now if we could just get the sub-human, racist rioters to do that.

[@handy106]

Thank you, from Australia. Thank you for you videos, really enjoying them and thank you for not trying the accent. 😉

[@jameswsomers]

Great job Micah!I didn't know they had those canals in Venice,always entertaining,thanks!

[@edtur6063]

Welcome to LA. Thank You for videos Micah 👍

[@KapitaalKapers]

Thank you for this shoutout! From Australia. Your videos are so enjoyable. Be safe😊

[@ajdhig1]

Thanks for flying over the Reservoir. You’re a man of your word!

[@MicahMuzio]

I'm not quick but I am thorough. :)

[@Dbwj-so6mu]

Seeing the Santa Monica pier empty is just depressing

[@robalbiston6873]

Great week! Flew to Lynchburg, VA from Denver, CO. It was nice to fly again... after being cooped up for a couple of months. Moving to Lynchburg soon for work, so it was nice to get the lay of the land and meet some locals. Unfortunately they have no helicopter training in the area, so I'll have to find an airport relatively close by to get started... Thanks for the great videos, Micah. Love your positive vibes!

[@robertway2858]

I truly appreciate your flying around So Cal. Our son flew up last week from So Cal for my birthday - the time spent with him was too fast. To answer your question, my week has been just okay. World events, national events are difficult to grapple with. I just do the best I can to take it one day at a time. Thank you Micah for all you do.

[@ivang97997]

I am thinking "Amazon distribution center fire in Redland , how it looks like now?

[@wtrskr59]

Was the Amazon of Redland the (main) So. Cal distribution center, was that accidental or riot related. We all need to be GUNG HO and get this country back on its feet again quickly and get this country running properly w/o constantly worrying about CV-19 and who maybe a carrier. I think if we all wore green wrist bands that would help ease the worry , September will be here soon for me to get my annual flu shot. Then November 1, 2020 - April 30, 2021, I'll be in 6 mos quarantine, then be out again May 1 ,2021- October 31 2021 and start the routine all over again That what we all around the world need to make part of our new life routine

[@Socaltrainwatcher]

Kevin N the fire was not at Amazon's big warehouse. It was at a third party's warehouse. That company delivers larger products for Amazon. I haven't heard if they had figured out the cause of the fire.

[@petes_CE]

Keep up the good work Micah! With things warming up, I took my motorcycle out and I'm using it for commuting with a big ol smile on my face.

[@Bellairvideo]

Micah G’day from Torquay Victoria. Many thanks for the ‘shout out’ Love each video you produce. Well done mate. Hope you get up to Lake Arrowhead sometime ( if you have the range of course)

[@beardown6574]

Love that you flew over Redondo Beach pier... hung out there last year while visiting my cousin. Beautiful place... stunning sunset!

[@Average_Enthusiast_]

You do a great job of showing a fun and relaxing perspective on general aviation. Your videos motivate me to get to a point where I can fly like this myself. Things will get better. My week has been pretty good.

[@scottruhl4710]

As always, thank you for doing these. Especially excited to see a long 35 minute vid. But like you I'm also in a weird mood. Be safe!

[@davidpitts4916]

So grateful you fly and take us with you 👍

[@gratefulmc7216]

The week was a bit of a rollercoaster. So thankful to have your video to sit back, relax and enjoy the view...THANK YOU! While talking to my next door neighbor yesterday, found out she also LOVES your videos. I hope you are doing ok. Stay safe friend!🌈🚁🥰

[@StarTrooper]

Do you ever fly to the Catalina Islands?

[@knut]

29:27 Bottom left corner... barely in frame = my old alma mater, Downtown Magnets HS. Thanks for the nostalgia!

[@sharoncormier7713]

Truthfully Micah, I've had a hard week. I'm graduating college this week and all the emotions are WACK. Finals have been extra tough this term. Thank you for asking! I hope you're doing well. Thank you for flying and documenting it!

[@MajorTom95]

Back in the late "90s, I did a lot of flying around SoCal in a R~22 out of SNA; your videos bring back a lot of memories and really tug at the heartstrings...those were GREAT days!

[@369284ab]

Have you ever landed on a tall building? That would be cool to see....

[@BillWogan]

Doing well, brother. I miss flying so much and I get at least a little fix from your videos. So thank you for that. Will you please add San Gabriel Mission to your list if it isn't already. God bless, man. Peace

[@johndeluca230]

My week? Hosted several remotely delivered education events, my new normal. Enjoy seeing formerly familiar sights as I lived in the area in the 1970s. Please be safe and keep these videos coming!

[@bobbrandia7338]

Used to work for L A Airways Helicopter and flew many of the routes you fly now (tho we LANDED at the heliport at Disneyland). Brings back lots of memories. Thanks and keep safe.

[@kennethjroybal]

That was another fantastic video. Thank you for the hook up. Ken

[@cjroberts77]

Your videos are great. Hello from Australia

[@citibear57]

It is always incredible to see our world from up above, whether it is flying at 38,000 feet in a commercial airplane, or 500 feet in a helicopter. I love watching your flights around greater Los Angeles and environs. I love looking at the buildings below. Beautiful architecture, massive warehouses, beautiful homes, the Pacific coast line. It is all awesome, and I am so thankful to watch your videos, Micah.. I live in Canada, in a small city of

[@MichaelPhillipsatGreyOwlStudio]

I've felt bad. I was literally sick to my stomach, had food poisoning. Haven't had that since 1997. Feels symbolic. Having been sleeping well. Today's events seem worse than in any other in my lifetime. But your helicopter videos make me feel better. I flew in one over Mt. St. Helens in 2004, and I've always liked them. One of my goals is to take a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon.

[@23billd]

Hey Micah, your helicopter videos are a welcome respite from all the ugliness on the news channels. I'm impressed on how clear the air has become in LA. I can remember a trip in 1967 when I was driving through LA and the smog was choking! Just imagine how clear it'll become as we transition to electric cars. BTW, I was wondering how much does it cost you to fly for one hour? Cheers!

[@pbsanstead]

The transition is well underway. "Tesla Model 3 was the top selling vehicle in California last quarter." [First quarter 2020] cleantechnica.com/2020/05/29/tesla-model-3-top-selling-car-in-california/

[@laxnative4622]

Air has been much cleaner than the 1960s for decades now. But the last couple of months have been amazing when it comes to visibility.

[@laxnative4622]

Always so cool to see Micah fly BELOW the tops of the smokestacks along the beach in El Segundo.

[@yahpager9650]

Starting to get really bored. I want to go back to work, just got an e-mail yesterday and it seems my layoff got extended to the end of July. The day you posted this video was my Birthday. Thank you for your flyovers it helps time go by.

[@MicahMuzio]

I'm sorry to hear about the layoff extension, Michael. But happy birthday to you!

[@Jeffzzzaus]

Jerry Springer and "words of wisdom" shouldn't be used in the same sentence haha :)

[@leonardodesousa8291]

😂

[@tedsterb]

Can you fly over the Getty center? :)

[@pbsanstead]

He did! And it's my favorite one so far - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGSVkoVoa7tofpo

[@Christopher-pe6zj]

Sounded like you're having a rough day... hang in there man! Thank you for the amazing videos! I think some of your positive words came towards the middle of the video! :) Cheers!

[@ArVeeNiner]

How about a video equipment rundown? I love the quality of your videos and am amazed how smooth they are. I like to take an occasional video from my Vans RV9A airplane but I don’t get nearly the same quality that you do. A rig rundown would be great!

[@MicahMuzio]

That's a great idea!

[@charleshamilton9274]

Flying over the “Flats” of Beverly Hills...you flew over so many notable buildings; e.g., Beverly Hills City Hall, BH Post Office, Church of the Good Shepherd, the Montage. By the way, the BH Police Department was noted for their restraint during the protests. If you haven’t yet flown over Beverly Park (both north and south) you really should. Fun to accompany you on these adventures in the sky!

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Awesome video Micah!😸😸😸

[@knotezbingreen]

Would you please fly up to Malibu, especially Point Dume and just North along the coast?!

[@CandyT912]

Hello from Santa Clarita! My family and I are doing ok. Dealing with the last week of school, and then straight onto Summer Vacay... whatever that may or may not entail. Hard with two little ones, but I just have to keep them busy mentally and physically. As for myself... been up and down with emotions. Watching your videos help! My favorite part is when you do beach flyovers! You take care now! Glad the flight helped lift your spirits. 😁👍🏼 Stay safe!

[@saxmastergq]

If you find yourself near Hawthorne, could you fly over the SpaceX rocket factory? Maybe get a shot of the booster out front.

[@dream2451]

I've had a great week, my husband and I celebrated our 15th anniversary. Today I started my walking regimen again, I'm exhausted, but thrilled our town is opening up, and as a stormchaser/photographer the storm season has begun, all in all a great week. I'll look back in your videos, but I'd love to see catalina. Thanks for sharing

[@aprimarieu8729]

Perfect ending, acknowledge other peoples humanity 🙌🏾🙏🏽, ty

[@Government_Username]

So much better than drone shots!!! Especially the human connection.

[@tats4ever]

Great video! Your 💯 we all want to be acknowledged on many different levels. It Gives us a sense of purpose. Thank you for all your great videos! You’re a wonderful human. 🚁

[@dlwatib]

Being able to see the beach, even from above in your helicopter makes the world a better place. Thanks Micah. Here's a moment with a random human. Since you asked, I've felt sadness and anger this week, no need to go into why. I'm glad I live in a small town where there's no danger of rioting. I love LA, but this has been a good week not to live in LA or another large city.

[@anngela9040]

Do you give out tours ?

[@peterrowcliffe747]

as a big enstrom fan im always happier when i see a enstrom flying, peter from the UK

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

I love looking at the shoreline, very nice

[@aineomalley6431]

Hi, from Ireland, I never knew L.A was so flat.. jealous of the very long beach lined coast..I'm really enjoying your flights.. happy I found your channel :-)

[@laxnative4622]

Actual the Santa Monica mountains run east-west through much of the Los Angeles area. He stays to the south of them in this video.

[@laxnative4622]

Flying over the Venice canals reminded of drivers training class in high school back around 1974. Public high schools used to teach students to drive, and our instructor would tell us what routes to take. Our teacher liked to have us drive next to the canals. Excited student driver driving, teacher in the passenger seat, and 2 or 3 nervous students in the back hoping they weren't going to die that day at the hands of the current driver. ;-)

[@TOM-C.]

Love these flyovers, thank you, so many memories from childhood are brought back, this one from The Dell Amo Fashion Center. At age 14, I took my brothers my brothers brand new Toyota Celica 5sp, (I had never driven a car, let alone a 5spd lol) for a joyride down to a friend in Torrance, about 40mi from my house in Ontario. We went to the Del Amo Fashion Center, and cruised around. Later, the friend had to go, so nothing to do, I went back to the Center, and went into the mall. The mall was crowded, and I had to park across the street, way across the street. They had humungus parking lots, and I thought the car is safe from being found over there, and proceeded to the mall. Time to leave, no idea where or what I was going to do, but took the long walk back to the car, and was about to cross the street when I saw my dad, and brother standing behind the car! I thought, how in the heck did they find me? I quickly backtracked, and waited, and watched for a few minutes until I had the courage to face my demise. lol I don't recall getting in too much trouble, I think back, and my parents were probably glad to have me, and the car back in one piece. I was a good kid otherwise, just like adventure. lol P.S. You are providing a step back in time for me, and I thanks you so much. everywhere you fly over has memories as LA, and surrounding areas were my stomping grounds as a kid.

[@rogerb4436]

Wow, when flying over the downtown area, notice all the rooftop helipads...there's heaps.

[@DUSIan-in2ru]

Hey why do the bike lanes turn GREEN as u fly over? Are they green on the street? I haven't been to LA in awhile...Thanks for the videos keep them coming!

[@gazthefez8677]

Hey Micah, lovely vids. Have all the oil tankers that were stacked up, been and gone now? Or lessened significantly?

[@joefro1116]

That oil tanker video is one of the best.

[@KrisswUK1]

Hey Micah loving flying with you, would it be possible for you to fly a little further out at sea to see if you can spot any wildlife like whales, dolphins or sharks?. Many thanks from Maria and Chris London UK.

[@marybabiec]

I like your video . 2nd time watching it . Mary Babiec

[@12deyoe]

This flight track must have looked like Billy walking home from school in the Family circus comic strip. Love the top down view. Thank you

[@JOHNSMITH-dc6lr]

What's ur cruising speed and max? Give us a fly over the pv golfball antennas

[@ronmaatita8845]

Go Kart World is open in the rain? I had a team building event there a few years ago, as I made my way down from the valley (in the rain) I got a call that it was cancelled.....It was never rescheduled and I've never gotten over it.

[@DavidL-ii7yn]

I'm shocked at how quiet everything is: the highway, the beaches. Toronto is very busy in comparison through the pandemic.

[@junetedjones895]

God bless you and your family. Have you gotten to Anaheim Stadium where the Angels are supposed to play. LOL I

[@DjRay1967]

Hey Micah. I have a question. Whenever I listen to Santa Monica traffic I hear the term " Blue Whale" Where is that at? I lived all my life in the Venice area and still don't know where this " Blue Whale " is at. Also thanks for the aerial view of the Canals. Edit: While I was writing this Micah answered my question. I guess I should have watched the whole video before asking. LOL🤣

[@christopherestrada8576]

Another great video! I really appreciate your light approach on current events and that you’re so personable and jovial. I’ve had a pretty crazy week, for various reasons... I’m not sure just how much I’m allowed to say on certain topics so I’ll leave it at that, sorry. I work in the Wildland Fire sector and things are “heating up”, literally! LOL! To turn a phrase: Summer is coming. I love what I do because even though I’m a very tiny cog in the over all apparatus I know my efforts make a difference when we get called on to do our business. I’m very fortunate that I work with elite and well seasoned people who know their business and at times almost make it look easy even under great pressure. Just a quick shoutout to all the Wildland Firefighters, Tanker Base Personal, Air Crews, Fire Contractors and anyone part of the greater Wildland Firefighting Team! Stay cool and stay safe y’all! Keep up the great content sir and stay safe as well! Much love and respect!

[@cglynne]

Hey Micah, What are the rules regarding landing on a Helipad? There seems to be a helipad on most buildings in downtown LA.

I'm glad you can see all this stuff and other traffic, I'd be flaming wreckage in about 30 seconds after take off , hey I was still hoping for a fly over of station #127 aka the Robert A Cinader fire station , thanks

[@paulr4074]

I think a lot of us feel the same need for human connection during these times. That said, I almost wonder if it would be possible for you to live stream some of your flyovers? Would be a fun way for us to join you in the cockpit! (If you brought along a passenger to relay messages from viewers, we could even get a two-way conversation going!)

[@MikesVegas]

Hi Micah 😎 My week’s been nice. I’m in Georgia visiting my Sister. Hope you’re doing well in these crazy times as well 👍

[@maximilianacosta2625]

Micah, have you ever flown over Universal Studios? If so, do you have a video of your flight. Thank you!

[@joanparker8152]

Search You Tube 'Flying over empty theme parks. Disneyland, Universal, Sea World.

[@juandenz2008]

Thanks for the flyover, this kind of virtual tourism is interesting and relaxing. I think a lot of people are feeling pretty stressed at the moment, with the covid-19, protests, growing geopolitical tensions etc. Agree that it is probably unwise to fly over large protests. Too many police and news helicopters ! People can catch the coverage on tv !

[@buzzsmith8146]

Thanks, Micah.

[@patrickvillers6454]

Hey Micah I was born in Menomenee Michigan where Enstrom is located, it's a nice helicopter but My favorite is the cadillac of helicopters the Bell Jetranger.

[@miojogames1887]

When you flew just past manhatan beach, tha was a oil company?

[@laker4life36]

So what happens if something falls out of the helicopter because you have open doors? (Like your iPhone, wallet, glasses, etc.) Could you just land on the beach (or wherever you are) real quick and try and retrieve the stuff or are you just screwed?

[@laprock]

Could you fly by the Rose Hills cemetery in Whittier?! 🚁

[@kneyork9930]

San Fernando valley! James Monroe High School, and Porter Jr. High. And the San Fernando mission! Chatsworth hills? Vasquez Rocks?

[@clydebarnes5955]

Man, is the LA area a HUGE place!

[@Cletusaz]

Awesome as always. Thank you for uploading. Some very peaceful moments in this turbulent world.

[@keithnorse]

In 1995 I was working for ARCO at the 51 flr building at 5th&Flower. From there we could see 17 helicopters hovering all over and around the courthouse building as OJ Simpson was on his last day of trial. At about 10:15am the 17 helicopter group started moving west because OJ had been freed and he was heading home to Brentwood.

[@lovethemusic71]

Love your videos mate ... keep up the great work .🚁 Troy from Oz

[@RussellD11]

If your engine died, and cant re-start: and you over heavy populated area (down town) where would you try and land? Whats the best action?

[@MicahMuzio]

Parking lots are viable for emergency landings as are open streets, especially right now with so few people driving.

[@johanpienaar3683]

From South Africa. Like to follow your flights and to see if I can find the places you fly over on a flight simulator.
