Great Video, Great Narration, thanks. I was able to freeze it and see both my apartment building off the Brooklyn Bridge in Brooklyn and my office building on Broadway in Manhattan at the same time.

[@PeterMasella]

Cool! Thanks for watching!

[@KyrilPG]

Fantastic ! I've got great memories of our last tour across the pond. I selected the right side seats during anticipated check-in for our Orlando > LGA after checking the weather. And the reward was marvelous : a runway 13 approach a bit after sunset with the same views except a right turn just North of Central Park at a very low altitude. It looked like we were lower than the top of the skyscrapers. Absolutely gorgeous ! I was praying the universe for that approach but seems to have forgotten the name as I write this comment. It's roughly the same Hudson approach from the South, then right turn over Manhattan and straight into runway 13. Certainly my favorite one. This was a great video with exquisite views ! Greetings from Paris.

[@PeterMasella]

Thanks for watching! Sounds like you flew the "River Visual Runway 13" Approach

[@KyrilPG]

@@PeterMasella Ah yes, that's the one ! I keep forgiving "river" and replacing it with "Hudson". Anyway, I was stunned by how low the River Visual 13 approach is. Especially just after sunset, the top of many skyscrapers seems to be above our altitude when doing the right turn, and that's mesmerizing ! Thanks a lot for the video and making me remember the name.

[@NikoStojic]

Wow what an approach! LGA has the best climbs and approaches its unreal. Seeing NYC that close is incredible! Great job Peter!

There's also a lot of ugliness there, so be prepared. If you take a cab from JFK to Manhattan, you'll think you're in some depressed 3rd world country - until you get to Manhattan, when it becomes beautiful.

Ah the memories. TY for a wonderfully narrated video. What is it like flying into the new LGA? I was able to see a lot of the construction before leaving NYC.

[@PeterMasella]

Glad you enjoyed it! Since I am flying on Delta Air Lines which operates out of terminals C and D, most of the flights arrive/depart from the "old LGA" since Delta is the last airline to get the new gates (only 1 of 4 Delta concourses is completed and this flight arrived at terminal C which only has one active old concourse as well as a new concourse under development and not ready for use) On my channel, I have many videos documenting the progress of construction on LGA's east end (Terminals C and D). Terminal B, which is home to other airlines, is a well documented terminal in terms of construction, and is currently "the new LGA" as most of it is completed. There are many videos of terminal B that feature "the new LGA". So I can only partially speak about "the new LGA" since all of my flights this year have been on Delta Air Lines. I have departed out of the 1 new Delta concourse a few times (only accessed from terminal D) which is gorgeous.
