Probably the best and clearest video I’ve seen of NYC from an airplane. What a beauty, thanks for sharing!

[@shaunganley]

Thanks so much. ❤

[@doctordark3527]

NYC is a facade

[@johneaton25]

It was soooooo clear it actually looked like a PC game

[@terrancethomas9792]

I was in college in Florida. The plane left LaGuardia. It turned and flew over the East River and Manhattan was there out of my window. I took several pictures. Gorgeous shots. Later my Mom said fly in at night. So I did the night trip. The streets were Golden. Took a few shots.

[@peterwinstonaldredge6927]

I agree! I was just there and took videos from my plane and not nearly as clear as this video. New plane?

[@EmilyTienne]

Spectacular, just perfect start to finish. The aircraft’s shadow was the cherry topping.

[@coillmor]

Couldn't agree more 👏

[@anuragtiwari9171]

...also the kids chatter in the background !❤️❤️ 😃

[@EmilyTienne]

@@anuragtiwari9171 Yes! I was going to say the same as well. But you did it for me. They were enthralled by what they saw and made all kinds of interesting commentary.

[@alistairm9351]

Long approach showcasing the city nicely - the best I have seen. Steady camera work and assisted by the smooth early morning approach. The light was beautiful. Great job!

[@shaunganley]

Thanks so much. This ended up being better than the reason I went down to NYC in the first place. Was THRILLED to get this perfect light, perfect approach -- and such great video!

[@andrey7us]

The kid’s narration is awesome 😂

[@gnosis7662]

The cute comments made by the kids makes this video even better!

[@8avexp]

The Empire State Building has a new nickname: Shorty.:)

[@EliF-ge5bu]

Or "miniature"

[@christopherwagner2395]

I had exactly the same gorgeous view from a US Airways flight from Virginia to LGA in early September 2001. A few days later that view was gone forever. God bless America.

[@videowilliams]

Too much magnificence to praise, from the crystalline clear air and that incomparable skyline to the autumn leaves and shadow of the aircraft on the landing, to your(?) child's commentary that "it looks like miniatures!" Stunning indeed.

[@videowilliams]

@pippylong No doubt! But none of that affects the postcard views. And that's some kind of achievement in itself.

[@53shuzzie]

The coolest city in the world.

[@RobelRoberto]

The best video-recorded airplane landed, and the videos were so clear looks like a professional person recorded them.

[@stevenm6200]

The sound alone From the engine gives me traveling goosebumps. Nostalgic and amazing view!

[@hatpeach1]

An example of a "stunning" video. Most KZbin videos don't understand what that word means. Thanks for sharing!

[@gobigorange]

I’ve seen this on 2 occasions at night an both times wondered what it would look like in daylight, an now I know, thanks for sharing

[@AndrewLewer90]

You weren't kidding with that title. These views are phenomenal

[@noodengr3three825]

On Sept 12, 2006 my friends and I flew home from Delhi India into Newark. We landed predawn and the blue beans of light were still projecting up from Ground Zero. I wish someone would have had a camera going then. Great job on this one. Kids in the background add charm

[@laptopdoc]

What a clean video, the view your kid’s talking to you everything was perfect 👌

[@johndavis6535]

Wow, that was amazing. No other city in the world can match the beauty of NYC skyline, no matter how tall or garish other cities try to become.

[@anthonyhutchings8239]

Stunning video!! We left Jamaica,Queens for Cresskill in Bergen County New Jersey in August 1966..the difference was like night and day...Thanks dad for your WW-2 Navy service and 44 years US Postal service Manhattan Branch (RIP Dad )

[@ScottNB914]

Wonderful views. And I observe how the children are so expressive and articulate in enunciating their conversation. Delightful.

[@UlliStein]

Wow, the must beautiful video of an LGA approach I've ever seen. Great quality, No turbulence, no wing disturbing the picture... perfect, thanks!!

[@danmeadows3859]

WOW ,nice. What a great view,and a clear day. You’ve got a steady hand. Most people would have phone turned vertically and wobbling all over the place. Good job 👍

[@alvidrez7956]

Wow first time seeing nyc from above . Never knew how many skyscrapers they had . Beautiful

[@davecfishing7907]

thank u for recording! the excitement of landing in the energy of NYC is unlike anywhere!

[@jeffreywolfe1]

Gorgeous video! The weather couldn't have been more perfect. As a native Manhattanite, what struck me the most were the tall skyscrapers of downtown Brooklyn! As a resident of that borough from '87 to '90, I don't remember Fulton & DeKalb, Nostrand or Flatbush Avenues being that tall.

[@shaunganley]

As a kid who grew up in Brooklyn in the 1980s and 1990s, the growth of Downtown Brooklyn has been incredible! You see why Brooklyn could stand on its own as a huge city. The growth in the LIC area has also been impressive!

[@marywilliams5712]

Whats LIC lol

[@marywilliams5712]

As a kid going to the Albany area a lot to see my grandparents I never got to go into NYC.

[@marywilliams5712]

We got close when we would go see family in Fairfield CT though

[@davipervenom9151]

That’s a lot of humanity cramped into such a small area. Pretty from the distance. And fascinating to have multiple cities and there skylines that close to each other. Frankly, these type of videos are the only way I would ever wanna see that area.

[@bryanwelsh7608]

Fantastic video! Not a bit of window frame or glass scratches. Great lighting!. Love NYC and love flying. I watched the video twice!!

[@MillerMeteor74]

Wow! That's an amazing view! Awesome.

[@theoneandonly1802]

Man, that is a pure Perfection shot right there 👍. Perfect weather, perfect lighting, no clouds, your camera is not shaking and you took some serious high quality footage of the whole New York City and then some lol.

[@280StJohnsPl]

Great video....I've been away from NYC for over 20 years now and grew up right near LaGuardia, thanks !

Me too, Astoria.

[@Bryanw1027]

I flew in 3 weeks ago to LaGuardia and that flight path into the city is stunning!

[@tented]

This is perfectly filmed, with a beautiful view of NYC. Also, thank you for *not* adding music - it’s much better with the ambient sounds from the plane.

[@redswoof]

Awesome view of the entire NYC area! You had a great landing path! Thanks for uploading.

[@stephendise7946]

A pity that the city is such a leftist sewer. Too bad!! ☹️

[@ambeerlovee3618]

Thanks for this viewpoint I haven’t flown yet but I am going to soon! Hope you enjoyed your trip

[@Steven-en6uu]

The eye gets tricked into thinking you're floating even when traveling at 400mph. Following the shadow cast upon the ground at around 3:30 and getting clearer as it lands gives you an idea of how fast these beasts are going even while slowing down to land.

[@DemPilafian]

​@Phillip Banes Because, you know, trust me bro.

[@DemPilafian]

@Phillip Banes Then why did you think the plane was going 600 mph?

[@DemPilafian]

@Phillip Banes Oh you're right! You said *nothing informative at all* in your first reply, and you were snarky. In your follow-up reply you said something useful. How about in the future making your first reply useful instead of snarky? (especially considering the original comment was not even remotely offensive). I'm still pretty sure you qualify as a "bro".

[@DemPilafian]

@Phillip Banes What is wrong with *you?* Why did you make that rude reply in the first place? When I see someone make a snarky reply to a good comment, I throw them a snarky barb to catch. Do you want to go on record claiming that your first reply was *NOT* rude?

[@OSTARAEB4]

More like 160-180 knots. 400 mph he wouldn’t be able to land and certainly not on a runway 7,000 feet long.

[@HenryFalkner]

Great and onubscured view of the city!

[@nycstarport8542]

As a Native NYer, l grew up less than 2 miles from LGA, I recognized some of the big buildings; Cool 😎

[@newenglandgreenman]

Cool video, but the caption is wrong. The approach is from the south. Brooklyn is south of LaGuardia.

[@vbflyboy]

Agreed. Great clarity in the video, but they're approaching from the southwest. Verrazano's Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Downtown Manhattan all on the left, or port side of the plane means the Embraer 190 is coming from the southwest. If it was coming from the north, all of that would be in front and to the right side of the plane.

[@thebasinmusic8259]

He came from Boston and arrived from the north. They had to fly past the airport to join the final to runway 4.
