TRAVEL TAMPA - I-75, I-4, Tampa International Airport

In this video we drive across Tampa as well as showing a great landing at Tampa International Airport aboard a boeing 757. We start out at I-75 and take I-4 west through downtown Tampa and continue on I-275 south to Tampa International Airport. We provide interesting facts along the way about Tampa. This is the first in a series of Driving Videos we will be doing. As well as showing the footage from the ground we also shoot aerial footage. For stock footage of this video contact us at [e-mail]. Be aware, we shot this doing the Covid-19 Pandemic, so don't expect traffic to be as light as what you see on this video. Certainly do not expect the Tampa Airport to be as empty as shown here. Coming this coming Sunda will be "Tampa 2020" a look at the growth of this city by the Bay.

[@Mikael97]

I am going to live in Tampa soon, it’s an amazing place.

[@TampaAerialMedia]

I think you'll like it. It does have some problems like any growing city, but nowhere near the problems you see on the west coast US. It is really a great place to live. And now we have Tom Brady, so life is good!

Can I come too, I am poor, and hungry....!?

[@mikebrown3946]

If you have never driven in Tampa the streets and highways are empty in this video because of Corona Virus. The highway is normally jammed with traffic.

[@TampaAerialMedia]

yes very true at certain times, although I don't think still not as bad as many metro areas, although it will probably get worse with as fast as the city is growing.

[@imerupp]

yeah everyone is driving a minimum of 10 over speed limit right now its great

I loved this! Your dog had a great view of the city! I live in Punta Gorda...but travel to see my daughter in Tampa frequently and never get to really see the scenery... and you are right...that traffic is minuscule, compared to how it usually is! I enjoy listening to your narration of the sights you show...bravo!

Thankyou we certainly will. Will focus on the cities first and once the pandemic is over will focus on the Beaches.

Nice. I grew up in Tampa, moved away in 1985. I've been back a few times over the decades for visits. I always felt safe growing up in Tampa. I grew up in an awesome family, but sometimes we grow in different ways, leaving the 'nest' becomes necessary. Great video.

[@yesiamanerd2040]

As always, a very nice video. Well presented. I just drove across town on Hwy 60. Despite the thinning crowds, there still seems to be quite a bit of commerce going on. I hope that those businesses that are still open can carry our fair city through this crisis. I hope that Water Street and Mid-town are not derailed by the virus.

[@TampaAerialMedia]

yes, so far Tampa hasn't been a affect yet, although its obvious, its different with the extreme light traffic. It won't affect Waterstreet or Mid-town as those are so far underway, they will be complete. I also think things will be opening up sooner rather than later. The death rate is not multiplying here. When you compare the numbers with Italy it shows we will not be no where near Italy, and with treatment drugs already showing success, it is a very, very, good sign things should be opening up before too long.

[@americanenglish6906]

Been living in Houston the past 8 years and its great but Tampa will always be home! Go Bucs! Miss ya my city

[@joanshadinger6117]

my husband &I just came back from Tampa Florida from grandson's wedding at the Vault downtown Tampa! Man what a trip flying down from Colorado Springs Colorado too! A good thing he called ahead to make sure we had a rental car and & wheelchairs both coming a going or we would never had made it on our own as TPA is huge! And coming home neither of us could walk my feet & ankles and left leg were so swollen I could not walk!! Thank you to all those people who make sure you get to where you need to be! It's called flying to Dallas-Fort worth both ways from Colorado Springs and a full plane! I could not walk at all! But we had such a great time while in Tampa. Michael was right you can get almost anywhere with in 20 minutes of where we had to go! We had a meet & greet at Jackson's Bistro & Sushi Bar on the water & Boardwalk such exciting people watching too! and that was fun and then wedding Sunday Memorial Day and weather could not have been better! It has been three weeks and still need a cane to walk! BUT well worth it!!

Well, sore legs are usually a sign that you had a good time. Great advice

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Using a GoPro Hero 8 and for the drone mostly a Mavic 2 Pro and sometimes a Autel Evo. With the Go Pro or Mavic, I don't really use any special settings but I adjust it in Premiere Pro, usually tweek it alittle adding some orange and saturation to it.

It took me six months but I finally remembered to tell you that I clipped out that short 10-15 second blurb you did in the driving/flying dog video about Tom Brady Winning his 7th SB ring and stuck it over and over on my Facebook page...especially every time they won a playoff game. Hope you don't mind. That was an excellent prediction. If it's no trouble...I'd like to know.... How are you at picking stocks and horse races? Keep up the good work.

[@TampaAerialMedia]

yep that was a typo, we will correct that in the Tampa 2020 video

[@mikebrown3946]

I saw that too. Correct it started in 1904. I think around 1988 is when the city cracked down on the rowdiness and women flashing for beads. So technically rhe "tame" version we see today started around 1988. Lol

[@stevel8194]

A few points about this video. Very well done no doubt about it. Love the editing. You called Brady getting his 7th ring. But the only beef I have is you telling people to get in the far left land immediately to "go fast" on 275. Half the problem with driving in this city is people driving in the PASSING lane when they aren't PASSING. While you unironically make mention of I-4 being one of the most dangerous roads in the country. Anyone who has driven I-4 knows its dangerous because EVERYONE drives in the PASSING lane and if you truly want to pass you have to do so on the RIGHT.

[@6600madison]

Gasparilla did not begin in 1988 as you claim. It has been around and thriving since 1904

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Yep that was a mistake statement

[@lylewood2029]

Very nicely done. Integration of the shots from the air really make it look top flight (sorry), So, those miles and miles of concrete ate NOT parking lots after all but, what did you call them...roads? Well, that explains why everyone just sat in their cars, I guess, huh? For doing such an outstanding job, you are hereby awarded the most coveted prize in all of chimpdom...The Golden Banana Award! If I could attach it here I would but there isn't a way so I can't. Take my word for it, it's beautiful, everyone says it's gorgeous. Not working? Okay, I'll drop it. Stay safe and scrub that dog down (no, ducks have down) scrub that dog hair with a good antibacterial soup. Soap. Sorry (again). Oh, here's a fun fact for your next video: Tampa is the nations 12th largest media market virtually identical in size to Phoenix. It is larger than Seattle, Denver, Miami/Ft. Lauderdale (16) , Detroit, Minneapolis, and only slightly smaller than Atlanta.

Is living in Florida affordable to live?. New york is too expensive and you barely get anything for these expensive prices when it comes to apartments, houses, and food.

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Yes it is, especially compared to new York. It is very much more business friendly and no state income tax.

[@321gates]

Your paycheck will more than likely look a lot different, but so will your expenses (big time). Overall, your better off. Just don't bring New York politics with you or that will change FAST! We are very business friendly in Florida which helps keep costs down. Just get on any real estate site and check out what $300-500k will get you in most northern urban areas compared to Florida. You'll be astonished.
