LA River Flyover, from Van Nuys to Long Beach. My helicopter flyovers videos of California have inspired lots of flyover requests. One interesting request came from a documentary filmmaker who asked if I would be willing to shoot footage along the length of the LA River. I agreed but wasn’t sure the journey would merit a Micah Flies video.
Man, I’m so glad I decided to film the flight. Not only was the LA River’s development from Van Nuys to Long Beach fascinating but we also saw many of the sites viewers have requested. To top off the flight, a plane had to make an emergency landing as I approached Long Beach and I listened to the drama unfold in real-time. It was a flight to remember.
Here's the documentary that requested I fly the LA river.

Ripe for clickbait but you decided to not do it. A lot of respect for that.
How was it an opportunity?
@@NickTasy "Plane lands in LA River during my flyover!" or something like that lol
Didnt think of this but totally agree!!!
Micah these videos have been life-savers during this quarantine. Thank you so much
😀
SUGGESTION : When social distancing is wound down, perhaps interview one of the air traffic controllers that you deal with . Maybe even up in the helicopter - bring them for a ride !
Czechbound 💯
What a great idea.
Good suggestion. Controllers are the blood that courses through the veins of aviation. I've never understood how they can do it.
Czechbound 🤘
@@staubach1979rt they are a special breed.
normal people when they're depressed: Im gonna go for a midnight drive
This guy: Im gonna follow the LA River with my heli and see where it leads to.
this is like dope as shit idea you would come up with while sky high you know what i mean around 4:20pm but never do it. except you sit back and enjoy watching this guy do it.
GOOGLE MAPS : Anyone else watching these videos with Google Maps open too, and following along there too :) ?
Czechbound good idea ...I didn’t think of that
I'm finding I do this with almost every Micah video now.
I do it quite often, I'm often curious about what various businesses and other locations are.
Actually yes... every video.
How do you do this? Where is the option?
Bro when that scream came through the radio my heart SANK! That was nuts that you were able to document that in real time but super super happy those folks made it down safely!
Glad to hear the emergency landing went well. Appreciate your genuine concern for others!
TIMESTAMP 18:40 Movie GREASE .. the car race was between 1st Street and 7th Street bridges in the LA River channel
TIMESTAMP 09:13 BACK TO THE FUTURE COURTHOUSE SQUARE just to the bottom right of the screen
Spot on mate well spotted.
Good Eye !!
09:05 bottom of the screen is the Amblin offices (Spielberg's place) where, I believe, the well is located that Marty and his brother and sister are photographed in front of and start to be "erased" from during bttf1.
Micah these videos have been life-savers during this quarantine. Thank you so much
Hear hear. I'm loving these videos. Greetings from Prague, Czech Republic
Wow, that short scream gave me chills.....
“Don’t touch your face!” said the ATIS best ever, damn though hearing that scream though WTFrick!!
Oh wow... The ending is crazy. Start from 27:00.
Earlier today I was thinking about a LA river flyover and this pops up 🤯
Again, thank you for the flyover of UCLA, my alma mater. I was raised from ages 3 to 5 in veteran married students housing when by my dad got his BA and MA. When I went to UCLA to earn my BA I pledged a fraternity right across from where the housing used to be (now a parking). The Olympian Rafer Johnson trained on the athletic fields and Arthur Ashe on the tennis courts. You flew over Royce Hall where I met my wife at a concert and the Math building where the first internet message was sent from UCLA to Stanford, a login (which failed). Too many memories! Thanks, again.
La is where i want to live, so when I found your channel I been watching every video. I live in Colorado Springs. I love these videos.
Michael Gianni I’ll trade you.
"Optimus Prime" ... Hahahaha... you are the best! :)
Eddie Furlong is recovering from his addictions and attempting to regain entry into acting again. He did have a voice cameo in Terminator Dark Fate but that’s the biggest project he’s done recently i’m pretty sure. Terminator 2 is also one of the greatest movies of all time
Unexpectedly one of the most interesting videos I have seen in a while
That curtailed scream really gave me shivers! As you said, NObody wants anything bad to happen to fellow pilots and passengers!
More than we all bargained for, eh, wot?
And again, THANKS! It was SO nice to see the San Fernando Valley again, and downtown LA and Long Beach! Old home week for me.
When you flew over the section near DTLA with the old style bridges, did you think of the movie “Blue Thunder” that featured a helicopter chase through the river & under the bridges? Talk about dating ourselves. That area also makes me think of the movie “Them”. Talk about old!
Deadman3913 Oh my word!!! Blue Thunder!!! That’s right!!! Man, I haven’t seen that in decades. I remember thinking “I am so grown up” when my dad let me watch it and when the naked chick doing her stretches came on I thought “I can’t watch this! I’m just a little kid!!”😂
Also, as a rail fan and model railroader, I noticed at 17:57, you can see the railroad tracks leading into L.A. Union Station. Southern Pacific use to cross that ( formerly) double tracked bridge to head out from the station towards Pomona and their "Sunset Route" line. Santa Fe use to run along the right hand side of the river...north to Pasadena, and south to Fullerton and Riverside. I would also request a rail line fly along.
From 1:28-to 1:31 you fly right over the first house that I ever lived in!! I have a 1959 plat map specifying how much land that the State of California was going to take, for the construction of the southbound lanes of the new San Diego 405 Freeway. The freeway opened brand new in 1963. I have a picture that my grandmother took of me in 1963 standing along the freeway fence in out backyard. You can see the Roscoe Blvd. exit sign in that picture, along with her handwritten notation on the back. Thank you for taking me back. Hope that you enjoy the factoid that I shared, At that same time, in 1963, my dad had his Cessna 172 parked at the Van Nuys Airport.
And 35 minutes later, I am sooo glad that plane was ok! That was kind of scary there for a few minutes. I thought we were going to see a plane just come down right in front of you on the river. This video is going to get way more views.
I could see you visibly shaking a bit when all that went down. I bet anything, you would have turned around and offered assistance to the controller if that Huey hadn't been in the area.
You're a good man Micah, everyone can tell that through all your videos, but in this one, your humanity was clearly evident! Stay safe my friend, and thank you for all the videos you've done throughout these past few months, Very much appreciated!
omg you can hear someone scream when that engine failure call came in. Glad everyone is ok. NIce video Micah
At 3:52 the 405 looks crazy, i never even realized how sloped it is going through the mountains
It was striking seeing Micah's progression of emotion from when the ATC was unable to made contact with the pilot of the plane to the utter relief in his face when he found out the plane was found and undamaged.
ea0529 It hit me hard thinking I’d just heard the pilot’s final words. I’m so glad they made it to the ground safely.
When most folks think of the LA River,., they think of Grease.. or The Dark Knight Rises... or Drive..... or T2... and that doesn’t happen until like the East LA sections of the river.
I also LOOOOVED that wild twist in this video!!! Thankfully everyone came out safe!! 😁❤️
that movie with shuttle landing on it.... lol
Dude your flyovers are my favorite thing on youtube right now. Thanks Micah
Those empty freeways get me every time. Never thought I'd see that.
From Alabama but spent 17 years out west. Made lots of trips to Disney Land as a tour bus operator. Brought back lots of memories., really enjoyed your tour of the LA River.
That was a fascinating flight. I cant think of another city in the world that has hidden its river away quite so brutally as LA. In the 1930's there was debate about how to deal with the flooding issues in the LA basin. On the one hand it was suggested that conserving broad natural channels in which storm waters could spread would also serve as nature reserves, recreational areas and attractive walkways. On the other there was the proposal to deepen and pave a narrower channel which would flush excess water away quickly and allow industrial and residential development. The large landowners could see the benefits of the latter plan so naturally, starting in 1940, concrete and the destruction of the river ecology, removing the possibility of a green-belt across the flood-plain, was what happened.
I was a teenager in the late sixties, and before legal driving age. I lived about two blocks from said riverbed in Maywood. I rode my motorcycle via the riverbed west from around Slauson, down to the Rio Hondo riverbed and then to a huge lot where they stored giant cement irrigation pipes. There were many dirt bike riders there before they finally shut it down. But the riverbed was my hangout.
Dude!!! As a New Yorker it really amazes me to get such an intimate view LA. I love all your videos! Keep posting these, they're amazing!
Same! NY-er here!
LAPD air ops was where Blue Thunder, was filmed.
Loved that movie!
Don't forget the helicopter chase down the river going under the bridges.
Micah our airmanship should be spotless, we got this! I can feel also what you felt as you hear coming down with engine failure. But we airman, we are born and trained for it. we got it. :)
I’ve driven on all these streets in the valley and never noticed the LA River 🤯
Much of the LA River is not visible from city streets/fwys.
You asked why people in England are watching your videos. I love them. I was in LA two months ago for a Fortnite competition. We went to Anaheim, LA, Venice, St Monica and Long Beach, so I recognise many of the locations you fly over.
I only started watching your videos recently and I find them relaxing to watch. Watching the world go by underneath you is somehow calming. I drive trains here in the UK and it's nice to have something to help me unwind. Thanks Micah.
Drag Net and the streets of San Francisco always chasing the Bad guys on the la river! Thanks for the ride 👍@26:26 praying for the lady and everyone on the plane didn't expect that!" 🙏😔
14:35 The foot bridge connected to the Hyperion bridge uses the supports that once held up a rail bridge used by the Pacific Electric railway. Also at 15:47 the "Graffiti Bowl" originally had a turntable used by Southern Pacific to turn locomotives around. That whole area made up Taylor Yard.
Thank you for showing so much of the different railroad lines. So many of them !
WOW! What a ride. Thank you, Micah, for yet again, another GREAT ride and commentary.
Delightful to see my city from a new angle. So many familiar places! Thanks Mr. Muzio, clear skies to you.
As someone from Long Island NY, this was very entertaining to watch.
There is an access to the LA River where Avenue 19, San Fernando Road, Figuroa, and Riverside Drive converge.
You can drive down into the river and that's where they used to train bus drivers. There were still yellow lines on the bottom of the river. That is where I took my wife to learn to drive back in 1969.
Wow!... As always thank you for the ride along. So appreciate these ride alongs.
thanks for taking us on another flight and excellent river tour, glad it all worked out safely, cheers!
Great OPTIMAS prime spotting 👍🏻
I cant get enough of these vids man! I was holding my breath the whole time after that emergency call came through! especially after that scream! OMG
I love waking up to this every morning. Thanks for showing us beautiful scenery!
Wow! That’s insane! I’m glad everyone is okay, and of course, awesome video Micah!😸😸
Definitely, something I've always been intrigued by. Glad you took us along!
Thank u for touring the L A river, I love geography and this vid was a treat and that plane trouble added some drama to it too so this vid is full of great stuff even though people will think this is boring, not to me.
Thanks Micah for another awesome video!!!
I watch your flying video's in their entirty because it's as if I am in the cockpit with you and your flying me around a place I have never been to. Keep it up man!
Total respect and much love seeing how you reacted to that emergency. That scream was scary, sad, nerve wracking. So glad everything turned out ok!
From Fl. Another great video! Thanks Micah
Very nice flight down the LA River! thank you i did not see where I grew up but it was nice to see it anyway!
Great video tour of LA river . Never a dull moment when flying is there
I'm real interested in the river and the bridge architecture (another LA fan). Thanks for the flight.
Micah- Congrats another great interesting video. Thanks !
Awesome...Best Video yet.... Really brings home how huge the LA area is.....
Love the references. Not only does it date you, but me as well. They are good memories so keep those coming.
blessed to call LA my hometown. thank you micah for providing a whole new perspective of a city i always knew.
The Brady Bunch house is at 8:06. Bottom left. It has the new addition covered with a white covering. It backs up to the LA river.
LA you are one BEAUTIFUL CITY! when there is NO SMOG!
Wow that was a great tour....never knew about that river!! Thanks Micah and glad those folks are ok!!
Great video as always! Thank you Micah!
Thank you for providing this public services.
Its really great you make this effort for all us in the community
we humble thank you
Glad everyone was ok. Plane looked to be in good shape. You turned the LA River into an interesting video. Thanks Micah!
From San Diego but always fascinated by LA! This river video was very cool! 🤙🏼
Micah brother! Thanks for an amazing video we are glad they're ok! Wow listened that lady screaming was very scary.
8:08 Home of the Brady Bunch (exterior) - bottom left next to LA River
I lived a block from there for years, and never knew the significance of the house :|
Thanks for that. I would never of found that. It been renovated now
I just popped in to note this. NE of Tujunga and Ventura, been by it a few times since HGTV did that show last year. Fun times.
Found it! The large white covering in the back yard is an indicator that the construction for HGTV’s “A Very Brady Renovation” is in progress.
They completed that reno months ago. That's the 2nd floor addition they built.
This and basic driving videos helped me during quarantine and just plain help by making it feel like I'm going places I want to go without going there. I live just east of the L.A. County border and just love the further west area near the beaches for the view.
Another great tour! The first think I thought of when I read LA River actually was T2, LOL! So glad to hear that that pilot made a safe landing.
Always nice to see a fresh video.
a true serendipity. Thanks. Gorgeous sunset shot at the end.
FAB - U - LOUS! Amazing scenery - thanks for sharing this and all the others!
As an la native I love these videos! Thank you and please don’t stop 👍
This was very cool, it's amazing that the LA River loops around homes and businesses and go unnoticed for the most part. Today is 01/09/23 and we're having HEAVY rains, I would like to see how this LA river looks right now..but it's probably scary! Flying over Woodley Park, I finally got to see a view of the Japanese Gardens, I've never been there yet.
Spent the past several days binge-watching (quaranstreaming?) nearly all your helicopter videos. Really loving the content, the quality, and the virtual visit of the area I grew up in. Thanks for sharing this amazing channel. Godspeed, my friend.
What a tour ‼️I truly enjoyed that flight chopper dude 👌🏼
Got a bit of that sunset in the background near the end. NICE!
I enjoyed that very much. Saw some areas where I grew up and played in the river... rode our bikes... moved to northern Calif in 64 when I was 16. Never saw until now where it entered the ocean. Thanks for the tour.
Amazing video, and so glad the emergency landing went well and everyone was ok. But that scream really got me! I held my breath thinking we were going to hear a crash. The L.A. river was great, how long is it? Watching your videos I always feel like I am in the helicopter looking at the view! Thanks so much! Awesome!
Kiwi Sunshine the LA River is 51 miles
Watching now!!!! Beautiful video. Recommend to everyone. Thank you.
I’m so glad you flew over my ‘hood at 4:45! And this was a real interesting video complete with a nail biter toward the end and
I’m glad N216MS landed safely. Keep up the great work. As an aviation enthusiast, I totally live for your aerial videos!
Nice scenic and informative helicopter views of the LA region. Micah enjoys describing places of interest. Even at couple hundred feet above the ground I can easily see how efficient city planners make use of the land to maximize development and seamlessly integrate roadways insuring traffic can flow reasonably.
Awesome Adventure, Always wanted to run the river... Thanks Man, and glad the aircraft that had engine trouble, made it O.K :)
Glad to see you again after all this time, still kicking in Vancouver BC too......cheers
This was very relaxing...well outside of the end part that is
Wow that was scary I am watching from my living room. I can only imagine how you felt flying in the same vicinity. Thank God they landed safely.
Some crazy stuff hearing from the helicopter with the emergency landing
It was a plane.
Was bron and raised in Maywood Ca. I know live in Az and it was great seeing you film the river where my grandpa and I would walk. From 21:58-23:00. Thank you cuz know when I take my grandkids we too walk that same part of the river. Thank you keep up the great work
Thanks for the ride along.
Wow, I live in Phoenix and so LA is a weekend destination, I enjoy coming over and exploring. Have family in the area. It was like being in the next seat with you. Very enjoyable video and you are such a personable guy. If I ever got my helicopter license I'd never want to come down! Thanks for a great video. I'm gonna check out your others!
LOVED this video. So glad the other pilot is ok.
These are AWESOME! Thank you so much for posting. I lived in Los Angeles for 20 years, but am back in Michigan now. I miss it out there terribly! Love seeing the area from the perspective of the air. Sadly you just missed my old apartment complex on Coldwater Canyon in this episode. Started watching your channel when I saw the video you first posted about the lack of LA traffic. I'm awestruck every time you go over the freeway when I see how little traffic there is. Be safe out there and keep them coming. =)
Thanks for the ride, it was really nice and fun!
