Australia is like a giant California, laid back and plenty of beaches, all our cities are close to the beaches. Weather is probably similar to Cali. Laguna Beach: from the show OC, that turned into the show: The Hills, which my wife and I use to watch back in our younger days, it gave us inspiration to visit USA/Cali twice in the last 5 years.
Viewer from Australia chiming in - I watch primarily for the same reasons I watch all of your content; your personality and presentation, that's really the key. Certainly I have a big interest in the subject matter - I find the aerials fascinating for the perspective they provide and my own interest in the US, but I wouldn't watch a similar flyover with no commentary or presented by somebody who wasn't engaging and entertaining, it's your contribution that makes all the difference. That applies to your other content too, there's 100's of car channels I could chose to watch, but yours (and KBB, shoutout to Lyn too, she's fantastic) is one of the few I watch and support because the subject matter itself is only one ingredient, it's the presentation and personality that makes all of the difference. Keep up the great work Micah, I love all of it.
Loved the fact you started as a janitor. Humble beginnings make the Joy's of life even greater. Where there is beauty there is hope. We need and will have it all together again! BEAUTIFUL CALIFORNIA, BEAUTIFUL WORLD.
16:16 Hey, Micah, I'm from England, too. I get quite emotional when you fly around Long Beach. I went there in 2016 and stayed at the Renaissance Hotel. My first time to America. I went to Vegas for a week and then to LB for another. Loved LB. I watch your videos just to catch a glimpse of Waterfront/North Pine. Thanks. 👍
Melbourne Australian watcher 🇦🇺 here, love the videos, have visited the US about 8 times, had flights booked for November 2020 but now postponed.. the videos are great, brings back memories of the beautiful LA weather, loved the theme park videos, been to them all many times. Keep the videos coming.. great entertainment 👍
Hey Micah from England, would love to visit LA at some point, loving your helicopter videos gives a whole new perspective on Los Angeles! Keep up the good work! :)
Brisbane, Australia here 🇦🇺 It's great to see the aerial view compared to the hire car view. Have been to the USA a number of times and am super keen to get back. Your vids take the edge off the travel withdrawals, so a mighty big Aussie thankya for that 👍
Yep. I'm 75 & lived in the OC etc for 40 years & never heard that. It's either Pacific Coast Highway or PCH. Not to criticize just a personal observation.
@Harrison Ford will kill someone with his plane People have used the term Cali for decades. Rapper LL Cool J refers to California as "Cali" in "I'm going back to Cali" circa 1987. That being said, it's a term not really used by locals AFAIK
@Harrison Ford will kill someone with his plane Yes, but the term has been in use for decades. Thankfully, you don't hear it much locally but I've heard people in the UK, Germany, and Canada use it when I tell them I'm from California. Eech
Brisbane, Australia here reporting for duty. Love helicopters and love your chilled out positive personality. Also, California looks very similar to where I live, and the Gold Coast which is 45 minutes down the road from me. The weather, land, and the mentality of people seem the same to me. So I can relate, without living there. Keep up the awesome content mate.
Honestly, one of my favorite drives is the 5 freeway going south from Irvine to capo Beach in South OC, usually traffic just flows and on a bright sunny day with the windows down, its a beautiful drive.
Greetings from Germany. I've been to California for vacation the last three summers. This year I probably can't go. So it's nice to get some impressions on TH-cam at least
Brisbane Australia!! although i am originally from L.A. but moved down under 5 years ago... I love this more so because i always loved flying my drone and getting those amazing views... but drone regulations make it impossible to fly like that anymore... really really wanting to get my Private Helicopter license just for that
Hi from Melbourne, Australia. Love your video's. Never been to the US but these are great views from my couch. You're the freewayjim of the air. Would a fly over of Carmel Valley be too far for you? And can you do those mountains in the background from L.A?
@@freakout247 on the enstrom website,they estimate that this helicopter costs around $269 per hour to operate, that is for all the scheduled maintenance and fuel.. if you wana fly helicopters for cheaper maybe you can look into the mosquito XE helicopter,its $30k and cheap to operate
I'm gonna get this in before I watch the video and it gets lost in the comments: Would it be possible for you fly along the L.A. River? Maybe from Long Beach up as far as you can go. Lots of movie locations and varying neighbourhoods to pass through. Big fan from London!
Hi Micah, I've been fortunate to have visited your beautiful country two years ago, where me and my son did 2200 mls in a Ford Expedition from San Fran through Yosemite and Death Valley to Vegas and LA and back to SF along the coast, and just can't wait to come back to see more of California one day :) Your videos are amazing and bring me to places I would never be able to see without you ! Many thanks from Northampton UK :)
Washingtonian here wishing all you beautiful California people health & happiness throughout all this mess. Thanks for another epic flyover tour of some sweet spots!
To answer your question. We are from Australia and we have been watching all your flying videos because we usually go to California 3 or 4 times a year and now we can’t. We were last there at Christmas but now we have to live vicariously through you. Great footage and commentary make it a very pleasant experience. Thank you!
Harrison Ford will kill someone with his plane. Haha. We used to live there, but our business and family are in Australia so that’s where we live now. It will be interesting to see how long it is before we can come there again.
Adelaide, Australia. My wife and I feel at home in California. It's on the way back arriving in Australia where we experience the culture shock and feel home sick when we're away for too long. Your videos have alleviated much of it. Fantastic content. Car reviews too!
"That Place" is the Portobello Estate. My friend's father was the owners/builders business partner for many years. The owner had several local properties and some out of state too. Even had his own aircraft at KSNA. Good stuff. I knew you would fly over it. It had a theater, underground garage, bowling alley, the kitchen was a diner inside, and a jewelry store type of thing to hold his wife's treasures. Laguna Beach, my grandparents lived there. In fact my grandfather went down Laguna Canyon Highway (then road) in a horse and buggy in the early 1900s. Too bad you couldn't fly down low along the Camp Pendleton area. Rah!
Hello from Gold Coast Australia, never miss your content, why? California fascinates me , though I have been there twice before , a land of Beauty and amazing people. Thanks 😊
Did you see all the morons out protesting yesterday in HB? Of course all bunched together without masks. Hope they aren't going home to elderly or otherwise compromised loved ones. But deep in my evil heart I'm hoping they do!
Love your flyover! I'm in Anaheim. My point of reference for Laguna Beach would be where the 134 hits PCH right at the ocean. I love going to Laguna to visit Selanne's Steak House. It's DELICIOUS!! Best food EVER! It's owned by the Hall of Fame hockey player, Teemu Selanne.
Hey Micah, I’m from NZ and love your flights. We were supposed to visit there but due to the lockdown this is the closet we get to being there. Keep the cool videos coming.
Hey Micah, contacting you from Newcastle England, my wife and I have been coming to California since early 2000's, we have friends we visit in Lake Forest and Jamul San Diego. We mostly visit for vacation, Disneyland, San Diego Zoo, Newport Beach, Supercoss at Angel stadium and Petco Park. We go MTB riding at Aliso Canyon, Whiting Ranch etc, dirt bike riding, Fox Raceway, Perris, Glen Helen etc. Absolutely love the lifestyle, we loved your Disney and Angel stadium fly over's. Fantastic videos and commentary keep up the good work (maybe another Disney fly over from a different direction?) Thank so much for the videos we love watching them........................
Growing up in Santa Ana, South Laguna, Victora state beach, and Treasure Island were my favorite hangouts. I noticed that they removed the historic Treasure Island trailer park, what a shame I had friends who lived there and it was a great place to chill, point of interest of the park was a trailer that was used in the Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz movie, The Long Long Trailer.
I don’t know why TH-cam recommended this video to me, but I watched the whole thing and loved it. So much so that I subscribed to your channel, thanks for sharing your video. I grew up in the Valley in the 60’s-70’s, but always felt like a foreigner when we visited/surfed the OC beaches, so we rarely went there. You asked about Laguna...I have two reference points. I worked with a guy in Vail, Robert, who used to own the Fahrenheit 451 bookstore there and I am a fan of author Don Winslow, who often features Laguna...most extensively in his novel “Savages”. Great book. I have owned a Cherokee for 36 years, based in Boulder, and feel the same way you do about flying for fun, not compensation. Although I wouldn’t mind getting a type rating if some rich person wanted me to pilot his G550. Yeah, right.
I was wondering when you were going to fly over Laguna Beach. I’m from NorCal and have some cousins that live close to Laguna so I’ve been there a few times
These videos are getting me SOOO HYPED because I’m moving to Los Angeles in 3 weeks and it’s been a good way to see the layout of the state and take in how dope it is! And ps if you ever wanna take a subscriber for a ride I am 100% down
Hi from Sydney Australia, AVGEEK here, you turned up in my suggested vid's - blame utube :). Gotta say, your "fly with Micah" vids a great, I'm amazed you can fly all over LA as you do. I have been to LA 5 times or so, interested to see the tourist traps I've been too. Love the different camer angles too. Thanks for sharing!
Super cool flight over the shore line Micah, and yes a flight to Santa Catalina Island would be an epic. I used to fly from El Monte (KEMT) To Santa Catalina (KAVX) in a cherokee and the view was unforgettable, and I'm sure that it would be very different in a Hello. And the reason You were not seeing birds is because prob they in a Lockdown as well from Covid19:).
Well Micah i just happened across your videos tonight while browsing You Tube & i have to say i'm very impressed. You are very knowledgeable, personable & make it very interesting. And for me living in So. Calif & Orange County most of my life was like going back in time. I was lucky enough to have lived in Newport Beach as a young guy. So thank you for the trip down memory lane.
Thank you for being so cool! Seriously love the call outs and I'm planning on making a trip out to LA so this is kinda showing me some great places to visit. Love the houses you showed holy moly some crazy places in LA. Btw where those Harrier Jets at the end? Keep it up!
L.A. native. South Orange County resident. Loved seeing images of my local beach, Salt Creek! Sending best wishes to all of your viewers from Australia, NZ, and the UK!
I don't normally comment on California politics because it's such low-hanging fruit... but that state-wide beach and park closure was an especially cocknozzle move even by the standards of California politics.
This was a great one Micah. I am reading "Two years before the Mast" by Charles Dana and never really had much of an idea what Dana Point looked like from the air. Very Cool ! Yeh, don't turn your fun hobby into a job unless you want to wreck your hobby !
Thanks for keeping the cameras going so I could see Camp P. and O'side. I used to live there and miss it terribly. Loving the videos, and my beach choice would be Solano Beach. Not in your vid, but I liked it there. Stay safe, thank the wife and kiddo for letting you live your dream.
Micah, what's the FAA protocol on landing your helicopter on a non airport site? Rooftop, Football field, etc. Obviously assuming you have the property owner permission.
its the helicopter thats the trespasser in their world , so keep in mind that your the uninvited guest , and all will be well .............. with luck.
Wow!!! That was the coolest view ever! At Two Rock Point 17:19 The houses on the cliffs with the beach right there were just breathtaking. If I was a multimillionaire, that's where I would live. I live in Wichita, Kansas and we don't have anything even close to that. Thank you for doing these flights, they are amazing! How much was your helicopter and how much does the maintenance cost for it for a year? Maybe do a video on that. I'm sure I can't afford it but all of us would still like to know. If that's ok of course.
From Norway! We have some stunning nature here as well but nothing like the beaches you have in SoCal! I found myself switching back and forth between the video and Google Maps to check out those houses (mansions). Love the videos, keep em coming! :)
Wolverhampton, UK checking in. Flying over L.A gives us a much more realistic view of the cities and landscapes you live in than Google can (and it does pretty well). You're also an engaging host and a bright spot in some pretty dismal times. Keep at it sir, and if you get the chance I quite like the Petersen Automotive Museum facade - might be nice to see it from up high.
Micah, I don’t think you realize how relaxing and fun these fly alongs are for us in these unsettling times. It truly is amazing and relaxing to see the coastline from this perspective. Another awesome video. Thank you for doing this. ❤️🤘🙂
Bub. What yoyu do is so good that you don't understand your audience is worldwide. So. Living in LA. OK. But I would say the rest of us are fascinated and have a much bigger picture. Rock it.
This is the BEST!I don’t know if I can fully express my appreciation for this video flight! This lockdown/shutdown has depressed me, even tho I’m a FedEx driver and get to be out. Seeing this gorgeous skyline confirms my 50 year passion for Southern California... too me 40 years to get here. This made me forget the politics for almost 26 minutes. Great job Micah! See ya instagram
Cape Town, South Africa - Love the videos, keep em coming. Find them relaxing and you have a good balance between talking about the houses and beaches and the helicopter flying (being a student pilot I wouldn't mind more of the helicopter info/references when flying :)
Love your videos ! Really want to get my helicopter rating even more now. Btw the SNA tower seemed busy because the controller was combined doing both ground and local control (tower)
Hey, Great videos. Can you let us know when and where you are a little time ahead of your flight so we can watch you on flightradar24. We are in the uk. Keep safe.

Of all the beaches in this video, where would you most like to live?
San Clemente Beach, becuase I already live there.
Whichever one I could afford.
lived at most of them in sol cal, prefer it here in the smokey mtns.
Fly over here to Catalina. Ill be outside and wave haha. love ur videos man
I hope you get paid for us watching to pay for that fuel. Lol
Man, I've lived in Southern California all my life, but I've never seen our coastline quite like this before.
Jelly. I hope you appreciate how amazing your home is
Australia is like a giant California, laid back and plenty of beaches, all our cities are close to the beaches. Weather is probably similar to Cali. Laguna Beach: from the show OC, that turned into the show:
The Hills, which my wife and I use to watch back in our younger days, it gave us inspiration to visit USA/Cali twice in the last 5 years.
Do your taxes and governmental control prevent you from enjoying the land? Asking for a friend.
Western Australia [Perth] has a similar climate to Southern California
That's NOT GOOD!
I live in OC it really is pleasure everyday, beautiful weather.
Kelly Robson yeah except Australia has a fuck ton of dangerous animals from jellyfish, alligators, snakes, spiders, wild fucking dogs...

why they pay good
Evening from Melbourne Australia, enjoying this content immensely.
I did a helicopter ride in Sydney once.
Agreed Raiders. I think it is the warmer, sunny conditions that I am partly jelly of!
@Maw Fah He lives in La. I don't think a helicopter will complete the journey across the ocean.
All teary-eyed this morning from watching this. Made me REALLY homesick for south OC. Thank you for the wonderful videos.
It just gets nicer the further south you go.
As far as scenery - for sure. Pendleton is a military base and as such all the land is pretty much left alone
Steven Strain beaches still gets nicer even tho it’s mexico
So true! Water is clearer and more turquoise
It depends if you prefer rugged beaches or sandy beaches.
I’m from Queensland in Australia, just love learning more about the city. I find the flyover videos really calming and informative. Cheers mate
16:16 Hey, Micah, I'm from England, too. I get quite emotional when you fly around Long Beach. I went there in 2016 and stayed at the Renaissance Hotel. My first time to America. I went to Vegas for a week and then to LB for another. Loved LB. I watch your videos just to catch a glimpse of Waterfront/North Pine. Thanks. 👍
Stephen Esseenyne Thanks for watching, mate! Here’s hoping you can return to Long Beach sometime soon.
Cna you fly over south Orange County like mission viejo and RSM?
I would also love to see that!
Coto de caza

In my 71 yrs, its been called PCH, never heard anyone call it The PCH.
Exactly.
Yep. I'm 75 & lived in the OC etc for 40 years & never heard that. It's either Pacific Coast Highway or PCH. Not to criticize just a personal observation.
@Harrison Ford will kill someone with his plane People have used the term Cali for decades. Rapper LL Cool J refers to California as "Cali" in "I'm going back to Cali" circa 1987. That being said, it's a term not really used by locals AFAIK

Another great video.👍🏻
Watching from Queensland Australia.
LA is fascinating, bit like Australia on steroids.
Hi from Tasmania, Australia. Really enjoy flying along for the site seeing.
Brisbane, Australia here reporting for duty. Love helicopters and love your chilled out positive personality. Also, California looks very similar to where I live, and the Gold Coast which is 45 minutes down the road from me. The weather, land, and the mentality of people seem the same to me.

dude, i saw you when you filmed this. i came outside and was like "wow, that person is flying pretty low"
Us Brits love your country and so that’s why we watch your video’s
Brits certainly do love visiting California.
No, it's PCH. Kids from the IE say "The PCH"!
100% always PCH, never "the PCH"
Tying things back to cars, how about you show us some of your favorite driving roads in SoCal?
Shh we don't want these roads crowded.
Mulholland might be cool! And everybody already knows about it...
Glendora Mountain Rd.
Sir Henry Morgan Yes yes yes!!! 🙌
Honestly, one of my favorite drives is the 5 freeway going south from Irvine to capo Beach in South OC, usually traffic just flows and on a bright sunny day with the windows down, its a beautiful drive.
Great video Micah! Can you fly over Rancho Santa Margarita and Santiago Peak saddleback mountains and Cleveland National Park I.e. holy Jim falls
That house at 14:39 😧 I’d like to be friends with whoever owns that
thanks for these amazing video , its definitely a "California Dreamin' " type of video for most of us , please fly over Malibu if possible
This is awesome lockdown therapy. Greetings from Denmark :)
I’d want to live near Corona Del Mar Beach!
Daniel Jong my Mom lived on Fernleaf for thirty eight years. I went to Corona Del Mar High School. It’s beautiful but way to crowded.
Aussie helicopter pilot wanna be. Been to states twice and drove the pch. Love seeing it from this perspective
This dude really got me feeling nostalgic for places I haven’t visited in barely even 2 months
Hi Micah ,
I'm watching from Dublin Ireland , jealous of your helicopter travel . wonderful commentary.
Looking forward one day to visit California 😊
I'm loving your vids. I grew up in SoCal, and went to University there. You're taking me back!!
Greetings from Germany. I've been to California for vacation the last three summers. This year I probably can't go. So it's nice to get some impressions on TH-cam at least
As soon as you hit Newport, god it was like I was like mesmerized by the beauty....the ocean, the cliffs, the houses. The wedge, wow
From Latrobe Valley in Australia. Looking to move to LA or Vegas in the next 3-5 years. Follow you on Instagram & TH-cam! Love the videos!!
This felt like I took an indoor vacation. Awesome!
lol ,,, whats that down there ,, I see something expensive ...says the man with a helicopter. lol
Brisbane Australia!! although i am originally from L.A. but moved down under 5 years ago... I love this more so because i always loved flying my drone and getting those amazing views... but drone regulations make it impossible to fly like that anymore... really really wanting to get my Private Helicopter license just for that
I miss Huntington Beach
Hi from Melbourne, Australia. Love your video's. Never been to the US but these are great views from my couch. You're the freewayjim of the air. Would a fly over of Carmel Valley be too far for you? And can you do those mountains in the background from L.A?
How much does a flight like this cost you in fuel?
The helicopter burns around 16gallons per hour of avgas.the average cost of avgas in the US is $4.50/gal.
@@freakout247 on the enstrom website,they estimate that this helicopter costs around $269 per hour to operate, that is for all the scheduled maintenance and fuel..
if you wana fly helicopters for cheaper maybe you can look into the mosquito XE helicopter,its $30k and cheap to operate
What would happen if you just randomly did a "touch and go" on the beach? Would you get chased by police?
I'm gonna get this in before I watch the video and it gets lost in the comments:
Would it be possible for you fly along the L.A. River? Maybe from Long Beach up as far as you can go. Lots of movie locations and varying neighbourhoods to pass through.
Big fan from London!
This would be amazing
Send him a DM on his IG - he is good at responing.@Micahmuzio
@@msnandimarie7023 I'll give it a shot, thanks!
New LA river video just uploaded, check it out!

Hi Micah, I've been fortunate to have visited your beautiful country two years ago, where me and my son did 2200 mls in a Ford Expedition from San Fran through Yosemite and Death Valley to Vegas and LA and back to SF along the coast, and just can't wait to come back to see more of California one day :)
Your videos are amazing and bring me to places I would never be able to see without you ! Many thanks from Northampton UK :)
Greetings from South Australia, Love that your just cruising round in a helicopter man, also across some iconic American Lanscapes!
Loved the video mate keep up the great work

Same to you bud
Thanks from Sydney Australia, love your videos!
To answer your question. We are from Australia and we have been watching all your flying videos because we usually go to California 3 or 4 times a year and now we can’t. We were last there at Christmas but now we have to live vicariously through you. Great footage and commentary make it a very pleasant experience. Thank you!
Harrison Ford will kill someone with his plane. Haha. We used to live there, but our business and family are in Australia so that’s where we live now. It will be interesting to see how long it is before we can come there again.

Thank you for the beautiful video!
......and those lovely beaches continue 1200 miles north to where I live , thanks for another great video
Micah-What's the range of your helicopter?
Thanks for positive responses, i guess the trolls fell asleep
Hello from Gold Coast Australia, never miss your content, why? California fascinates me , though I have been there twice before , a land of Beauty and amazing people. Thanks 😊
My home! Grew up on Costa Mesa/Newport border and it was a wonderland to say the least. My god what a gorgeous day for flying! Thanks again Micah!
Congrats on making your dream happen. Inspiring story.
Huntington Beach is the Florida of California.
Definitely can confirm
(totally not from Newport mwahaha)
Edgy
True! Lol

L.A. native. South Orange County resident. Loved seeing images of my local beach, Salt Creek! Sending best wishes to all of your viewers from Australia, NZ, and the UK!
Absolutely ZERO sign of "sea level rise". Huh. It's exactly as it was when I was born there 60 years ago. Balboa peninsula still unthreatened.
I don't normally comment on California politics because it's such low-hanging fruit... but that state-wide beach and park closure was an especially cocknozzle move even by the standards of California politics.
This was a great one Micah. I am reading "Two years before the Mast" by Charles Dana and never really had much of an idea what Dana Point looked like from the air. Very Cool ! Yeh, don't turn your fun hobby into a job unless you want to wreck your hobby !
I love that book... I have had a 1950's edition for years (with the added section at the end)... last Xmas my wife bought me a first edition.
Thanks for keeping the cameras going so I could see Camp P. and O'side. I used to live there and miss it terribly. Loving the videos, and my beach choice would be Solano Beach. Not in your vid, but I liked it there. Stay safe, thank the wife and kiddo for letting you live your dream.
You'll get more comments from English speaking nations.
What about Canadians?
@@jerryortiz909 Canadians are too smug to watch videos of the US.
@@jerryortiz909 Canadians speak Swahili.
@@Cm22c Nooooooooo.... Canadians just don't feel the need to announce that they're Canadian.
Micah, what's the FAA protocol on landing your helicopter on a non airport site? Rooftop, Football field, etc. Obviously assuming you have the property owner permission.
Uncomfortable relationship with birds? But the bird is the word
Avery the Cuban-American bird, bird, bird. Bird is the word.
its the helicopter thats the trespasser in their world , so keep in mind that your the uninvited guest , and all will be well .............. with luck.
Wow!!! That was the coolest view ever! At Two Rock Point 17:19 The houses on the cliffs with the beach right there were just breathtaking. If I was a multimillionaire, that's where I would live. I live in Wichita, Kansas and we don't have anything even close to that. Thank you for doing these flights, they are amazing!
How much was your helicopter and how much does the maintenance cost for it for a year? Maybe do a video on that. I'm sure I can't afford it but all of us would still like to know. If that's ok of course.
From Norway! We have some stunning nature here as well but nothing like the beaches you have in SoCal! I found myself switching back and forth between the video and Google Maps to check out those houses (mansions). Love the videos, keep em coming! :)
Love your videos...Thank you!! 😊
Where's my fellow Huntington Beach residents at??
Wolverhampton, UK checking in. Flying over L.A gives us a much more realistic view of the cities and landscapes you live in than Google can (and it does pretty well).
You're also an engaging host and a bright spot in some pretty dismal times.
Keep at it sir, and if you get the chance I quite like the Petersen Automotive Museum facade - might be nice to see it from up high.
Micah, I don’t think you realize how relaxing and fun these fly alongs are for us in these unsettling times. It truly is amazing and relaxing to see the coastline from this perspective. Another awesome video. Thank you for doing this. ❤️🤘🙂
Bub. What yoyu do is so good that you don't understand your audience is worldwide. So. Living in LA. OK. But I would say the rest of us are fascinated and have a much bigger picture. Rock it.
Could you fly over UCLA, Bel Air, and Beverly Hills areas?
Hi from South Africa. Been loving these helicopter videos. Thanks Micah
Do a fly over skid row
This is the BEST!I don’t know if I can fully express my appreciation for this video flight! This lockdown/shutdown has depressed me, even tho I’m a FedEx driver and get to be out. Seeing this gorgeous skyline confirms my 50 year passion for Southern California... too me 40 years to get here. This made me forget the politics for almost 26 minutes. Great job Micah! See ya instagram
Hi I’m from England, love watching your videos. I will probably never get to California but it’s interesting seeing it from the air.
Can you fly over the Lucas Museum construction site in exposition park? Or maybe exposition park as a whole?
Cape Town, South Africa - Love the videos, keep em coming. Find them relaxing and you have a good balance between talking about the houses and beaches and the helicopter flying (being a student pilot I wouldn't mind more of the helicopter info/references when flying :)
Love your videos ! Really want to get my helicopter rating even more now. Btw the SNA tower seemed busy because the controller was combined doing both ground and local control (tower)
My family in Mexico loves your videos, because they see all the pictures I take on IG.
I live in Southern California and I love your flyovers
Im happy to be born here in Southern California , love my beaches
Hey, Great videos. Can you let us know when and where you are a little time ahead of your flight so we can watch you on flightradar24. We are in the uk. Keep safe.
