I was blown away by how unimpressive LA's skyline was when I was there last month. It felt like Philly or Charlotte. Or Boston. Not even Boston. And the smog was unreal. Nice video though.

I don’t get how helicopters are able to fly over the city like that but they make such a big deal over these tiny drones that prob wouldn’t even hurt anyone even if they crashed.

I've always thought the same thing. It's such a big city by population. But a lot of those cities out west have so many people because they cover such big areas compared to the east coast. Basically I've come to associate big populations with big skylines lol

Lol idc how nice this view is DTLA will never not be the grossest worst part of LA.

There is a reason everyone with money lives in the burbs and nobody has swanky down town apartments like every other city in the country

No, I'd agree to that. We likely don't go much over 50, 55 tops in sharp turns. R44s are little airborne tractors, so anything excessive will make you pucker up pretty hard.

It's hard to tell from this one. Maybe aggressive for a civvy flight, but 🤷‍♂️
