Three Flights with Remote Control Airplane Over Shea Stadium as it's Dismantled

[TheAnnoyingFour]

This is probably really hard/impossible, but it would have been cool if you got it to go into the bowl of Shea. You probably couldn't do that with Citi Field, because it's fully enclosed and you wouldn't be able to see it.

Well Shea is long gone now... so I guess you can't

[Softee64]

as high as I want.... after it gets too high (unless I had binoculars) it's a dot in the sky and I can't even tell what it's doing, so what the point of going that high..... a nice view!

[mannyramirez24]

how high can you fly this plane?

[Dakers11]

Sounds Like YES.

[tevin45p]

i dare u to fly low on the shea stadium station n startle people

[tevin45p]

how do you keep sight of it?

[GoEflight]

very beautiful nice flying too

[highwayknite]

lulz

[XTWIGXX3]

thats cool

[MixesAndStuff]

I'm still calling it Shea.

[redjupiter2]

Wow, almost all the comments are so odd to me. So fearful and worried about the technical aspects, and getting cauht in a passing Jet?! I see am amazingly deft perspective of the destruction of history. The music and plane motor audio mix was perfect, and with each pass I anticipated another tearful look at the great Shea as it crumbled in time. Very nice piece of work!!

[joebiscool]

How high were you, are you professionals?



[Frach438]

BTW I used to live down the road from where they stored all the Mr. Softee trucks. LOL

[Frach438]

I grew up in Richmond Hill. Do they still fly the model planes at Flushing Meadow Park?

[JetlinerXPilotXFSX]

HOW HIGH CAN THAT THING GO?!?!?!?!

[pvtsoap262]

What kind of engine is that cause it pretty power full to go to an altitude of 1000 feet or higher or lower.

[jltaviation1]

Is the trainer you are flying the Super Star 40...??

[EliteHero90]

1.36 a UFO????

[JetlinerXPilotXFSX]

@EliteHero90 Or the sun...

[brx612345]

@EliteHero90 the sun...

[dpcnull]

@AA191roblox Obviously is.

[philfanatic135]

I stood at home plate after shea was demolished

[majorfutz]

what song is that in the background?

[samynonthegreen]

Good job greasing the landing. If I was a bird this is exactly what I would do. Fly over Queens and look at interesting things.

[Softee64]

$600

[Greateightyeight]

How much does a plane like this typically run?

[Rockman668]

Make the plane fly into the Stadium

[nsxfan16]

lol UFO at 1 min 35!

[blazer5345000]

what did they do with the metal scraps?

[bigman12345657]

howd u get the camera to work like that???

[bigman12345657]

awesome video...that stuff is preatty sick sad to see Shea go but hope for new memories at Citi Field

[discotime79]

amazing!! I did not know a remote could go that high. mets baseball it's just not going to be the same without shea stadium. there was somithing special playing at shea. mets and and shea go together.

[antimatterXXXIII]

Larrr-ry, Larr-ry, Larr-ry :)

[jcara17]

Hey, really great footage and flying! This is a bittersweet reminder of days gone by... I watched your video and thought of all the places I sat while in Shea Stadium. Thanks for sharing... as an RC pilot and Met fan this was totally cool! Let's Go Mets! John

[MustangRob2000]

even though i hate the mets, and im a yankee fan, im goin to miss shea stadium

[filipe3361]

how high is that?!?!

[francochat]

Amazing videos! And even if i've been watching baseball and the us open for a long time (on tv of course), i did not know that Shea stadium was so close to the new tennis center before watching these videos.

[brucedoscher]

Thanks for sharing such unique views.

[Stangbanger1989]

Thats pretty good quality from your vid cam. What were you filming with? Nice flying btw...

[lotus6230]

that would suck if it stalled and crashed into the stadium or somewhere u couldnt get it

[starwarsgeekoid1234]

nice

[kjwairsoft]

how much is that plane

[Vanrocco66]

How high can that plane go?

[nova1mike]

very cool. Only thing I would worry about is that this area is so close to Laguardia airport- hate to see that plane get sucked into the engine of a plane taking off. I am sure you know what you are doing though.

[w7mag]

It would only happen once.. :-)

[bost0nterrier]

holy shit where domu get those planes?

[chrysleraspen08]

how do you do that?

[s09smelendez]

dude shut the fuck up dumb ass you dont even know what kind of fucking plane it is so why should you care about others saftey. its to high to lose control so shut he fk up.

[donakaal]

man, that is AWESOME....I love this...only thing I would change is the background music...other than that...you got some GUTS doing this...LoL

[Crashwithabang]

Your a Big Pussy for not even understanding others safety ,you can't post a commet to teach your stupid ass "Your day will come looser"

[cireonmythrown]

who is this directed at? - re:Your a Big Pussy for not even understanding others safety.

As for the rest of the comment, it doesn't make ANY sense at all... and 'loser' is spelled with one 'O'!

[saborules2002]

if they didnt knock it down what would they do with, just let it sit there and pay taxes for no reason

[ENTERTAINMENT35]

they didnt need to tear down shea to make more parking! there was plenty of parking around the area that ppl cud park their cars in like the arthur asche parking a few blocks away.

[ruizcures432]

shea needed to be put to rest after all its been thru its in a new place now heaven R.I.P Shea Stadium

[ENTERTAINMENT35]

what the heck kinda plane are you flying? 1 of those toy things that james bond flew in "you only live twice"?

[cireonmythrown]

fly that plane over during games and park it in the seats to watch for free !!!

[shaqfu3131]

I know planes fly over Shea, did you violate any air space laws? I mean if goose can take down a jet why not your rc plane

[cireonmythrown]

the author replied to a simalar comment.... planes fly much higher than his RC plane...

[warderseeker]

@shaqfu3131 this plane could easily take down a jet liner, on it's approach to the airport, kill 100's of people ,but he got good video

[jimboman11]

absolutly brillaint

[captcaveman4]

Perhaps the greatest idea ever conceived!!!!

[dandaman394]

How did you see that thing so danm far away? Great video the 5 + :)

[bruce326]

Awesome video!!!!! Mets should hire you to fly in the baseball for the first pitch at Citi Field!!!

Great job!!!!!

[prw1968]

Mets couldn't even overtake a team from Milwaukee for the wildcard. They suck and so does NYC.

[Milkman12114]

Lucky no in bound planes to La Guardia.. Good video.

[ukspankedyank]

That Shea Stadium being torn down? I think Beatles when ever I hear shea stadium.. Awesome video though..

[fmg420]

wow this is a great video... what kind of plane is it?

[Softee64]

This is a small trainer called a Super Star.

[grenade2k7]

what if your plane got sucked into an engine of a real plane leaving from Laguardia airport. !

[Softee64]

That would really suck because I wouldn't get the video! In reality though... Real planes fly much higher than my little toy.

RE: what if your plane got sucked into an engine of a real plane leaving from LaGuardia airport?

[warderseeker]

@Softee64 yes, not getting the video back would suck, engine of the airliner that crashed because of it, who cares right, passengers ahhh.. Approach patterns and take-off altitudes are not that different from the height it was, and if the tower had to move guys around for a problem, could easily be same height

[MHLProductions]

wow... first off R.I.P. Shea (i will always love and miss you) .. second off this is the greatest thing since sliced bread

[reechz]

awesome. we can do this and yet we still can't find bin laden!

[RonDarling12]

umm, how do you see where the plane is going no matter how far away it is?

[Softee64]

RE: umm, how do you see where the plane is going no matter how far away it is? --- No, I currently have to keep and eye on it at all times. I do own a pair of FPV goggles, but am still a few weeks away from it's first flight.

[dingo7222]

do fpv mean firstperson view and where do you get them i want em

[viteminj]

This is fascinating. What kind of remote control airplane do you use?

[panic43]

Just a superior, superior job. This is awesome.

[Chick6517]

Okay.. that was a great video! really made ma laugh! I liked it alot! I wanna watch it over and over again now!! I t really had me laughing!

[tjm25]

not gonna lie 7:51 is really upsetting

[frankieb777]

wow - great job.  that was impressive showing the demolish of shea.

[t0xIcInSaNiTy15]

You Should've Landed in Shea

[metsofficalpage]

shea good by its 3/4 done

[dougpoles]

That's an amazing video....what is the range of the plane and how high can it go. I was amazed at the shot you were able to get.

[JimR541]

Great stuff.

[John6697]

That last bit must be recent . theres not much left.good buy to a great staduim.

[Softee64]

That was Feb. 2nd '09 - The Third Flight

[Softee64]

RE: What kind of camera do you mount on there? --- I have a few up on eBay now! -- Item number: 290294427042

[jfattyfatman]

wats the last song that plays?

[Softee64]

it's all one song... i don't put the names/groups up anymore, because the 'artist' removes it!

[NYHammer6284]

Hey Softee did you get this idea from the guy who did the RC fly-over of Tiger Stadium?

[Softee64]

No... I've been flying (over things) for quite a while... see my other videos!

[cireonmythrown]

Best parts of this video are 7:46 & 8:34

[wiedep]

for all of us who live elsewhere - THANX!!!

[wcscargo]

What kind of camera do you mount on there?

[GodzillaBoyNY]

Better becareful flying so close to the airport. Don't want something like the Hudson incident happening again!

Great Video ^_^

[horizonflyer9]

i was at one of the last games at shea stadium. im really gonna miss it!

[onlyrotary1989]

UFO at 1:36?

[horizonflyer9]

no thats a sun spot hting. the camera cant handle the light and just puts a black dot where the middle of the sun is

[richterrana]

Yeah, UFO

[trainboyrob]

what kind of rc plane is this

[Softee64]

One of my first planes, a 'Super Star'. It is a trainer, which gives stable fight for the video. I usually put the camera on my "Reactor" (by Great Planes) but the landing area here is a little small for that big plane.
