[bigjon18680]

Does anyone know if the tower will be double the height it is now to when it is finished???

[altitude9]

@bigjon18680 Probably not double, but it's final height should be 1776 feet.

[NewWaveFan1]

@bigjon18680 105 floors with a 400 foot radio antenna.

[MrPuddingate]

How long until they finish the tower???

[MrJackonRocks]

@MrJackonRocks Hey dude very nice view HOWEVER one problem you are NOT allowed to deviate from the VFR Corridor! You have to stay OVER THE HUDSON! Additionally you must stay under 1300 MSL, therefore your not keeping 1000' clearance from top of structures. Way to go, when the FAA takes away this privledge to small private aircraft when ONE PERSON RUINS IT FOR THE REST OF US.

Fly safe, or see a local CFI for training..

[altitude9]

@Luckyniki2 Thanks for the watch! Actually, feel free to read the description. This was a commercial flight, on a modified VFR flight plan, coordinated with KLGA, KJFK, KEWR and New York center prior to launch. This was NOT a private flight, and we take our work extremely seriously. For what it's worth, we were cleared a block airspace between 1700-2000', Everything here was TSA cleared and FAA legal!

[Llamaz44]

I'll bet the people on the ground got nervous once they saw a plane flying near the unfinished world trade center... just saying

[altitude9]

@Llamaz44 Thanks for the watch. The Hudson River Corridor handles roughly 200 non-jet aircraft each and every day. New Yorkers are fine with this, and (heh) seldom look up. It's the jet noise that freaks them out.

[TheSpiritof1969]

Look at the horizon. That thick blanket of pollution is not beautiful.

[Labratoria]

Really beautiful, tears roll on the cheek, a beautiful sight.. and combined with the music...

Greetings from Finland! =,(

[altitude9]

@Labratoria Thanks so much! Please feel free to share!! :)

[altitude9]

@fttp211 Thanks for the watch! The name "Freedom Tower" comes from the tower's eventual height of 1776 feet, or the year of our Independence, hence Freedom Tower. It has nothing to do with the incident of 9/11.

[stlcameron22]

I caint wait till its done!!

[BrambleBerry2011]

nice vid! subed.

[altitude9]

@BrambleBerry2011 Thanks for the watch! :)

[anewell41]

Wow I love this video! I subscribed :D

[altitude9]

@anewell41 Thank you so much! Feel free to share!! It would be appreciated!! :)

[awesomeman161]

im so glad one wtc will be done soon

[cheezycam]

Is that a top secret form of propulsion?

[XvalzioX]

Wow thank you so much for uploading this video. Makes me feel very universal and proud in a way I can't explain :p

[ASharmaEarth411]

Very Uplifting, Thanks!

[Antianythingism]

Ok i give props (no pun intended :) to the pilot for trying to do this but seriously, couldnt you have gone about 1/2 a mile or so out then turned about so we could have had a much much longer view of the tower. Between you circling around constantly the tower only stays in view 2 or 3 seconds at a time, most of the time showing the OTHER buildings.

[altitude9]

@Antianythingism Thanks for the comments! This was a commercial flight for "still" photography of the FT (Photographer was sitting "right seat"). This video was simply a byproduct of the maneuvers required for good still photography. Aside from being very restricted with the airspace as to what you can and cannot do with air traffic control, the main purpose was for the stills. Stay tuned (Subscribe!)…there will be more to come with much better views. Feel free to share! :) Thanks!

[jeremy123422]

@OliverDobbsTV right!

[NYBOY75]

MY GOD VERY NICE!!!!!

[OliverDobbsTV]

never thought a city could be as beautiful as nature...

[cartuner555]

What aircraft are you flying? Video looks great.

[altitude9]

@cartuner555 Thanks! C-172S for this particular flight.

[JMCMSU81]

Very nice flying...what kind of a camera setup did you use? Very clear image and stable.

[altitude9]

@JMCMSU81 I used a GoPro Hero2 attached inside with their suction cup. The stability was simply unusually smooth air that day.

[adhikalee]

Thanks for making this video. It's just incredible! :-)

[hunterTS4]

all i got to use for turns around a point during training was a little cow pond............

[hunterTS4]

bad place to hear the old "cough bang"

[altitude9]

@hunterTS4 Thanks for watching! I do have a planned spot for emergencies away from the city, and I'm able to glide to it from this location. It's always on my mind...safety first!

[abstractbybrian]

I love the feeling of the calm of the flight vs's what must be people rushing around to meet deadlines in the city.

[billymach4]

This is a fabulous video shot over lower Manhattan!
