[alicedancewells]

SO COOL !!!! i have been on that litlle plain !! woo lol :)

[LuLuDee123]

hello livs dad :)

[5Airports1Flight]

@LuLuDee123 Hello Liv's friend.

[jonnyb2306]

ABSOLUTELY CRACKIN' - Brilliant flying and brilliant video!

I would love to know all the gear and equipment you used in making this?

I spend about 400hrs per year flying around in light aircraft and have lots of excellent opportunities to capture some stunning footage, but want to know whats the best gear to invest in before i do!  Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated!

Many happy landings!

[mccrudden150]

What Camera did you use for the external shots. Go Pro? And if so what mounts are you using.

Great vid :) 

[roryj123ok]

you did all that in 2 hours?

[5Airports1Flight]

@roryj123ok: Yep, all in two hours. And that included 20 minutes waiting for a gap at Gatwick.

[roryj123ok]

@5Airports1Flight god! were you in a concorde lol

[ezygriff]

Well played, chaps. Friends in high places, eh?!

I like the VNE ILS-to-"go around" at Luton - very Top Gun.

Of course, if you chose Barcelona, Mahon, Palma, Ibiza, Valencia just after lunch, Spanish ATC probably wouldn't even notice, and you could have a lie-in!

[gonoje71]

Nice video. That's what I call a pleasant flight.

[sundek88]

Nice job guys! The volcanic ash helped you to make this wonderful flight! In Italy we have the worst civil aviation authority ever, so in those days, EVERY, I say again, EVERY traffic was grounded.. :@

[BlueNeonSign17]

I didn't know the Welshman knew anything "am O'clock" - would you like a cup of tea!

[DJMilo101]

Awesome!!! I cant get over how light it is at 4:30AM

[PCClark123]

Outstanding! Great video of a great idea. V jealous!

[gonoje71]

Nice video guys, really, very good one.

[fhegner]

good one 5 stars!......now take Paris

[SerOlmy]

Awesome job guys. That must have been an early start to get there before the days traffic started arriving!

[clarkeyboi92]

That was amazing! How do you get clearence for that!?

[AeroMad91]

Brilliant guys!!!

[orenzeloof]

Hi Guys

Excellent video.... inspired me to do the LHR one, just did it this morning in a Tiger.... briliant, next year all 5 !!

[Flystar666]

So what kind of clearance are you issued with to be able to do this. Im guessing special VFR, but what do you actually request?

[pete5668]

I'd like to see you try this in New York lol!

[Boeing1123]

JFK, La Guardia, Teeterbourough, Newark,....and what else? We need one more

[Robusto94]

westchester airport in white plains

[CRENoutdoors]

Long Island Macarthur Airport

[toufikw]

the video was shot in the UK not the US

[BartLCY10]

Goes straight to favorites! Fantastic video!

[a4ol]

Omg wow, just wow!

I wish I could do that, its like a dream!

Here, you would get in some deep dodo getting anywhere near the airport itself probably get escorted by fighter jets :/

[hubbardmediagroup]

Brilliant vid guys! Nice one!

[C4653G]

Great Video guys. That looks like so much fun!

[whufcburkett]

I doth my cap to you gents, that is awesome! I know that was either a Sunday or Monday morning cause of the MD-11 parked on the Fedex ramp at STN (where I work). Cool vid, loved it!

[zlicher]

how the hell did you get the clearence to fly over heathrow most of the time they dont let light aircraft any were near the airport.

[5Airports1Flight]

It helps if you have friends in 185 ft high places.

[musicmanpilot123]

hahaha,

[Goair18]

How did you get transition over heathrow?? Was it cause it was early??

[rsyodi]

Guys my names Yodi and im an Engineer in the cabair Hangar, please come and find me next time you are at the Aerodrome. Thanks

[stuartflys]

Hi Yodi, we no longer fly from Elstree and have moved away from the area. If you would like to get in contact with me then please message 5Airports1Flight and he will forward my email address on to you. Regards, Stu.

[rsyodi]

Hi Stu, will attempt to figure out how to message you now :)

[coolHANDluke91101]

WOW.. so cool..great vid

[chilledoutpaul]

Fantastic video lads More More lol

Paul

[planemadmatt]

Fantastic video! Well done!

You must of had special ATC clearence to do these arials am I correct?

[5Airports1Flight]

Yes, you are correct. They were very special clearances.

[gsexx]

Nice video 5 stars!

[n4bN70]

Great video and song . I love London and its 5 main airports.I must say that LHR looks absolutely superb from the air. Thank you for sharing this video.

Cheers

[RMarvin86]

Really nice

[GreatRailwayJourneys]

Oh and can I ask, how many passes of Heathrow where you lot aloud to do, as it can get quite busy at that time of morning.

[5Airports1Flight]

Thanks for that. The aircraft has been over Elstree many times, but Heathrow just the once - in fact fixed-wing light aircraft over Heathrow is extremely rare. The tower controllers didn't have much to say as there was little traffic to affect. We did two complete orbits of Heathrow before heading on. Traffic starts arriving at Heathrow from 0430 onwards - we got there just before the heavy metal arrived.

[GreatRailwayJourneys]

I love this, I did it on Flight Simulator.

I think I have seen your aircraft over Heathrow and Elstree a few times and I wonder what the air traffic controllers at each airport had to say.

Great Video 5 stars.

[mac1pilot]

Brilliant video guys, well done!!

[airfoxtrot2006]

Can you make more like these please? like how about the midlands airports and the north ones and even scottish ones.

[simngurry]

I hope my wedding video is going to be this good Mr R!! If the offer still stands!

[5Airports1Flight]

Thanks for your nice comments. I'm afraid I can't promise any aerials (unless Stu or J.J. care to oblige), but I can certainly knock you up something tasty if this is what you'd like. I'll fire you an email when I'm next at work. Cheers, Simon.

[stevenbenjamincole]

Just enjoying the video and it dawns on me I know the guy flying!!!!!!!

Nice work Stu (and the boys)!!!!

[stuartflys]

Cheers Ben. By the way nice video of you bungee jumping!

[robbiethehood]

Very nice and stable, publish it in VIMEO for better quality and downloadable original file!!

[alipuk]

Nice video. So it was you buzzing LHR then, I was working the night shift!

How about next time LHR, BHX, MAN, GLA, and EDI?

[johndavidoram]

Thoroughly enjoyed. Can't fault it from editing to choice of soundtrack. That was Stu M wasn't it?

[stuartflys]

Hi John, it was me. One of the best trips in a light a/c so far! There is another video in the editing stage from another fun trip, keep an eye out. Stu

[olimalpa]

I love the music on this video !!!!!

[reckett]

You crazy crazy guys. All done while talking to London FIR no doubt. CA4114 in the post?? Although done "In the know", this is possible for anybody - but for heavens sake don't tell them............whoops...

[5Airports1Flight]

Hi Reckett

No, we didn't talk to the London FIR. Typically, you would contact London Information for transit in Class G airspace. For access to Class A and Class D such as this, you need to speak to the controlling authority of the airspace: Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton in this case.

I don't understand your CA4114 in the post comment. Care to explain?

[reckett]

Sorry.............it was a joke! (it was satirical comment on zone infringements, which I should have made a little clearer since the written word didn't convey the light hearted air of the post). Excellent video, it looked great fun, and Mr R can really put together some wicked footage. Can't wait for the sequel!

[5Airports1Flight]

Heh, don't worry about it.

Thanks for your kind words about the vid. A sequel? I might post some more flying stuff, but you can be sure it won't feature the London airports.

I saw your handiwork. How long did it take to extract the metalwork from Goldilocks' bottom?

[neilcharlton]

fantastic vid , i would love to do it if you have the contacts ? - did you tell stojan what you were going to do before you took off ;-)

[stuartflys]

Hi, unfortunately the opportunity to do this only happens a few days either side of the longest day. Outside that it is too dark to get over Heathrow before the first inbounds arrive. We didn't tell Stojan first - he would only have wanted to come along and as you can see there wasn't much space left inside! Stu.

[airfoxtrot2006]

Brilliant, i do this on FS2004 and its so much better to see it in real life!

[Leezyjet]

These guys must be Air Traffic Controllers themselves, or certainly know people who are to get permission to do that - especially with the orbits !!. Although a SVFR transit could be possible overhead LHR at "O'my god it's early" hour !!. C'mon guys, share your secret - wouldn't mind donig it myself ;) !!

[5Airports1Flight]

Leezyjet - you hit the nail on the head. It's not what you know, but who you know...

...if you know what I mean.

[liamsandie]

How did you gain permission to fly over the airports like that?

Great video by the way.

[bustedsas]

How did u get permissin to fly over heathrow like that?!?!?!?!

[captinkush]

Awesome video....Nice cameras!

[n3odude]

Amazing video. Nice one chaps.

[gytribe]

the early bird catches the worm as they say!

[clampie71]

Duran f..king Duran?

Nice vid though....have a freetime thumbs up from me.

[brightpics]

Where's the sequel then "5 Positions 1 Bird!"

[Winton01]

I'm sure I recognise the miserable fat bloke in the back...

[crwk78]

isn't it Ricky Gervais?

[5Airports1Flight]

Good spot Charlie K. I did consider doing the dance, but was concerned about the effect it might have on our C of G.

[5Airports1Flight]

Yes Dale it's me. Not miserable on this flight though. You've no idea how much fun it was looking down on all your colleagues...

[Winton01]

Oh, I imgine you got untold pleasure doing that old chum.

I have to admit, that video is pretty special and whoever came up with the choice of tune is a fair dinkum genius!!

[5Airports1Flight]

You're too kind. Thank-You.

[bobalong75]

But you missed NATS's jewel in it's crown in the South East in Farnborough!!

[5Airports1Flight]

Actually, LF was part of the original plan, but we were warned off in advance for fear of upsetting the NIMBYs who don't seem to care for aeroplanes at Farnborough at 5pm, let alone 5am!

[bobalong75]

Damn them the damn fools!

[5Airports1Flight]

No worries. In order to get the full set, we went and got Farnborough on another flight. I might post it if I get the time.

[duplex97]

what song is this????

[Almost150]

Great video excellent choice of soundtrack. Ive only flown over gatwick so far, reckon Ive got some catching up to do :-)

[Dreamsaar]

Nice! Amazing pictures of Heathriw with the lights on, makes it look like a city of gold.

How long have you been flying?

*sigh* I'll fly one day...

[simngurry]

Its a hard life at the sharp end of ATC!!!

[5Airports1Flight]

...it is if you climb out of the plane and go direct to your morning shift...

[simngurry]

Still at least you had the thought of an Amamark breakfast waiting, maybe thats not so good........
