An aerial tour of downtown Harrisburg, PA. Departure from Capital City Airport (KCXY) in New Cumberland.
First view is of the New Cumberland Turnpike interchange. Next view is from uptown Harrisburg looking southwest. Then it's City Island, followed by a northward-looking view of downtown. Next is a shot of the capitol and surrounding park, followed by Riverfront Park and a distant look south.

Mostly unedited footage from flying over Centralia, Pennsylvania -- the real-life Silent Hill. See my other Centralia video for a more tolerable version; this is mostly for the benefit of anyone familiar with the area who doesn't mind some shaky camerawork.

Centralia, PA -- the "original" Silent Hill. A mine fire has been burning under this town
Centralia, PA -- the "original" Silent Hill. A mine fire has been burning under this town for over 30 years, but the town still stands -- sort of. Sorry for the shaky quality, but it's hard to get a steady shot while flying that low. For complete, unedited footage, see the other Centralia video in my profile.
This was shot in a Cessna 172SP (N318ME), BTW, with me as pilot. Nancy had the camera in the back seat. The cabin radio speaker was left on for effect, largely because I couldn't route the headset / intercom into the camcorder. As we were filming this, one of the plane's alternators failed and went unnoticed for a minute or two. This region of PA is *not* a fun place to do a field landing, especially at that altitude.
FYI, for anyone planning to visit: Centralia is not listed on some modern maps. It's located near Ashland, PA. Take I-81 to Route 901 north (exit 116?). Follow 901 north a long way, turning right at the first stop light. Turn left at May's Restaurant (immediately after the baseball field). When you see the "DANGER - UNDERGROUND MINE FIRE" signs, you're at the base of the now-closed 4-lane highway seen in the video. Use extreme caution.
