:slob: WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!

You have just done the best aerials I have ever seen of this city for the longest time!!! There is just too much wonder on this thread! I won't be able to sleep tonight (or for days) just staring at these monster aerials!! :worship: Thank you so much!

[Derek]

oh i just noticed the remaining snow :)

lovely:)

[dcmcgov]

Freakin New York. The most overwhelmingly brilliant city on the planet. Beautiful. Abslutely beautiful. What a place.

[Urban Zombie®]

Do you ever get tired of showing up all of the other photographers here?

Seriously, these are disturbingly sick. Each and every one!

[Derek]

^i hope he doesnt...for our sake ;)

[peacefu603]

OH,my god.
so many good photos!

[sfcity1]

Amazing shots. Best NYC from the air thread ever! They just need to add some supertall buildings to that skyline.

[Evergrey]

insanity

[KCgridlock]

Great photos flash. I will be doing the same in May. Looks like you got some altitude in many of those shots. May I ask what type of aircraft you used and what your altitude was? Again, awesome awesome shots!

I like them all, but this is my fav:

Thanks guys.

KC- Airbus A320 - BOS-LGA :)

[KCgridlock]

Thanks guys.

KC- Airbus A320 - BOS-LGA :)

no freaking way...

[BnaBreaker]

Um...wow, that's good.

[ChrisLA]

Amazing photos, seeing these made my day. Man I'm ready to take another trip to NYC, but I can't, might have to visit Dallas this time for a college graduation. :(

[JEH-NYC]

Wow! Pic #1 you can see from Battery Park to the Hudson Highlands!
I can actually make out my building in a couple these, too.
Great work and thanks for sharing! :)

[JivecitySTL]

Squirt!!!

[STLgasm]

Treat me like a farm animal, you giant apple!

[cur_sed]

Wow. Wow.
It's funny, we see so many incredibly shots of all sorts of cities from right around the world - but sometimes it takes a set like this to remind us just who is the reigning champion. NYC (and Flash :P), take a bow.

[M II A II R II K]

Yea it's too bad that scrolling through pictures had to finish!

[fflint]

Flash, you have no idea how much I needed this.

Thank you.

[Independence]

:skyscraper:
Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
:crazy2:
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York

I want to wake up in a city
That doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap

These little town blues
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York

If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York

New York, New York

I want to wake up in a city
That never sleeps
And find I'm King a number one
Top of the list
King of the hill
And number one

These little town blues
Are melting away
I gonna make a brand new start of it
In old New York

And if I can make it there
I'm gonna make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York
New York!!!!!!!!!

[plinko]

You took these from an airliner?

What else is there to say....?

Perfect.

[Buckeye Native 001]

These are made all the more impressive because they were taken enroute to LaGuardia from an airliner. Holy freaking cow... :tup:

[Jularc]

I will be doing the same in May.

Please do so! You are one of the best! :tup:

[dimondpark]

bravissimo!

[keninhalifax]

Good god!

[i_am_hydrogen]

Sweet bejesus

[B'More22]

Un Fricken believable!!!

The king of Density:omg:

[trvlr70]

Incredible. Amazing. Shocking.

Good work capturing the city while on a plane ride. WoW!

[ltsmotorsport]

Oh. My. God.

Thread of the year (already)!


This picture shows exactly why ESB is such a great building. Awesome work.

Simply Amazing.

[Trojan in NYC]

Wow. I need to remember to get a window seat whenever i fly into laguardia.

Great pics.

[mSeattle]

Those are awesome. Some of those east-west views I've never seen. Nice!

[Sacto]

Manhattan look unreal, which I like. Thanks for the photos!

[Jeeper]

Beautiful photos of a city I never get tired of seeing.

[Flash]

Thanks everyone

[spyguy]

Fantastic aerials!

[palemonk]

love the pic of ground zero. doesn't seem like they are doing much with the freedom tower.

[Dylan Leblanc]

love the pics!

[HomeInMyShoes]

Holy zarquon flying fish!

[Ex-Ithacan]

Might need to make a this a first. The first pic thread stickied in city photos. Yup.

[A42251]

Threads like this are what makes me look forward to logging onto SSP each morning. I saw these pics shortly after I woke up and it put a smile on my face for the rest of the day.

[Jonas]

What can I say... this is MENTAL! :koko:

[jeffcon0]

Every once in a while I like to be reminded why I live here. Thanks for the reminder.

[ArchMadness]

Its crazy...from viewing the Above Des Moines thread to viewing this. The entire population of Des Moines could fit into a 10 square block area. Amazing photos...especially from a commercial airliner. Yeah Flash!

[Goody]

oh man you dont have to be a dick about it :(

PS. when are you going to do Boston... :)

[Matty]

Awesome.

You can see me school in a lot of those. :) The white Slanty building on 25th on the East Si-iiiide.

[KevinFromTexas]

Daaaamn. That is a crazy view. And I never realized how the United Nations Building makes that crazy reflection/glare on the water.

[Kroy Wen]

stunning!:D

[Kroy Wen]

God Bless Pittsburgh ;)

^What are you talking about?

[innov8]

Fantastic work.... I like it allot :D

[city dweller]

What do I say when I'm lost for words?
What do I pick as my favorite when I love them all?
How do I comprehend the incomprehensible?
And how do I clean all this piss off my pants after viewing this incredible thread?

In other words
GLORIOUS. :psycho:

[Wheelingman04]

Fabulous work as always!!:tup: NYC's density is astounding!

[kevN_wk]

awesome!!!

[jowens]

The perfect time of day with perfect weather and a perfect seat with the perfect flight plan for some amazing pics. You had to feeling insane shooting this. Great job!

[UglymanCometh]

that was better than sex.

seriously.

[m@!]

absolutely incredible.... amazing!

i can't stand NY athletics but i fell in love with the city from the moment i first visited. i need to go again soon.

[fleonzo]

Best pic thread here!!!

[CarlosV]

I never get tired of NYC fotos.....especially if they are as amazing as these... :)

[Xing]

:eek:

[logicskier]

Holy fucking shit...

Hands down, the funniest reply I have EVER read on this board!

[MSPtoMKE]

Nuts. Just nuts...

[xzmattzx]

Great pictures!

[Jularc]

Again what an awesome job Flash! :tup: I just keep coming to this thread everyday.

[mthq]

a rub-worthy photo thread. Good stuff!

[chris]

siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick...i gotta go back...and SOON!

[SkyWatcher]

Wow....those are fantastic shots!!!!

[gripja]

You took those from a commercial airline? LOL, I totally thought you took a helicopter :). Well I can say views like this are a definite reason NOT to take Acela between Boston & NYC. Nice Approach, the last time I flew into LAG we simply flew over the Sound and straight landed. I'd rather add to the flight 15 minutes for a tour like this.

[Flash]

I suppose air traffic controllers determined that we would take this approach to LGA, because it would seem to make more sense that coming from the north east, that you would just also land from the NE. The pilot came on early and mentioned we would be landing this way, so I determined I needed to switch sides of the plane (I abandoned my girlfriend in her row- hah). At the last minute it didn't seem we were coming in the way I thought (I even tried to confirm it with a flight attendant, but he wasn't totally sure), but we went right up the Hudson and curved around the tip of Manhattan going right over Brooklyn and landed pointing NE.

My stomach seriously hurt getting such a spectacular view of the city. The lady in my row must of thought I was nuts taking so many pictures.

[A42251]

There are two types of people in the world: those who think New York is the greatest city ever built by man and those who just escaped from a mental institution.

that's good!!

[GVNY]

Oh My God!
These Are Not Real!

[dfane]

I just cant help not getting upset with the twin towers not being there though. It just leaves such a void those frigging bastards.

but one of the best threads i seen on here yet though great job.

[mrherodotus]

Urban overload!!!!!!

[ColDayMan]

[EtherealMist]

[BG918]

Very nice. I'll be looking forward to see KC's aerials of NYC as well, with some greenery. It looks like it was pretty cold!

[fleonzo]

[rohanmathur1]

Amazing!!!!

[ItsConanOBrien]

Not sure how I haven't seen this yet. Amazing stuff.

[Ninjatune]

[-GR2NY-]

Flash you modest son of a bitch....

These are disturbing buddy.. you know this?

[volguus zildrohar]

My loins...

[Jeffreyny]

I love how you can see the density right through to the mountains.
The contrast is stunning.
New York is all about contrast.
Fantastic job.
I never tire of this mecca.
