I have lived in Los Angeles for 32 years, and still love it. The city is spectacular from the sky at night. I worked for a law firm on the 53rd floor of a downtown Los Angeles high-rise, and the view of the city, plus the sunsets 20 miles west, were magnificent.
I grew up in San Diego. I was born in Tokyo, and lived on a large Navy base in Yokohama until I arrived in the U.S. I moved to Los Angeles in 1983. Aside from three years in Las Vegas, Los Angeles has been my home. Yes, the traffic is awful, the housing prices are ridiculous, but I still love it here. San Diego was a little town when I lived there. Now it's the second largest city in California. Amazing!
I dreamt of going there as a 16 year old. Then college admission results came in... Now this is my version of "boulevard of broken dreams". I can still go there if i try hard enough but its like, every dream has a base, if that is destroyed, the dream no longer exists.
I’ve been watching this video since it was first put up. I finally visited LA for the first time last week and you can bet I put this song on during the final approach. Absolutely magical.
My God, look at the view the pilots have @ 2:00 Breath taking. I watch this video all the time, and never get tired of it. The city lights, the ocean, the sunset...this is one of the perks of having an office with a view! And the quality is top notch. Best flight vid on the web
One of the all time best shorts I have ever seen and the music is awesome! I loved it. Being an aviation historian with focus on 1920's Los Angeles it is mind boggling the way the city and air travel has changed. Thanks!
Thank you for publishing this. The visual is ...no words for breathtaking. The lyrics are very cool and I can relate to and even had to laugh out loud, especially when your car breaks down in the heat of Los Angeles. It brought back a fond memory of a friend of mine who passed away recently. We drove up to Hollywood to sell a dish to Capital Records...an amazing building, anyways...long story short his car kept overheating and it was a hot summer day, we couldn't use the air conditioner...eh?! Love your post. Great song!
@@twoarrows2543 Mr Marx created a hell hole for his own personal family too and every place they have tried Marx's utopia. Stupid people have short memories that the politicians depend on. This is why RUclips gets censored.
Every city looks beautiful during the night. If this were taken during the day we would see just how ugly of a shithole LA actually looks like from the air.
About 10 years ago I watched this video in university and since then it’s been always in my mind. Today it came to me again and here I’m rewatching it! Beautiful view, perfect music.
west side is sprawling, it's already pretty much the tech hub of the world with all tech companies located all over CA and up to Washington. Not to mention the entertainment industry (Hollywood) that dominates the world
I would have picked the music from the final test of flight school (GTA Five, single player). The one at dusk/night. So relaxing and beautiful while flying, the pretty city lights beneath you.
Yep ! But If it was me, I would jump of the plane and land with my parachute,, watching the plane burning into flames after he brutaly hit the ground. 😈 (in gta) :p
LA is so beautiful. I can't wait to move there. All of my family says it's bad over there and to expensive. I don't care what they say. I'll be on a plane as soon as I move out. I ❤️ LA.
+ClassyAct why you say that cuz traffic thats no biggy trust a least for me i cant deal with it new york thats what thats all about traffic and california is amazing you need to explorer and do something not just be there and not do notting
I was 24 when I arrived in Los Angeles from the Philippines --- on April 3, 1985 --- to start a new life in America. I'm now 64 and retired. I ❤ L.A. now more than ever.
Okay. This was badassed. I typically don't like aviation videos with music since I want to hear the actual sounds but this was so fitting. Since you pulled up at the United terminal I'm assuming this was a United flight (Or Continental, depending on how old this was.) What kind of aircraft was this?
I've never heard of this band and accidently wander upon this video by chance.....what an awesome video and song! Though I've never been to LA, landing at LAX seems relaxing due to this song. CELEBRATE!!!!
Retired geology professor, the Dirt Doctor sent me this video many years ago. He's since passed and gone but not forgotten. It may be the perfect blend of sight and sound, perfect for RUclips!
This was totally amazing, LAX is my most favorite airport by fare. Even though it has been over 30 yrs, that I have only felon out of LAX on the Red-eye a few times.I truly enjoyed this clip, I love flying and this gave me awesome rush. Thank you for the great memories. I love LA !!!
Very nice act off the Captain that he/she is switching off the Taxi-Light when the emergency-vehicles approaches so that they can go! Very nice....AND, of course, very beautiful Video!
NEVER get tired of watching this....LOVE this video, LOVE the music!!!...this is the closest I will ever get to flying my own plane!...LOL!...Whoa!...over a million views!!!...yeah!
Ronald Reagan It sure highlights the city. I saw L.A. at night on the trip home. Also saw some towns. Inhabited places sure look interesting from 36,000 feet.
Right from 2011,I might have watched this wonderful video umpteen number of times. Believe me I am not getting tired.What a music! Hats off to martinba11
maria cornwallis Not just that... it´s in time lapse the whole time.. thumbs down. (martinba11 it may be L.A. but your not a 'movie' producer...) Otherwise would've been great!
i LOVE this music, it depends who you are and it's in your opinion but it depends on what music you like you can't say it's crap as that's basically a fact
Matt Sneddon Don't be so touchy, music is a very personal thing - I watched it with the sound off because the music was not to my liking and I've never heard Bieber. I also thought the speeding up of the video spoiled it.
nice song for los angeles and very beautiful place in the world los angeles i hope that i will be see this place.. bcoz los angeles is my dream city.....

Miki Osep please tell me that this place is very expensive ?
Did i get veg food over there ☺
Downtown LA is a high crime shithole. I dare you to walk around alone after 8 pm without shitting your pants.
One of my all time favorite youtube videos. I have been watching it again and again for over a year and still don't get tired of it :D

Five years later, and it's still the best cockpit video on RUclips!
Don't settle for watching at that 😉. Maybe it's time to flight in real life. I can relate, easier said than done...
i'm trying to get a job at one of the the big 4 tech companies... working at google in a big city like LA would be a dream come true.
This will always be one of my favorite videos on RUclips.

Now this is my version of "boulevard of broken dreams". I can still go there if i try hard enough but its like, every dream has a base, if that is destroyed, the dream no longer exists.
I loved the police siren sound effect going over Watts. Lol, hilarious!
All Watts needs is a 2000 lb. conventional bomb dropped directly over it. From there civilization will take root and flourish.
wash beezy 😂😂 just Angelenos understand this

I agree

GC I live in Thousand Oaks but born in L.A. and I go to L.A. every weekend
FK YEAH!!! Greatest city ever!
Better than San Diego?
I never get tired of watching this. I really like the music to this. To each his own.
Man, I love this City! It's my dream to move here some day.

That red sky though.
I love how all the comments are about loving LA when the song is literally about how terrible the city is
We're apparently not convinced. There's still great areas of L.A. The only hellholes are the places the Marxist created.

They're just posers bro
The band members may not like Los Angeles, but they were willing to go there to further their careers, so they shouldn't complain.
About 10 years ago I watched this video in university and since then it’s been always in my mind. Today it came to me again and here I’m rewatching it! Beautiful view, perfect music.
Every year or so I always come back to this video. I remember seeing it a few months after it was uploaded.
I’m Japanese.
I visit LA by March.
I can speak English.
I like USA.
Good Place. Everybody kind
LAはどうでしたか?
@@sharaku20 最高でした!
I want to Live and Die in LA
+1986SSMONTECARLO Me too !
+yeshaya24 west side, best side !
East Side is the first and top most urbanized area in the entire United States. East Side is also equally good to west side.
west side is sprawling, it's already pretty much the tech hub of the world with all tech companies located all over CA and up to Washington. Not to mention the entertainment industry (Hollywood) that dominates the world
Yeah but if you had to compare west side to east side what are the main points you'd discuss?
I'm in love with this city
I really wanna go there.
This is still my favorite video on RUclips. Everytime I stumble upon it I'm enjoying it like the first time.
Does this video remind anyone else of playing GTA???

Matt Riding Yes it makes me wish GTA V was actually this big...
Matt Riding exactly yes😅
Matt Riding omg 😲 yes
One day.... I´ll be there again ...
I hope to go one day :)
me too bros hey by the way I made a song about Los Angeles too, you can find it on my spotify: nEscafeX, feel free to add it to your playlist hehe xD
My amigo willyrex
Pero madre mia Willy qué haces aquí compañero ? Y si, viviste ahí por un buen tiempo!!!
It been 8 years are you there ?
Lived in LA my whole life and just moved to Hawaii in September. I miss L.A. so much but i love the new lifestyle!! L.A. will always be my home though
I also lived in L.A. most of my life and now live in Hawaii I will alway miss L.A.
Who else has this on their playlist! The song still fits LA!
My dad and I have the same color circle like yours!
Even after all these years...whenever I’m feeling homesick I need only watch this video.
Happy 2019 RUclips!
From SF, I took this flight so many times in the 80’s. This song is a great expression of my thoughts getting there.
LA is so beautiful. I can't wait to move there. All of my family says it's bad over there and to expensive. I don't care what they say. I'll be on a plane as soon as I move out. I ❤️ LA.
Im with u girl me too im moving out from new york city and trust is not more expensive than nyc to LA in aprill

I never saw my home city from the air before!; I like it ! Amazing!!!!!
I was 24 when I arrived in Los Angeles from the Philippines --- on April 3, 1985 --- to start a new life in America.

THE BEST CITY ON EARTH!
Right bro
FK YEAH!
Mr Healey not better then Philly. East coast ALL DAYYY

He stopped and turned off his lights for the emergency guys. WAY Cool! :-D
One of the most beautiful city.
Superb music and video combo, I love it! 😍
watched this 9 years ago and it brings back good memories. this video was before its time. Great music for the footage.
My dad and I have the same color circle like yours!
Awesome video! I want to go back to L.A now.
Its my dream live in LA.. I will be there soon! ❤
The city of los Santos!
This is one of the best videos ever. The added sound effects was BRILLIANT! Great job!!!
I wann know who disliked this awesome video?
فيه ناس نفسيات 😏
world of GTA)))
LA and LA county is huge....i miss there!
Okay. This was badassed. I typically don't like aviation videos with music since I want to hear the actual sounds but this was so fitting. Since you pulled up at the United terminal I'm assuming this was a United flight (Or Continental, depending on how old this was.) What kind of aircraft was this?
I think A319 but I could be wrong
MD-83

I watched this when i was 5 years old and now im 15. Time passes so dam fast.
Volveré pronto... muy pronto... :P
I will go LA ! 😀🌍
This video is interesting!
Retired geology professor, the Dirt Doctor sent me this video many years ago. He's since passed and gone but not forgotten. It may be the perfect blend of sight and sound, perfect for RUclips!
This song and this specific video inspired me to move to LA, I was just 23 years and lived there for almost 3 years! I'll never forget the fun I had!
song?
Woow amazing
Bagus sekali itu cahaya didepan merah apa alami ya. Selama dipesawat biasanya merenung memandangi hamparan awan lewat jendela disamping.
Kayaknya sih bukan rekayasa sob Bawor
whoa! it's like playing gta 5 :D

Eight years later, and there's still no better cockpit video on RUclips. Yeah, you can complain about the song, but it matches the video perfectly.
Very nice act off the Captain that he/she is switching off the Taxi-Light when the emergency-vehicles approaches so that they can go! Very nice....AND, of course, very beautiful Video!
BELIEVE ME !!!
This IS GTA V Realistic Graphic Mod. 😱😱
Who watching in September 2016? :*
Me
i love la,i dream to move there one day *-*
don't you just love those sunsets during a brush fire, they're so beautiful!!
Very cool video. I love the sync with music and video.
HA! I saw my apartment building! In Beverly Hills, close to Century city just off Olympic Blvd.
lol of course that as soon as its says watts at 2 minutes you here a police siren almost immediately
I doubt you can hear a police siren from the top of a plane. C'mon get real.
It was an added sound effect the guy put in for humor. LOL
Alexis M Chill...the siren he mentioned was in the music--not from the streets below
I don't even think it was in the music bob; it was a sound effect he added in since he was flying over watts. Lol
Well I knew it certainly wasn't coming from the street...LOL. Just figured it was in the music
While flying over Watts the police siren dubbed in was cute!
All the hard work in syncing the video and audio up has paid off. I've watched this about ten times already.
Dude, 12 years later and this still rocks, the song and the post! LMSFO!
Thanks for posting. The speedup video & song is cool af.
I love it
"Watts".
*don't crash now, please don't crash now, please please pelase..."
Haha, poor people.
I would give it all away just to live in LA
It all may be taken away once you get there but that is a matter of perspective.
Wow! nice view of LA at night.Thanks for uploading and nice song with this video.
NEVER get tired of watching this....LOVE this video, LOVE the music!!!...this is the closest I will ever get to flying my own plane!...LOL!...Whoa!...over a million views!!!...yeah!
In-N-Out Burger and LAX Airport parking lot on 2:34
Which plane was this?:)
MD-80...that's what I heard, anyway.
Now that's one hell of a city. I have a day video of landing in Los Angeles.
Landing at night time is much better.
Ronald Reagan
It sure highlights the city. I saw L.A. at night on the trip home. Also saw some towns. Inhabited places sure look interesting from 36,000 feet.
Right from 2011,I might have watched this wonderful video umpteen number of times. Believe me I am not getting tired.What a music! Hats off to martinba11
one of the most magical experience in my life was this night lax landing in 2011, though only passenger view :-) ray of lights..can´t forget!
Awesome
why did you fast forward man.... I would have enjoyed the final approach in the normal view...
Another reasonable video completely ruined by crap "music"
@ merci cava It's not that good
I put the sound down all the way if I can.
Yes, but it puts you off watching it again
maria cornwallis Not just that... it´s in time lapse the whole time.. thumbs down. (martinba11 it may be L.A. but your not a 'movie' producer...) Otherwise would've been great!
i LOVE this music, it depends who you are and it's in your opinion but it depends on what music you like you can't say it's crap as that's basically a fact
love it and the song too!!!!
Thanks to the creator of this video. 12 years ago I saw this video and had a dream of going abroad someday and now I am 🤗
Did I just hear a high speed chase at 2:03? WTH! JK.
omg...its fucking awesssssooooomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,,,,
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yeah, watch your mouth
It is visually appealing and good music but of limited appeal to aviation enthusiasts.
Agree...
I'm not sure, I'm an aviation enthusiast and I got plenty out of it.
8 years ago this video brought my dream back to life. Now I'm a pilot. Hoping someday fly over LA. Thank you.
Just love this video, been watching it for months every now and then, great song
Reminds me Michael when he gets dropped of the ufo when he was high
Home =)
Fast Forwarded...video..
Actually ..would've enjoyed it more in real pace..!!
Nice anyway..Martinba!!
One if the coolest landing videos out there.
I loved the brief shot of Santa Monica Pier. I want to visit there someday and go on their roller coaster! hehe
GTA5やん
Terrible video. Not cockpit view. Video is sped up. Music ruins any shred of coolness the video may have had left.
The only thing that ruins the coolness of this video is you!! Music is perfect fit...or would you prefer Bieber??
Matt Sneddon Don't be so touchy, music is a very personal thing - I watched it with the sound off because the music was not to my liking and I've never heard Bieber. I also thought the speeding up of the video spoiled it.
Sparrow Dean I just muted the sound opened a new tab and played Eminem.
what do you mean not cockpit view? if the camera was any further to the front of the plane it would fall out/off...
***** That would be a awesome video! What's it like to jump off a plane and fall to your death!...IN L.A!!!
This video totally freakin' rocks! Great song and awesome visuals.
My dad and I have the same color circle like yours!
nice song for los angeles and very beautiful place in the world los angeles i hope that i will be see this place.. bcoz los angeles is my dream city.....
Damn! I never get tired of this. I work in aviation and this presentation absolutely rocks!
This is one of my favorites!
Wonderful!
One of the best time-lapses out there. Thanks.
Very Beautiful..
