My son works in Hudson Yards and travels frequently to JFK. An uber can take two hours or more. Blade is around 10 minutes. They do a great job.

@sinfulldoubt 9 ай бұрын

Yeah the time savings are pretty awesome and it's not that much more than an Uber at times, especially if you get the blade membership

Uber has an air option that basically just leases rides from this.

I was looking the other day an an uber to JFK from fidi was going to cost me 175 bucks. I think blades start at 350 or something to jfk. Was definitely considering it

Dude! Can you pls. watch this video yourself - over and over again ... and then realise how BLESSED you are 🙂 I am a retired airline pilot who flew to JFK and Newark almost 3 times a month from Central Europe. On my layovers I would come to the piers and watch YOU guys hovering around and flyin'g in-and-out. While thinking "Man, THAT is the dream job that I would love to have pursued'"... I watched this video with my BT headset on 100% in volume, just LOVE that sound. Bless you, will watch ALL your upcoming videos. Thanks, man! ❤

They refer to the Hudson river as the hell-i-copter highway. It's literally overcrowded with these noisy menaces largely quarter of a century or older in age. Already been 5 deaths when one went down in the East River a few years ago. You're glorifying a noisy and filthy industry impacting many peoples lives. Hell-i-copter tourism is for tourists willing to take their lives in their hands.Ask those dead tourists if it was worth it.

I fly out of 3n6 and my home airport shares the CTAF frequency with JRA so I’m always hearing the helicopters inbound to their assigned spots. Cool to see it happening.

Great video! Thank you! As a heli pilot in the UK I am always quite intrigued by the routes taken by single engine helicopters in the USA. There seems to be a lot of low flying in large congested areas, is it an accepted risk over there that in the event of a forced landing then somebody on the ground is probably going to get hurt?
