Beautiful. One thing is telling that 18 million people live in the city but another very different thing is showing the huge amount of houses. It brings 18 million into perspective. All those people, good people, bad people, people going through bad times, some enjoying good times. The contrast between the complexity of anyone's life and the ordered grid of the city. This is a really good video, good job.

"Distance adds enchantment to the view"... I agree whole heartedly.

Awesome videos and storytelling! Growing up, weekends were when my Dad and I cleaned, fixed, or flew our little Cessna 172 in rural Wisconsin. Dad would always ask me where I wanted to go as we lifted off, and he let me take the controls for most flights. One day I asked if he ever flew up to 10,000ft. I don’t know if he was humoring me, but he said no. So that day we climbed and climbed until the whole world opened up. The forests, lakes, and rivers of my childhood took on a different perspective that I will never forget. I remember watching the temperature gauge on the vent drop and drop, and hearing the engine sound different. Now that he is gone; this is one of my fondest memories of my Dad. The sound of your prop as you flared for landing brings me right back. I must have some dust in my eyes.

Dude, this is excellent; well presented. As a native Angeleno and huge Google Earth fan - I recognized what I was seeing, with a refreshing perspective. L.A. is BIG. Thanks for the ride.

Always amazes me when you see the crap on YT getting millions of views yet this sublime art gets so little. This was amazing in every way. ❤️❤️❤️

That was truly wonderful. The cinematography, narration and production are top notch! So cool that you grabbed these rare views of LA.

I used to flay with my dad in his PzL-104 Wilga back in the 70s. One day we had to flight certify it for altitude so we took off from Chino and flew to around 14,000 feet. I was stunned - I had never seen clean, clear LA air - you could literally see all the smoke belching from the Fontana steel mills and the inversion layer topping out a few thousand feet below us. That trip ended up being one of my most memorable ever - the Wilga has auto lean for climbing but not auto rich for descending so at around 8,000 feet the engine cut off. Seeing as the starter used compressed air we only had a few shots at restarting, thankfully my dad got it going on the first try. Later on when we were descending into San Diego for some well earned food at the Red Baron restaurant the tower had problems eyeballing us, it was only when we were about 4 miles out that we realised that we were on final for NAS Miramar ! My best friend flew with me that time - first flight for him also his last !

What a great video. Everything looks so peaceful from these altitudes. Thanks for sharing these unique views.

This was such a beautiful video! Seeing the LA metro area from that perspective is incredible. I do this often using Google Earth and MS Flight Sim and it's so amazing seeing it in real video. I've also flown around the area before IRL but not at that altitude and did not have that straight down view with a camera. I've always loved the geography of the whole LA metro area. Especially all the rolling foothills and the mountains. Seeing everything from this altitude, it makes everything down there look so calm. To think that this great number of people are down there, all next to each other trying to do life and exist, it's incredible. And btw I saw two of my old neighbourhoods in this video 😄😄. I only have my sport and haven't been up in a while because of a lot of depression nonsense that I've lost the drive for a lot of things but this video is so inspiring. This is the best video that I've ever seen of the area. Fantastic on your part for doing it. Safe skies!!

Holy wow!!! Amazing! I was in love with LA before but now I have a whole new appreciation for it. What a stunning city. Truly cosmopolitan. The best landscape contrasts. ❤ A city of Earth. 🌎

One thing you can be sure of when you see a Wolficorn video come across your subscription list. You're in for howevermany minutes of absolutely stellar video. Never disappointing. Fantastic work!!

..thanks again..from a former resident.. of so many beautiful SoCal locations..spread way up and down the entire beautiful rugged coastline..first.. living near the hills of Hollywood ..and then ..moving way down to the beaches in SD ..and finally..way up to these still pristine..and small.. SLO towns and beaches ..many thanks for sharing all of this..with all of us..

The LA/LB harbors @4:56 may be the most underrated civic mega projects I know of and worth seeing for visitors. The mountains surrounding LA are easily condoned by locals, but are absolute ginormous when compared to most of the lower 48, owing to their prominence. Cajon pass looks amazing after traveling through the flat Midwest, or even compared to much of the Great Divide.

Such a beautiful video, Bryan. Loved seeing all my familiar landmarks and hearing the statistics I was oblivious of. Really beautiful.

whenever i’m flying into LAX i love this view of Los Angeles it’s so beautiful. Looking down at the freeway seeing all those cars and millions of houses and buildings. It’s so mesmerizing and I always think to myself down there’s millions of people living out their lives.

Glad I ran across this video!!! Very very well done. I lived in Seal Beach and Laguna Niguel for several years and really appreciated every bit of the film. Keep them coming!!!!

Absolutely stunning, honestly. I love how you narrate those videos 😊. Keep posting and you will be a legend.

This was really enjoyable. Quite a different perspective, than usual, as you said. The amount of concrete and asphalt is staggering.

A really well-made film. Thanks very much for all the care taken in editing, etc. The sheer size and complexity of LA was vividly shown, some of it with a beauty of its own, some of it truly frightening in the way it seemed to take over everything

Really enjoyed this new perspective! Kudos

We get so excited when you post a new video. We have enjoyed your channel and content for quite a while and have followed your lead and copied many of the same mission ourselves in our 182. This one is no different, I immediately knew we would fly this too! Your presentation and camera work are incredible and inspire us all to want to experience these adventures ourselves. Thank you for sharing another mini-masterpiece with us all. Best.

Man I just love aerial shots. Bravo

Man.... This gave me chills watching this footage, and incredible narration and production quality!! We need more of this type of content on KZfaq, and in the rest of the world. Subscribed!

That was absolutely beautiful. The scenery, the music and the commentary made me enchanted and locked to the screen. Thank you for making this video!

Welcome back! Great video.

Great video! When I first moved to California (North San Diego County) fifty years ago, after seeing it, I thought then that the entire Los Angeles--Orange County--Riverside County--San Bernardino County megalopolis was akin to a giant cancer on what was once a beautiful landscape. My impression hasn't changed except for one thing---the air quality is genuinely much, much better today than it was in years past.

Oh the excitment of seeing you've posted another beautiful journey for us to enjoy :) Another gorgeous video :) Love from the UK

I really enjoyed watching this!! Great content and a new subscriber!

Great job, well done with editing & narration!

Nicely done, Wolficom!

Thank you for making this video and keeping it professional and safe!

Incredible! What a great video! Looks like the surf was up that day. This is a really cool vantage point to see the swell coming in.

Cool video! Loved the slow, peaceful flow of it.

Almost meditative! Nice work

Your best storytelling through visuals yet; and, as a new pilot, inspiring.

This is a truly amazing video! It show how small we are but at the same time how much of an impact we can have. I will definitely share this video with people. Thank you very much!

I moved from CA a year ago, with 100+ hours out of KVNY. This video really made me miss SoCal. Just stunning footage.

wow this was incredible. LA is so freakin HUGE

I can't say thank you enough for this video, brilliant idea, beautifully created and thoughtfully narrated. It would be wonderful to see this expanded to other cities / locales.

Absolutely FASNTASTIC. Beautiful editing, amazing choice of music, clean audio with inspirational & informative voice over... this is a masterpiece in ever sense of the term. Thank you, thank you so much for sharing this- just incredible.

Bryan, you picked a lovely day to film this unique and enjoyable video. Good narration with geographic and historical substance. Very nicely done! Wayne (DA40 KSBA)

Being a current active gang member in South Central Los Angeles I can’t helped to feel so useless and little holding down a neighborhood that looks so small from above and witnessing so many homies and love one lose their life for it 😔🙏🏽

The storytelling is just magnificent! The scenery lives on with your story :)

I added to the list of best years of my life living in LA. An experience I realized most would never have, and I explored so many areas that even natives hadn’t frequented. Living in DTLA, to further inland, and ended out on a beach front next to palos. I miss every nightly bike ride up the coast from Redondo to Santa Monica. I often think of returning to live instead of visiting, but if not, it was years well spent and certainly learned from. Thanks for capturing a view of a place I did many hours of development in.

This is sick. LA is a city full of things to do! Yet in this video from Malibu to the top of Tujunga and the Rose Bowl, Long Beach it shows how close everything is! 90% of the media and people know famously have at least a connection to LA. Everything that ever was happened here! This video gives me an anxiety yet almost a calm and serene feeling it really highlights how cool LA as a city is.

only been to LA once 20 years ago for a week long visit and there was no place else where I felt a sense of it being forsaken for lack of a better word. I walked through Downtown Manhattan and Queens during the 2003 east coast blackout and yet I have never experienced a feeling like that except being out in isolated deserts of Arizona and New Mexico where the stretches between civilization can be dozens or even hundreds of miles. It is weird because there were loads of people everywhere you went yet despite this it was unarguably the most isolated sense I have ever felt. Maybe it is exactly because of being near to so many people that it felt that way.

Amazing video. Wonderfully put together! I hope to visit LA one day.

Awesome! I did aerial survey in LA County for 3 months and got to have these views every day. It was amazing. Thanks for bringing back some memories.

Awesome..! Thank you sir.

Nice views of SoCal.

Good to see you back - some of us have missed you!

these views are simply amazing. I'm 40 and grew up in Los Angeles or So Cal my whole life. It's crazy too see all these areas where I've lived my entire life from this perspective.

Fantastic video

Very nice video! Enjoyed the content and the commentary. I'm just a few hangar rows away from you - next time I see you I will stop by and say hello. I once took a friend who happened to be a commercial helo pilot for a ride over L.A. in my 182. He kept saying, 'Wow, we're so high up!'. I said, "we're only at 4,000 feet?!" He said he rarely ever climbed higher than 1,500 AGL. He couldn't think of a reason to do so. LOL Guess it's all in your perspective.

Wow this is awesome! I could watch this for hours. Well done!

Lovely video - thoroughly enjoyed that - makes me want to come and visit LA again soon!

Simply breathtaking. Thank you for your work.

I love this. I love Los Angeles, even though I don't live there, so this was a fun way to see LA in a way I'd never really seen before. Very well done.

Unique perspective of a massive urban area. Great job! 👏

Stunning cinematography, excellent use of timing, narration and music. One of the most artfully, beautifully made videos on KZfaq.

Wow, loved this - spectacular rare views of the City of Angels and surrounds

Great work and great perspective! Thanks for sharing!

GREAT Production Wolfie!

This was amazing. I only get a glimpse of whatever is around me @ 10k feet when we come in for a landing @ LAX. Thank you for making this video.

This is truly amazing. Shared this with my brother who’s going to film school in LA, and I’ve been planning to come down from the PNW to take him flying around some landmarks. As a pilot this truly helped my build a mental image of the area, and it’s greatly appreciated.

Why am I just discovering your channel now? WOW, some extremely beautiful and cinematic documentary story telling and editing, absolutely awesome!!

Need a book now pointing out places of interest so us people on the ground know what we are looking at. DO MORE. This is great, can't wait to see more.

This is an awesome video!!!! Thank you for making it for my viewing pleasure.

Very very well done. Got a new subscriber. Love the deepness of your narration.

Incredible footage. So interesting to view the vastness of the landscape.

Love these aerial videos

This is sooo cool!! Thank you so much for taking us along! 💖

What a lovely views! A masterpiece, Well done.

Incredible!! What a view and must be a great experience! I've never seen something like this before, so thank you so much for showing us this gem!

Wonderful and interesting. Thx Wolficorn!

Really cool video, loved the shots of planes!

Spectacular views. Great idea to show this.

I have seen many aerial images of LA and surrounding areas. However, I think you may have captured my favorite. Your cross view of the Santa Monica Range is the best I have seen that clearly shows the separation between the San Fernando Valley and the coastal cities. Not only does it reveal the barrier those mountains create, but you an also see the elevation discrepancy between the two areas that are so close together yet separated in so many ways. I paused and studied that image for quite a while. Well done, and Thank You.

Wow! I’ve flown many times, in planes & helicopters, but this does give a different perspective. Lived here nearly all my life. Thanks for this great video!

Some majestic views from up there. Nice video with some interesting statistics thrown in. Thank you for making the video.

thank you so much for making this video. I loved it!

Great to see another video on the channel! Amazing new perspective on the masses. Would love to see a similar video done of the Bay Area.

Amazing 🤩 absolutely beautifully made 👏😍 Subscribed

What a beautiful video ! I lived in Culver City for a period back in the mid nineties. Watching from 🇸🇪

Bravo man. This is beautifully done. Shows how amazing the topography of socal is from such a grand perspective.

Beautiful! I have a whole new appreciation of LA and the surrounding area. “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”

Beautiful work man, thanks for flying for us and giving us this perspective.

Great video and narration, a joy to watch.

Absolutely wonderful video! I love Los Angeles! 🙌🏾

Really great video! I instructed at KVNY for a year and it always blew my mind flying over Los Angeles. So many people down there, living their lives. I would have millions of people in sight yet I couldn’t see a single face.

Beautiful city and a beautiful video!

Amazing ! Thank You for upload this video!

I work on Glenoaks and Van Nuys Blvd. I am almost certain you've flown over my head. I adored this video. Well done.

It amazes me everything can look so distant but so beautiful. The stadiums below looked almost like craters on the moon or openings to volcanic mountains. The vastness of LA is mind boggling, it looks so packed in. I really liked the 15 mountain lion part. The coastlines looked so inviting.

Really loved this video. Huge fan of aerial photography and pretty much everything that has to do with pics from up above. 😂 Thanks for the upload.

What a great video! Thanks for posting.

Beautiful views! Well done.

Loved the overview - fantastic way to reminisce the thirty great years I spent there 1989-2019, living at see-level - no place like it!

This was awesome! You should do more videos like this. I added you to the growing list of aviation channels I'm subscribed to. Thanks.

Great video. Thank you for posting
