San Diego by Air (With 5 Helicopters!!)

Our family owns a 2007 Robinson R44 Raven II helicopter and, after many requests from viewers, we finally flew it around San Diego. Even better, we did our San Diego aerial tour in a group of 5 helicopters. "Epic" is an understatement for how cool our flight was. We're excited to share it with you! #MicahFlies

A couple of insights - you all flew by Carrillo National Monument on the end of Point Loma, and those aren't "oil" tanks - it a sewage processing plant.

@alandaters8547 Жыл бұрын

Thanks, that is what I thought. Of course without a refinery and tanks somewhere the helicopter wouldn't be of much use!

We should all congratulate Micah for his dedicated and worthy effort to help people impacted by the recent snows in California! I just read in AOPA that Mica, working with CaliDART, used his helicopter to deliver supplies to isolated mountain towns. Although I live on the east coast I want to be among the first to congratulate and thank Micah for his hard work and fantastic flying!

Patrick, I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a kind comment. I've always wondered if my flying skills would help in an emergency. Amazingly the answer was yes! I'm grateful I was able to help my mountain community. Cheers!

WHOO HOO Finally more aviation content! I've been flying tons more myself lately. Look at that Bravo airspace, sheesh! Orlando and Tampa bravo isn't bad, Miami just extended their bravo this year. Please more of these fun around the state flights with your family! I don't know about Helos but maybe there is some groups that do big tours like this together you can get in on. I'd love to see Northern Cali, no one really talks about that stuff. Keep em commin!

Best memories of San Diego: -taking my wife in 2014 and watching the sunset from the Point Loma observatory. -getting dropped of at the front gate of NAS North Island after a night of drinking, and devouring copious amounts of Del Taco to try and sober up enough to navigate the carrier’s quarterdeck and pass out in my bunk.

San Diego is by far the trendiest city in California. I have nothing but good memories living there. Shortly after we were married my wife worked at Hotel del Coronado while I was stationed at NAS North Island. I lived in Rancho Bernardo before that and at that time I had the best of both worlds -- bustling city life and a rural setting just 20 or so miles apart.

My birthplace at the Navy Hospital in the early 1970s. I lived there until around 1980/81 when we moved to the East Coast. Lived in Lakeside and La Mesa and have cousins that still live in Santee. I visited there a couple years ago and went to Point Loma, La Jolla, the Zoo, Sea World etc. Since I was a little kid when I lived there I didn’t remember it being so hilly.

Love you guys and love the channel. (like the cars reviews a lot too!)

I'm a current Navy submariner stationed in San Diego. Managed to get my helicopter PPL here, navigating the Class B maze shenanigans was a "trial by fire" training environment and I loved every second of it. Nowadays I rent a R22 once a month or so and fly to Julian Pie Company or Oceanside for dates with my wife. I gotta be honest though, San Diego isn't really that special to me, even from the air. A lot of brown, a lot of dirt, a lot of rocks. Rented a R44 for a trip to Catalina, which was nice, but I'm looking forward to moving to Washington soon, which is believe is significantly more beautiful. Looking forward to seeing it from the air.

San Diego.... sigh. First vacation amidst the pandemic was here because the lady has a best friend in town; we stayed right by the convention center which you flew directly over, so this was a treat to see everything from this perspective! EDIT: another fun fact is we went Memorial day weekend and it was peak May Gray/June Gloom season, which was kind of a big screw up for us considering we wanted lots of California sunshine, so seeing those gorgeous blue skies and yellow sun reminds me of what we wanted to see originally :p

Anywhere along the coast you're going to be dealing with low clouds and fog from about April to July. Not the best but the fog usually lifted around 1:00 or 2:00 in the afternoon and that sun came out and stayed out.
