    MUST SEE Classic 35mm Aerial Footage

    Take a seat. You're gonna need it.

    Was browsing Google Video and came across stock 35mm footage of NYC and the airports from a company calld Third Millenium Films (you'll recognize some of this stuff from popular movies). And this is some pretty old stuff, I'm guessing at least 20 years. Unfortunately, there's no sound, but it's still freakin' awesome!!

    JFK: Concorde, TWA, TWA, TWA, 747s at T6, 747 boarding from the right at T5, old T4 IAB, old tower, PanAm...lots more...
    LGA: DC-10 in the lineup for 04, all the old airlines...lots more...

    Then if you didn't think it could get any better...

    Not all NYC, but wow. Wow.

    thats golden!! of course, the part i really wanted to see (old-school LGA) was the shortest. i've got a huge interest in the history of my great airport..
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".
