    It's not a RC flight, but it's pretty amazing.

    In a Helicopter with door off? Check

    At night? Check

    At 7,500 feet? Wait… what?

    This was an incredible adventure – and to be honest self-imposed. I’d always wanted to see NY from all the way up there. Well we all catch a glimpse of this view when we land at JFK or LGA – but you can never make clean photos from an airplane’s window seat… at least not looking down. And when you’re in a helicopter: the vibrations make it very hard to photography at night.

    Back when I used to fly over fires and the door was off, you can't help but to have a death grip on everything that is in your hands for some reason, and I mean really a death grip on your phone, camera, whatever.
