This is a stunning video of New York City, an aerial rediscovery of landmark structures such as the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty. The video was shot using a remote controlled plane and no shortage of piloting skills, courtesy of Austrian born Raphael Pirker (a.k.a. Trappy). Only an RC plane could have produced such dramatic results. It’s hard to imagine even the smallest airplane getting so intimate with Lady Liberty without it either crashing or quickly getting acquainted with a pair of “locked and loaded” US Air Force jets.

Here is an interview with the video’s author.
