Ahh the birds!! I was doing my final checkride prep today for my IFR exam tomorrow and my God were the birds bad today. Huge flocks of hawks and vultures up there. We were dodging them left and right. I am at 190 hours now flight time and I have never seen them so packed up in the sky. Love these flights buddy! Love using my Flying Eyes as well that of course I used code "Micah" with lol.
Oh god, thank you Michael! Los Angeles isn't as bad as people think or how the news portrays it. You really do a great service to your city. I have been to LA many times and I love it. I lived in Palm Springs for awhile and took the two hour trip there many times. Love you Michael!
I live in Malibu and drive PCH all the time. Usually on an exciting trip to Ralph’s and back. I never see the homes I pass every day because they are hidden from the road. How cool to see what they look like them from the air. Thank you!
Damn, I could spend hours and hours watching your helicopter flights above the beach ! And that's what I do, I keep watching them years after you posted them haha !
I saved this video to watch later on a special occasion (New Year's weekend) as I knew it would be fantastic. And it was! I love when you point out a place because I then pause the video and Google it to learn more, such as Moonshadows, Duke's and Neptune's Net, as well as HRL Laboratories, and Pepperdine University. Great stuff. The mansions and estates were incredible, especially the 'mind-blowing estate'. At 10:45, I'm not sure if it was just an optical illusion, but it looks as if part of the lawn takes a 90 degree turn heading straight down the hill. It was especially nice to see the warm, dry conditions ...at least compared to the cold and snow where I live. Thank you once again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Yes yes yes, as a tourist i have indeed rented Mustang convertibles in California. It was excellent to be able to experience the California views with the top down. I also owned a Mustang convertible at home in Canada.
It feels cliche but a convertible Mustang is honestly the best way for tourists to experience California. I fully approve!!! And thanks for confirming that folks do indeed buy drop top Stangs. 🤘
Micah, A million thanks for all the wonderful flyover. I love Cali but can't get out that way for a while. I definitely would prefer the view high on a hill.
I Live right on the water in Oxnard, its great. But every 5-6 years with a storm and king tide at the same time it can get sketchy. At least theres plenty of sand for sand bags ( but cali law says we arent suppose to use it )
I've really missed these Micah. Glad the bird is all spruced up and back in the air. These are very relaxing to watch and I just sit back to enjoy the view.
I used to live in Santa Monica. I would love to miss it, and I do, but it was a costly and crowded place to live. I wish the people all the best in fighting the fires.
Thanks for your adventure with the tower on the radio. Well done!

Beautiful sunset, up the coast in Vancouver bc it's also sunny and a balmy 50....lol, my #1 to do in California is hit as many aviation and naval museums as I can
You say the Ford Mustang convertible is the tourist car in L A . Once my motorcycle riding days are over, the Ford Mustang convertible will be a top contender on my list, :-). Thank You for the flight. Cheers. 🙂🏍🇨🇦
First of all, your Fly Over Videos are amazing. I just recently got a 4K Computer Monitor and now I can enjoy the full potential of your videos. Now viewing them is even more Amazing!
Hey Micah! As an Australian who loves traveling to California, thank you. I can’t wait for international travel to reopen then I’ll be back! 😀 love your videos and seeing LA especially from the sky. It’s an incredible city.
What a great video, Micah! It's been years since I've traveled the coast and really appreciated this trip down memory lane...Or shall we say, the PCH! Such a change from the flatlands here in Ohio! You're the best! Take care.
@@MicahMuzio Thanks, Micah! I shared your video with my neighbor, who is originally from Arkansas,. He's never been to California and he was really impressed by it! Everything is great here...Cool today but supposed to be in the 70's by Thursday! Best wishes to you and your wonderful family...I really also enjoy your family car reviews!
"Fancy house" at 14:48 is the home of Bill and Maria Bell, it's likely the largest home in Malibu at apprx 40,000 sq ft, it was designed by famous architect Tadao Ando.
Nice. You flew straight over the house of my favourite guitarist, Mike Einziger, from my favourite band, Incubus. And you also twice flew over the Morning View Studio Mansion where Incubus recorded their 2001 Album, Morning View.
Rented a 2018 ford mustang convertible a couple years ago and drove it to Ventura from LA on the PCH. It was great! Wish I had gone on more scenic roads nearby! I did do Mulholland Drive though!
Love seeing u up there so happy and funny!! My hometowns from the skyview is just the best, so many land adventures, like taking the Rolls-Royce to Zuma beach, all us kids in the backseat and onlookers thinking we were famous but we weren't 😄 Your flights show just how beautiful those hills are, and for the record....Thank You!!!
Encinal to Mulholland including the Snake and past Topanga. Up Piuma or Stunt. Decker or Encinal as alts to Kanan. Everytime I got new summer tires for my RSX-S I would go carve it up here. Sticky tires especially needed on the snake.
Nice Video. Fun roads Las Flores, or even up Topanga then towards The Rock Store. Too bad the snake still isnt open. But love the video and ordered 2 shirts cant wait. Happy to support.
Ha! The first time I went to LA in like 2003 with my dad on a business trip, we stayed at the Renaissance (now Loews) at Hollywood and Highland, and drove a rented Mustang convertible along the PCH! Then we went awol and hit up City Walk 🤪.
He liked or i think he watched my video it was no good video but micah show respect omg micah god bless you . God bless your family . God will bring u higher up in sky
My fraternity, Theta Xi, at UCLA had a yearly outing to Point Dume (Du-May (spanish)). I do remember the drives up but not back (think kegger!) Once, I saw a body that had fallen off the cliff on the north side of the hill.
Keep Texas roads in perspective.... there are a ton of good driving roads around Austin. Since you brought up convertible Mustangs, back in the late 90s I was working at a Ford dealership in Austin and a sales manager gave the keys to an Expedition and an address west of Bee Caves. It sucked driving out in the Expedition but it turned out I was picking up a convertible Cobra. The drive back was a lot more fun.
You're right. I haven't given Texas roads a proper shot. The good news is that I'll be back in Austin before too long. Can't wait to do some driving and get more BBQ!
Enjoying the birds eye view and like that you label areas giving those of us not familiar with the area a sense of direction. Have you done a flyover Monterey Bay?
Back in the summer of 2004 my roommate and I ate some mushrooms and drove his 1998 Chrysler Sebring down Kanan Dume road. We took a right on PCH and ended up at El Matador beach. To be 20 years old again!
I was a lifeguard there then. Its a satellite beach for us but we still went down there for the busy part of the day. Glad to see you had a great time.
OK Micah, now that you have that T-shirt on you need to go get the matching helicopter that goes with it. Just give your friend your helicopter and he’ll give you one of his and you’ll be just hunky-dory. 🤩🤪
Does anyone have any pics of Micah's Helicopter in Flight? Would love to see them posted on Instagram - thinking we could tag the pics MicahFlies and the location... how cool to have IG Chronicles of Micah. Micah - your vids are so cool! Thank you!
you nearly made it to where we camped September 22 at Point Mugu or Sycamore Canyon. I could see it in the distance just before you turned around. you flew over one of my favorite surf-spots on the south end of a small bay about a half mile south of Leo Carrillo. The surf spot is known as Zeros but named "officially" as Nicholas Canyon Beach. It is a not so secret spot these days. A lot of filming goes on there. They filmed Nick Cage's 'City of Angels at Zeros. I know where Cher's house (where i was told by an actor) is, easily spotted from PCH. Not sure i could recognize it from the air. I kinda skimmed over it not trying to find her digs, fast forwarding to see if you made it to Sycamore Canyon Beach and campground.[HA ok after writing the above i went over to find Cher's crib. I think I've found it @ 12:2512:26. If what i was told is her house; it is just off of PCH, on the beach side of PCH. it is fortress with many palms trees, security cameras with a tennis court on the south end of the rectangular property. It is just after you write "sports!" haha. I'm not a fan of hers. I like to point the shack out to friends driving by it on PCH)
That 'mind-blowing estate' has an interesting story. It was owned by Teodoro Nguema who got into a whole heap of trouble and had a whole bunch of his assets seized, including this house.
i have a friend who bought a brand new ford mustang convertible...lol i was like "you should've bought a camero instead". your funny man! keep talking.
almost made it to Pt. Mugu; perhaps, next time Pt. Mugu -> Carpinteria -> Santa Barbara ... would rather have a house at elevation, but, then you deal with landslides, fires ... the tradeoffs
Howdy, awesome flyover as always Micah! I’m closely related to someone who is a flight attendant for PSA American Eagle and know someone who flies CRJ’s for Mesa American Eagle, would you be interested to workout a deal where you could do a fly along on a commercial air carrier?😸😻😸
2 things: 1 - I would live up on the hill for better visibility and also a little bit safer for flooding. 2 - need some of your music in the background Micah! For the times you’re not talking / narrating.
Flooding doesn't really make the 'bu unsafe. Though if it does flood it floods like mad in the hills. By the beach, maybe cross creek floods and washes away the burberry/silicone stench for a minute but it comes right back the next morning. And the hills.. (where I have lived since 1980) burn like a torch BTW!
Living right on the water is like living on a boat. Nearly everything rusts, corrodes or wears quickly and the sea is always right there ready to destroy you. So there is that.
What's your favorite driving road near Malibu?
The Malibu Canyon Rd looks interesting, but never been there
Never been so couldn’t tell ya!
Latigo Canyon Road!
@@patrickjennings7362 Agreed!!
Topanga Canyon!

LA has its issues but it can be a wondrous place. Hopefully my videos shed a little light on LA's true character.

Barbara Streisand's house at 15:23 , the one with the crescent shaped pool.
Nicely spotted!
Plus she owns the 2 houses below that, including the architectural house she wrote her book about.
Good spotting, that's the one famous because of the 'Streisand Effect' right ?
@@juandenz2008 yes it is
Miss this stuff.. Hope it comes back.
I used to live in Santa Monica. I would love to miss it, and I do, but it was a costly and crowded place to live. I wish the people all the best in fighting the fires.
People really like tennis in those areas... Good to see you back in the sky, Micah!
Glad you left Austin and are back in your Helicopter in LA. Great Video of the Malibu area
Amazing, stayed in Malibu last year on vacation, hopefully go back once everything is back to normal. Best wishes from Glasgow, Scotland 🏴🇺🇸
I always think “why am i watching this silly guy fly around?” .... but i watch every video and enjoy em. Haha thats why. Thanks for making them.
Micah Flies returns! These are always a joy to watch. Thanks again 👏 🚁
I can't do it without the support of viewers like you. Thanks for watching, Evan!!
love love love the test popups, keep it up
Amazing video! You must be very brave to be flying helicopters after what happened to Kobe. Especially on a hazy day like that!
So nice to see all these roads from above that I only know from SAFA Brians videos
Thanks for your adventure with the tower on the radio. Well done!
Beautiful sunset, up the coast in Vancouver bc it's also sunny and a balmy 50....lol, my #1 to do in California is hit as many aviation and naval museums as I can
Bought a shirt, will wear it with pride in NZ, love your work, good to see the Enstrom back in the air!
Mega hi5 for repping Micah Flies in NZ. Now I HAVE to come for a visit!
You’d be welcome anytime.
further up tha hill fo sho :)) I like the view and the peace and quiet
Wonderful. Well done my friend.

So happy you're back in the skies! Thank you for a beautiful video!!
Great video! Good to see you back in your helicopter. Must feel great to have it back.
Not the best time to be flying west following the Malibu beaches (almost directly into the sun), but it’s such a good video in spite of that!
Favorites: Deer Creek, Yerba Buena, Latigo Canyon, Decker Canyon… great bicycling roads, some quite challenging!
Spot on about the mustang convertible. Went to LA last year and the first thing I did was renting one lol. Love your vids!
For touring LA and the coast, it's hard to top a convertible Mustang. :)
First of all, your Fly Over Videos are amazing. I just recently got a 4K Computer Monitor and now I can enjoy the full potential of your videos. Now viewing them is even more Amazing!
I drove through Decker Canyon once with my buddy. It's got lots of windy turns and fun to race on.
Decker Canyon is awesome!
Hey Micah! As an Australian who loves traveling to California, thank you. I can’t wait for international travel to reopen then I’ll be back! 😀 love your videos and seeing LA especially from the sky. It’s an incredible city.
Love the video I miss flying to california. Cheers from Salt Lake City, Utah 😊😊🙏🏻🙏🏻
thanks for flying over Malibu , don't forget to wave to Charlie Sheen 🤣😂
Thank you Micah for another fabulous flight with great commentary. Stay safe.
Thank you for watching, Rick. Cheers!!
What a great video, Micah! It's been years since I've traveled the coast and really appreciated this trip down memory lane...Or shall we say, the PCH! Such a change from the flatlands here in Ohio! You're the best! Take care.
PCH is waiting for you whenever you have a chance to return. Hope all is well in Ohio!!

It's the thing to do when you're visiting LA. Such a lovely drive!!
Been missing these videos. Glad to see the chopper back! California is burning down in more ways than just fires lol
Pretty fair digs,, for a second home. Lots of chopper tours though.
Wow! That has to be the busiest set of ATC calls I have ever heard in your videos. Probably because you were so close to LAX.
That was actually Santa Monica tower. I just happened to be there during a super busy moment. 🤷♂️

Everytime I got new summer tires for my RSX-S I would go carve it up here. Sticky tires especially needed on the snake.
RSX-S. Sweet!!
Glad to see you back in the air! Maybe one day, you will do a video of your setup and how you edit these videos, I would be interested in seeing that.
Good idea!
Nice Video. Fun roads Las Flores, or even up Topanga then towards The Rock Store. Too bad the snake still isnt open. But love the video and ordered 2 shirts cant wait. Happy to support.
Dude, I truly appreciate the support!! And yes, can't wait for the Snake to re-open...eventually.

I haven’t been up to the Rock Store in years, one of my favorite motorcycle rides why not check it out ...
A flight following some of California's epic driving roads could be cool.
I have a very interesting and way out suggestion for a flyover. Head down to San Diego and fly over Black’s Beach and get some pics. Have fun. 🤪🙃😛😜😎
they have really cleaned the air up
OK Micah, now that you have that T-shirt on you need to go get the matching helicopter that goes with it. Just give your friend your helicopter and he’ll give you one of his and you’ll be just hunky-dory. 🤩🤪
All I need is a few million more subscribers and maybe I can buy a Magnum chopper of my own. 😂
Good video. All those miles over PCH. I wonder how many people driving thought you were a CHP helicopter clocking them?

Wow I noticed that rather high antenna Paradise cove Beach. Did you?
As you flew over the “Hobbit house” then turned right there was what looked like farm pens. That’s Robert Downey Junior place.
it looks like you are getting close to point mague where I used to camp
Amazing wealth
That 'mind-blowing estate' has an interesting story. It was owned by Teodoro Nguema who got into a whole heap of trouble and had a whole bunch of his assets seized, including this house.
Thanks for filling in the backstory!
There's a home in the SM mountains nw of Malibu made with two 747 wings. Did you see it? Look up 747 Wing House!
Dang. I need to make another flight to check out the wing house!
We got the Mustang convertible and done just what you said :-)
When visit LA, a drop-top Stang is the correct move. 👍
@@MicahMuzio I am that typical tourist you mention :-) We don't get Convertable weather much in London.
i have a friend who bought a brand new ford mustang convertible...lol i was like "you should've bought a camero instead". your funny man! keep talking.
almost made it to Pt. Mugu; perhaps, next time Pt. Mugu -> Carpinteria -> Santa Barbara ... would rather have a house at elevation, but, then you deal with landslides, fires ... the tradeoffs
even if smoke it is way better than the pollution of the early 70s
you are approaching where I used to camp
Howdy, awesome flyover as always Micah! I’m closely related to someone who is a flight attendant for PSA American Eagle and know someone who flies CRJ’s for Mesa American Eagle, would you be interested to workout a deal where you could do a fly along on a commercial air carrier?😸😻😸
Perhaps, though I'm really committed to this whole rotary-wing thing. 😁
Yes, I have owned a mustang convertible. A 1992. It was a former rental car.
Nice video! Is your radko chatter gone after moving the antena or was that just chatter from being far away?
There's still some crackle here and there, but overall its MUCH better.
the air is way clean compared to the early 70s even with smoke
Wow what's the address to that "house" at 10:45
Approximately how fast was the Bell 505 passing you at and does your new shirt come in a XXXL.
The 505 cruises around 110 knots. So they probably had 40 mph on me. And yes, my T-shirt does come in triple XL. 👍
8:35 I have been looking for that rock
Edit: very disappointed you didn't fly over Tony Stark's Island
The rock at the bottom of big rock? It gets good w/a rare degree west swell with just the right sand and tide.
2 things:
1 - I would live up on the hill for better visibility and also a little bit safer for flooding.
2 - need some of your music in the background Micah! For the times you’re not talking / narrating.
Flooding doesn't really make the 'bu unsafe. Though if it does flood it floods like mad in the hills.
