☆☆☆ I agree with the pilot. That group of buildings are in the way. And you should see them from the highway or from main street in flushing view. I remember when the old zipper factory use to occupy that space. My cousin worked there for many years untill they closed their doors for good. When I first saw it, I couldn't believe how close the buildings are to each other.The structures are beautiful but I think the design was poorly laid out. You can literally look from building to building to building with very close proximity. Just a very cramped layout. The jets come pretty close. This is a great video. Thank you for posting.

No, I would guess it was an average crew on an average day. In order to feel comfortable enough to trust the flying pilot, while the non-flying pilot films any approach, and especially this approach, you would not want to be training someone new to the airplane or new to their position. Not to mention, you need to trust the other pilot to not narc on you for filming whilst flying. 😉

There are usually 4 cockpit windows attached together and around the nose of the aircraft. Each of them are rectangular shaped and each of them are about 3 times the size of each little oval window by the passengers' window seats. Much less wall space between the 4 cockpit windows then between each little oval window. The views must really be amazing there
