Pilot's Perspective: This has to one of my favorite flights flown recently; I captured many elements of Yonkers and its surrounding areas. Though temperatures were hovering in the mid-90's and the sun was right over me, the winds were calm enough for me to fly comfortably; best of all, the visibility was great - you can really see a lot in the distance - let me know in the comments below if there is anything else I should have added in the following list. Cheers.

Special Thanks to @MARK (LI) for the last minute suggestion for flying in Yonkers

Notable Scenery (in the distance) -

- Manhattan Skyline
- Jersey City Skyline
- Hudson River
- Bronx
- Tappan Zee Bridge (connecting Westchester County to Rockland County)
- George Washington Bridge (connecting New York to New Jersey)
- If you look closely, the Throgs Neck and Whitestone Bridges
- Palisades Parkway (and the Palisades, a geologic feature which formed between 200 million - 250 million years ago)
- Yonkers Water Front and emerging housing projects
- Former Domino Sugar Factory
- Science Barge
- Kawasaki Plant (based on the car numbers, these R211 subways cars are actually destined for the Staten Island Railway, SIR)
- New York City Transit Bus Depot
- A number of Metro-North (originating from Poughkeepsie) and Amtrak (Northeast Regional) trains crossing each other

Fun Fact regarding the Palisades:
"Palisades ridgeline actually extends all the way south to Staten Island, spanning in total around 40 miles. A natural barrier between the Hudson and Hackensack rivers, once thought to have been a single waterway, they began forming 200-250 million years ago, when the Earth’s land mass was concentrated in a single supercontinent known as Pangaea. "

Nice, a trip down memory lane for me. Lived in the northeast Bronx 1939-1961. About a mile from Yonkers across the
Bronx river and two blocks from Mount Vernon. As a kid went crabbing on the Hudson River bus ride then a ferry to the
NJ side. Nice views of the old New York Central railroad tracks known as the water level route to Chicago. Trying to figure
out the Penn Central logo on the engine in your video. Again super job lets see more. Forgot my favorite hangout when I got older Yonkers Raceway.

Excellent video. Love the Penn Crntral heritage unit capture.

I was expecting to see a locomotive with an MTA logo on it pulling the Metro North cars
