New York skyline on LGA-Philadelphia flight: 1 World Trade Center, Statue of Liberty 2016-03-30

Annotated video: A circular "sightseeing-flight" departure from New York's central LaGuardia Airport in the tightly confined airspace sandwiched between Newark and JFK airports. One full climb circle later, the nearly continuous left-loop ascent takes this departing EMB 175 back over LaGuardia Airport before proceeding directly south over mid-field JFK to fly south toward Sandy Hook, New Jersey, on this scenic 6,000-foot-cruising-altitude short hop to Philadelphia.
