This incredible point-of-view GoPro video was taken by a real Army soldier over the course of two days.

The first day was a flight from northern Maryland to Manhattan and the National September 11 Memorial & Museum while the second day the helicopter went from northern Maryland to Baltimore to Washington Dulles International Airport.

While the soldier is certainly no Steven Spielberg, he or she isn’t completely lost either. Watch and see as they manage to sneak a handful of memorable shots in.
