DETAILS:

Fitzgerald performed the flips, barrel rolls and nose dives in front of the Statue of Liberty, Battery Park and alongside the West Side Highway.
The pilot chose the unique practice course in preparation for the Memorial Day Weekend’s Bethpage Air Show.
The Red Bull helicopter is able to perform the tricks through the use of a unique titanium rotor. It allows Fitzgerald to reverse the airflow through the rotor without damaging anything, ensuring he can safely execute the manoeuvres.
Spectators in the area at the same time were surprised to look up and witness the high-skilled aerial flight happening in their own backyard.
Fitzgerald is a medal of Valor recipient and spends the majority of his time flying for the film and television industry.
