This charming aerial video of the Coney Island amusement district is about four months old—eons in Internet time—so if you've seen it already, please do gloat in the comments. NYC The Blog spotted it today, and reports that it's the work of one Jason Lam, founder of aerial photography company Sky Shutter. Lam uses a customized radio control toy helicopter to shoot videos like these, but it's unclear where he gets the cheesy synthesized baroque music to accompany it. (We suggest muting the sound and replacing it with "Coney Island Baby.")

Someone made a vertigo and nausea-inducing virtual tour of New York (where it might even be possible to recreate the 4/27/09 shot). The aerial shots can start off from above Times Square, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, Downtown, Central Park or Governors Island. And before you know it, with some points and clicks, you are pretty much just like Superman, albeit listening to new age synth pop.
