    NYC Flight

    I "had" to take an observation flight yesterday, nothing like seeing the city from 3000 feet. Here are a few highlights:
    Throgs Neck Bridge


    RFK & Hell's Gate Bridges


    Wall St. Downtown Heliport


    Statue of Liberty


    Ground Zero

    This should be on DIRTY JOBS.

    How could they do this to you?
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    If you go to my Flickr link, you'll see I caught Pink Delta on the taxiway with the Piedmont US Airways A319 in the background.

    Those are great, thanks. Reminds me many years ago when I use to fly on the old NY Airways copter. Like was said nothing like 3000 ft over NYC. Everyone needs to do that :borat:

    Great shots, though I have to admit I prefer the ride down around 800' :borat:
