Not aviation unless she is carrying a few helicopters or a V-22 I guess, but for those interested the newest USS New York arrives in New York City on Monday Novemeber 2nd, 2009 at 7:30AM by the Verazzano.
The ship contains 7.5 tons of steel recovered from the World Trade Center site.
Should be some good photo ops, here is the complete schedule

is the ship going to be "parkin" by the verranzano bridge until the ceremony, or is that where it's going to be held?
it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
Pier 88 next to the Intrepid.

I believe there is a V-22 aboard or has the capacity to carry it.

i'm wondering if it would be better to go under the vaerranzano or the west side. my gut tells me that the west side is going to be crammed to it's fullest meaking a good clear shot hard to come by.

You'll get better views from under the VZ but miss the 21 gun salute by Ground zero
This vessel is amazing. What an arsenal.
Best of luck for photos :)
i've seen enough of those already and i'm only 30 years old.

Where's the best place to park and spot on the east side of the Verrazano ??
I was thinking either on northside or southside in one of the small parking lots right off the Belt ?
Was just curious if anyone has spotted from either of those locations before ?
Notify NYC: There will be a 21-gun salute 8am Mon from deck of USS New York in the Hudson near WTC site. Expect repetitive loud noises.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
