    Closest "spot" for pictures (subject-distance wise) will be Inwood Park but unfortunately, no tower shots from there :-(

    What are the odds of shooting her first pass at Inwood and then hustling over to Bayswater for the Tower Shot if they follow the original postings and don't scale it back.

    I am really tempted to try that Manny but I am worried about them scaling back the flyovers and just coming in.

    I'm gonna take the huge risk and go the pier in NJ to shoot north at the statue of liberty. If the path remains the same, I should see it come back when it comes back from going north up the West Side of NYC and maybe even a pass across the statue of liberty...

    Anyone else think thats possible?

    you should have plenty of time for that.
    It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do

    It's a GO for Friday. Despite the prediction of strong gusts, they plan to launch since no cross-winds are predicted; just a strong NW flow. So charge your batteries, pack your lenses and good-luck. Hope this historic moment finally is upon us. Later I'll post to ask which hangar she'll be secluded in. Enjoy!

    As seen in this photo - http://blogs.denverpost.com/captured.../5059/#photo53

    I think if I shoot at 600mm or 840mmm or even risk it and go 2x on the 600 I can get something for my trouble at 1200mm...

    Anyways - I'd love to hear some thoughts on this...

    I like this Inwood/Bayswater change up idea. I might have to do that as well. For those of you going to Inwood, what time do you plan on arriving?
