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

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:
