President To NYC Thursday

[Gerard]

To tour areas heavily impacted by Sandy.
Staten Island and Rockaways?
Use of Marine 1 likely to travel there I would think.

From the NBAA website because the FAA TFR page is down:

FDC NOTAMs 2/0841 (ZNY) and 2/0842 (ZBW) have been issued for the NEW YORK, NY area for November 15, 2012. These NOTAMs are identical, but required due to the TFR overlapping adjacent centers.

An 8 nautical mile TFR ring centered on JFK VOR/DME prohibits GA Operations at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) from 1100 local (1600z) until 1200 local (1700z) and again from 1400 local (1900z) until 1515 local (2015z) on November 15, 2012. *** Due to its proximity to the 8 nautical mile TFR, certain operations at La Guardia Airport (LGA) may not be available during the above times. ***

An 8 nautical mile TFR ring centered on CRI261010.2 prohibits GA Operations at Linden (LDJ) from 1145 local (1645z) until 1445 local (1945z) on November 15, 2012. ***Due to its proximity to the 8 nautical mile TFR, operations at Newark International (EWR) may be significantly impacted during the above times. Also, all the Manhattan heliports will be open, but due to their proximity, operators should expect non-standard routing during the TFR. ***

A 30 nautical mile TFR ring centered on CRI287003.7 has additional restrictions between the 8 nautical mile and 30 nautical mile areas from 1100 local (1600z) until 1515 local (2015z) on November 15, 2012.


Saw them doing a test run with four Sea Knights on Monday.

Looked like he landed JFK, did an extensive tour on Marine 1, landed at an LZ in Staten Island then back to JFK.

Yes, I was tanning on Coney beach on Monday and saw the Sea Knights doing a test run over Coney westward in the PM; never saw them again. My friend again saw them returning to JFK over Sheepshead Bay around 1430 on Thurs., but I missed them. I guess Marine One landed somewhere near the old Miller Field in Staten Island.

[Gerard]

Yes they used Miller Field as the LZ. Interesting that MANY years ago I saw Daddy Bush land there as President on a rare visit to Staten Island.
Dude, TANNING? :tongue::confused::cool:
