and i did see some military helicopters crossing the Hudson in route to i guess JFK at around 8:25
His flight arrived 20 minutes early and we were out of there by 8PM. Did get a nice look of AF1 sitting over
by the hangars.
I heard several passing today; they woke me up. I live in Oakland Gardens (North Queens) and I saw one CH-47F Chinook and before that one that looked like a Bell AH-1Z Viper (going based on google images to best-match what I saw). I've been in New York since 1992 and I don't recall ever hearing or seeing military choppers in these parts before.
The Marines are here!!! 8) That was a Sea Knight and Cobra part of the MAGTF demos going on. They have oneOriginally Posted by johnandrewnyc
at 10Am in Flushing Meadows Park so that was probably where they were going. Get there before 2 and you can see
them depart.
I think all the chopper sightings are related to the air show for Fleet Week on Sunday over the Hudson River. I spotted 3 A-10's and an Osprey heading north over the Hudson. The guy at the Intrepid said they had an air-sea rescue demo but I missed it as the West Side was jammed with traffic on Memorial Day. The NY Daily News said there was some sort of chopper demo on Sat. at Flushing Meadows involving the Osprey.
Forget the Daily News. Check out OUR reporters and photogs here on the website.

two (properly) green UH-60s flew southbound over the hudson around 1000ft AGL. also, 401CV was at the east 30th st heliport when i passed there about 20 min prior.
it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
