I suspect it was due to the shuttle, SCA, and all the various things sticking up in that area, but you never know...

Well, that sucked. Honestly, I should have put the pieces together before heading out. With Enterprise, the 747 carrier and all the cranes is a lot of clutter back there. I had no chance of making it back to Panera. Once again, maybe next time. I actually would have had a much better and closer from had I just stayed home :-(

Of course, after the golf course incident, they may have changed their routine...

I was at my sons baseball game tonight and saw the C-17 fly over us around 8:00 or so in a wide pattern as we were in Deer Park. He was most likely picking up the limos.

For the record, the helos came to Wall Street. 2x VH-3, 2x CH-46 (with another overhead), with PD19 providing aerial cover. They stayed at JRB all afternoon instead of returning to JFK.

Also, when the VC-25s are flying training missions, they now use the callsign VENUS.
