Even though forecasts place this weekend's weather somewhere in a dismal hole, 13/31 will be closed at LGA and the likelihood of some cool weather effects is very high for both arrivals and departures on 04 or 22.
Personally, I may find myself at Planeview Park for a bit on Saturday and/or Sunday with the hope for a cool shot or nice stormy sunlight, but it looks like the chances of a large group getting out are pretty slim.
So for our new users like protonv5, ISP Pilot, DannyO, tipek, etc, who want to go out this weekend or any other, the directions to the park are very simple (courtesy of Jakbar).
Take the Grand Central Parkway westbound towards the city. Go past LGA (on the right) and take the exit for the Marine Air Terminal. Once you get to the first light, turn left and go over the overpass that crosses the Grand Central. At the next light (at the other end of the overpass), turn left onto 23rd Ave. On your right will be a field that we call "Landing Lights Park" because the landing lights for 04 are in the park. Keep going another couple of hundred feet, and Planeview Park is on your left on the other side of the street. It's a small park, but there are signs in the park that say "Planeview Park". It is very hard to miss--it's also right next to the College of Aeronautics.
Have fun,
Brian
