Gothamspotter,
I am not familiar with those tanks or if they wer taken away. I did just not check out a satellite image and there appears to be 2 tanks still standing and 2 demo "HOLES" where 2 tanks had been. I don't know when the image was taken but maybe there are till there. If not...It always takes a while to get these things out of the database. I guess someone has to call it in. The less significant something is the longer it takes to get it taken out. AT the bottom of the chart it states"twin tanks added" so may there are 2 others.

Ahh yes, I see them. I always assumed they referred to the original Greenpoint tanks which were the largest natural gas tanks in the world. I attended their implosion in 2001. I've never seen the new tanks and from the satellite image they look relatively to be used as a navaid but what do I know. :)

would this make sense? last weds, I was driving north on pinelawn and looked west toward FRG, noticed a twin, possible a 757 or airbus, turning over he westbury area. And it looked at about 5000 feet. chekcing passur later, it was at 3700 over westbury, real low over the island too.

Mario,
I am not too familiar with the LI area so I can't really help you with that. Maybe someone else who knows the ara can assist here.

I will say though that the MSA (Minimum Saft Altitude) on the chart in 10 mile radius around ISP is 2100 feet West, Southwest and South. Northeast its 1700 feet.

It was less amazing than I had hoped. They went down really fast compared to a building, I guess since they were just hollow metal cans. My film decided to jam on me just as they were popping, so I didn't get any photos. :(

where is bald hill on this map- i belive thats where the ILS is

I assume you mean where the Vietnam Memorial is located, right? From what I can tell, it looks to be the 822' obstruction near the "CORAM" intersection.

[N790SW]

hey senga on the ISP maps wouldnt bald hill be on there

[N790SW]

hey senga wouldnt Bald Hill be on there for an ILS approach

[SengaB]

Bobby,
I did a search on that chart for that place you spoke of.
I think its the 647 foot "obstruction" that is just above the words "RIZER"

Sicenits a ILS plat you dont have to have it labled visually. All you need is the hight there.
I hope this helps
