Default Radar track of Lidle's aircraft caught on Passur

I looked at the footage from the LGA Passur site... same thing.

I know nobody should be speculating at this point, so I'll just say
that compared to the Hudson river corridor, the East River corridor is
quite a bit tighter in terms of the area you have to work in when
making the turn at the 59th St. Bridge. Even at maneuvering speed, you
want to make the turn as tight as possible, both to avoid straying into
LGA's airspace, and also to (obviously) avoid hitting anything in
Manhattan.


Why should nobody be speculating at this point?
