So I'm sitting in my office with a great view of downtown Manhattan
watching the Blue Angels make what seems to be the last of five fly-bys up and down the East and Hudson Rivers (complete with a C-130 photo plane--door open of course and Fat Albert in trail). All this is for Fleet Week activities. I curiously go to the FAA TFR website to read what the TFR says and there's not a TFR to be found in the area. I figured there would be at least one for the Hudson River corridor VFR route since they seem to be at the ~1,000 ft MSL level which is the VFR altitude. Since there is no flight plan required to fly the corridor, I shudder to think about what events may transpire if I were to take the "scenic route" today. Anyone in the area try to fly the Hudson Corridor today or yesterday (May 24th)? Ahh, there's pass # 6 right over the Statue of Liberty. On a side note, saw the V-22 Osprey do a fly by while I was watching practically underneath its flightpath. That thing is quieter than a Cessna 150! Marco "accidental airshow patron" Leon |
