You call up NY Approach, VFR, and say "Request class bravo clearance at
1500 for some sightseeing down the Hudson River". The controller says,
"Cleared into the class bravo as requested".

Sometime later, you realize you havn't heard from them for a while and
upon calling, get no response.


My first thought would be to descend below 1,100 ft MSL, which is the
ceiling of the VFR corridor over the Hudson river, then turn north to fly
out of the corridor below class B to land at an uncontrolled airport.

I would not have thought to temporarily set the transponder to 7600, but
upon reading it here, I think doing do just before descending into the
corridor would be a good, quick way to let ATC know of the NORDO situation.
