Oddly, I'd no problems in the same neighborhood just a few hours later:

This was down the Hudson at 1500, left turn over Midtown, right turn down
the East River, around Battery Park and then back up the Hudson. I didn't
even know about this incursion into the class B until I read the USENET
post to which I'm replying.

But the statements like "a dangerous gap in the city's terror-fighting
capability" and "the issue of flying near major landmarks should be
revisited" have me quite concerned that I won't be able to make this trip
much longer.

Can someone explain why this fellow, after telling ATC he was heading for
Republic, decided to circle the Statue? Did he at least tell them of his
intentions?
