Frankly, having lived, worked, and flown here for so long, I can't figure out
what he did . . . or why. This was at 1:30 in the afternoon (according to the
reports I saw), bright blue VFR sky. Maybe if it was at night I could see
"confusion".

George, why do you say this?

He'd left Sky Acres en route to Republic (where he was based) according to
news reports. A logical pilotage route is down the Hudson.

I wouldn't go that way unless I was *planning* a scenic run of Manhattan. If
so, he would have to be (at minimum) familiar enough with the basic geography
to know Hudson and East Rivers w/ Manhattan between them.
Something clearly doesn't add up to me. If he was on the Hudson southbound,
why turn toward LGA and get off the highway?

The news reports have taken a more ominous tone like "buzzing the Statue of
Liberty", etc . . . and I know why. It is very important to keep us afraid, so
we can continue to "terrorize" ourselves. Fox News has "Terror Alert: HIGH"
permanently on the screen 24/7 now. The whole thing is so ridiculous. I pray
we pilots aren't the only ones who recognize what our nation is rapidly
becoming . . . cowering, ignorant, poorly educated, self-absorbed, gullible,
simple-minded, platitude-spouting, sheeple.

I love the term "no-fly zones". Like suicidal Muhammad is gonna re-think his
plan because Mayor (fill-in the blank) got a "no fly zone" around his city.
Sure . . .

Geeze . . . :-(
