"SENATOR CALLS FOR HUDSON CORRIDOR CLOSURE, ADIZ-LIKE RULES
Pilots who've done it say there's no better way to see New York City but
a local senator wants to close the so-called Hudson River Corridor to
GA. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) claims New York City is being
shortchanged on security by the existence of the uncontrolled VFR
corridor and he believes the Big Apple deserves the same sort of GA ban
that Washington, D.C., has. "If they can do it for Washington, they can
do it for New York," he told a news conference. Now, we're not sure if
Schumer is envious of the 15-nm no-fly zone in Washington or the Air
Defense Identification Zone (neither of which has bagged a single
criminally minded pilot to date) but he's particularly upset with the
Hudson River Corridor (which he calls the Hudson River Approach)."
