What good is a flight over Niagara Falls, if you can't fly over it?

(We're planning on flying that way this summer, VFR.)


There's some stuff in the Airport/Facilities book about frequencies, directions
and altitudes to use when flying over the falls.


That's true, and that's good for VFR traffic. But I've seen airliners at
higher altitudes, presumably on an IFR clearance, doing a lap or two above
the falls at a much higher altitude.
