make the question short, and you seem like a good guy to ask.

Thanks. But are you sure you know me well enough to make that claim?

I meant you are familiar with the terrain.

If the VFR corridor is mainly to save the LGA controllers the
distraction of talking to planes on floats and helos using that short
strecth of the East River, and the only thing you can do without
busting the LGA bravo is fly up and make a U-turn, why does anybody do
that? Are they still burning that stuff under the 59th St bridge?

I'm not sure. The only time I ever did it was on a return trip to White
Plains from I think Atlantic City when I was cleared that way. They either
give you the over-water route or over-land route and the over land route
takes you way out of the way...

That's different. I meant like, you fly up the Hudson at a certain
altitude any you self-announce, and you start at, say Staten Island,
and you wind up at Tarrytown, and you've gone from here to there and
seen sights. You go up the East River a little bit and turn around,
and what's the point? It's an architectural revelation?


We've become a bunch of cowardly lions...

Sixth-graders packing heat? Scares *me*.

My sixth-grader doesn't pack heat. But it's OK to be scared of one who
does. Should they close the school system down because of it?

But now we've got loonies want to arm the kids so they can "take down"
the school invaders. Or arm the coaches or the football team or
something. I'd say "Welcome to Dodge," except in Dodge, they made the
cowboys turn in their hardware when they got to town.
