Which is generally how high? How bout the MEA's in the area?

The New York trio is 7,500', Philly is 7,500', and the Baltimore/DC trio is 10,000'.
Of course, the ADIZ reduces the utility of being able to get over the DC class-B.
Glancing at the IFR chart for this area, I see one MEA as low as 1,600' and a high of
14,000. Most are in the 2-5 thousand foot range. There have been noises about
increasing the NY class-B to 10,000'.

This marriage is off to a shaky start. The groom just asked the band to
play "Your cheatin' heart", and the bride just requested "Don't come home
a'drinkin' with lovin' on your mind".
