NYC - 2 Apr 12 (Blue Angels flight)

[Stonewall]

Got this courtesy notice from the NYPD Intel section so there's no panic as fighter jets scream down the Hudson River...

On Monday April 2nd, the US Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron ("Blue Angels") will execute a survey flight in the New York City area. The Blue Angels Aerial Survey Flight will consist of 2 F/A-18 Hornet Fighter Jets. The aircraft will conduct passes as low as 500 feet above ground level and at speeds up to 300 kts in order to familiarize and evaluate a potential flight course for the upcoming US Navy War of 1812 commemoration during this year's Fleet Week celebration in May. The Verrazano Bridge and the George Washington Bridge will serve as entry and exit points. The two aircraft will depart Republic Airfield in Farmingdale, NY and conduct multiple passes over the Hudson River between 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM, turning in the area south of the Verrazano and north of the George Washington bridges.

There probably will be, anyway, but regardless, enjoy.

One of the coolest things about working in downtown Chicago used to be the CA&WS practice days when the jets would be flying over, and what seemed like between, all the buildings.
