Looks like neat track http://www.mail2600.com/cgi-bin/track.cgi?call=KD8IIR&last=1 and a good use of our little machines. On weekends you can visit NY City, see 4th of July fireworks and a Broadway Show.
I was planning to meet Ted but my work schedule has changed

I am home

Vlad,

Hope you get a few days off after putting in so much time this weekend.

After toured Manhattan, we went to Philly to visit a friend before heading home. It has been a great weekend trip (minus not meeting you). We had tailwind going up. On our returning trip, half the way we had tailwind too! What else can I ask. Here is the link to our trip photos:

You buzzed my workplace Ted. The Central Park Route is right above us. I am down there at E 76 Street

Nice pictures!

Too busy looking for other traffic and forgot to wave to you.
Usually La Guardia tower give fixed wing clearance to fly at 1,500'. We were lucky to get a "fly current altitude and cross central park at or below 2,000'" clearance. I took the advantage to fly around 1,000'. Great view!

This at 500':

Thank You Ted!

We had some fun up here. Flew from Linden to Central Jersey N47 for fuel and then worked our way to the Statue of Liberty. The weather was excellent and RV-9A N103LF enjoyed it too. Thank you very much Ted for the ride and encouragement! http://www.mail2600.com/cgi-bin/track.cgi?call=KD8IIR&last=1

NY fun

After a long lunch in Doylestown, PA we made it back home (flew low and slow due to headwind). Since you mentioned it, I have to post a picture of you. It should be named: "Vlad noses the Lady".

Flying Wrong Direction

I know he likes our area very much but take a look http://www.mail2600.com/cgi-bin/track.cgi?call=KD8IIR&last=1 Ted is heading in opposite direction We need to make improvements to APRS telemetry to alert him. Do you hear me Pete Howell?

WOW

Finally he realized that NYC is on the other side and he turned East. I hope he was not involved in discussion with his first officer about VAF policy

OK we are waiting for report from you Ted why you fly Zig Zag. APRS is a great stuff to watch.
