Went to NYC Thursday

Usually we fly into local county airports but we had a walkthrough to look at the demo of LaGuardia Airport so we decided to land there. We have a Piper Navajo twin piston prop. It's CRAZY taking a small private commercial plane in there. We had a 15 minute slot to hit for landing and then found out that you just can't request a slot for take-off (even though they told our pilot we could when he made landing reservations). We ended up getting out about an hour later than we planned but it's a 5 hour drive each way without traffic so an hour flight was still better than driving

Sunrise about 15 minutes earlier than it actually occurs because we were at about 4000'





Supposedly Trumps Cessna Citation next to us, Peter Nygard's Super 727 behind (some women's fashion designer)





We were in a line of about 20 for take-off. This is just before take-off looking at the line behind us





A parting shot of NYC:
