Flight to Poughkeepsie then Hudson Corridor

Post by David »

3 of the RVs in the area took a trip for Breakfast to Poughkeepsie Sky Acres

Then return down the Hudson Corridor under ATC control. We flew the Corridor as a flight of three. The number 1 ship contacted ATC and did the radio work, #2 and #3 monitored Freq. Vectored down the Hudson and then a hard left over Central Park before the TFR, then a right down the East River to the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.
