Thanks Guys

fox news = redneck news

I've flown this corridor many times as a helicopter pilot...it can be congested at times....you have to have your head on a swivel. The Liberty Pilots are all fairly low-time guys I think (building time-most have at least 1500hrs), but all the ones I've met were good pilots....I'm not sure about the airplane...where was the communication? Its a CTAF VFR corridor-anytime I've flown it, it was alive with CTAF chatter-I'd be willing to bet the airplane pilot had low time-anyhow, its such a tragedy.

I was hoping Rudy Guiliani and Larry Silverstein died in the helicopter. I'll NEVER FORGIVE THEM FOR 9/11

This report is the most accurate I've seen. The tower's jurisdiction ends before the river. Pilots are supposed to see and avoid in this area. Both pilots are responsible for this tragedy. I can't believe the controllers are taking any heat for this at all.

Also look at NYC chart and tell me how else can I fly VFR from Linden to say Westchester County airport?

[syeager9]

I used to fly from Linden and Hudson is a very convenient shortcut to upstate NY, CT and MS. It's not sightseeing for me, though I always enjoyed the view. But sightseeing is a business to make money for cocksuckers like you. I've been observing helicopter operations and always knew that accident like this is waiting to happen. As I said before, on at least 2 occasions they deliberately flew very close to my Cessna, so I could see their faces looking at me.

What really suxs is that my friend is dead so some cocksucker like you can fly down the Hudson sightseeing rather than aviating. Why cant you just get up with tower? and btw central park is not a reporting point

[syeager9]

Call me stupid GA pilot. OK. Doesn't bother me. But I just transit the area. Keep the same altitude, same heading, same speed. Announce my position. But when someone is climbing from below and ahead of me a lower speed, how I am supposed to see him? This area was safe for decades. What sux it's that they will put restrictionst. And pros can be as dumb as anyone else. Commercial ticked doesn't make you any more careful. And flying the same pattern can make anyone more reckless.

[kmp1978]

You are a typical stupid GA airplane pilot jerk off. Yeah we cant all see each other. Thats why WE talk on the radio. I've worked on the Hudson for years and every helicopter pilot out there is a skilled professional.

FoxNews fair & balance, O'reilly Factor & Glen Beck tell it like it is. Hannity annoys me.

CNN, MSNBC liberal pos.

[syeager9]

I flew this corridor many times. It's quite safe. But sightseeing helicopters think they own the skies over Hudson. They take off from midtown heliport and then make a climbing turn south. Certainly planes transiting the area can't see them below. On several occasions these helies flew right alongside my plane very close. Guess just to entertain tourists. And often they don't even bother to announce their position or intentions on the radio as they supposed to.

anything but Fox (CNN or MSNBC will do most of the time). however some people on those channels can be annoying (Dobbs, Olbermann, and Schultz)
