Fleet Week New York 2009

The Fleet Week 2011 Parade of Ships was on May 25.

Thank you to all those who served or are serving our country!
American and Canadian ships sail up the Hudson River pass the World Trade Center 911 Site / Freedom Tower Site on May 20, 2009 to open Fleet Week in New York City. Sailors stand at attention as they pass the Site. Footage from Jersey City, New Jersey with Lower Manhattan and the portion of Midtown with the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings as a background. Osprey helicopters and Hornet fighter aircraft fly overhead. Unfortunately I missed the Hornets because they flew over several minutes earlier than the public was told they would, so my camera was not on. Officials and work places were notified a few days in advance of the military aircraft flyover to avoid a repeat of the Statue of Liberty photo op involving Air Force One that occurred several weeks earlier.
