Flying in & Out of NYC 2022

[MplsTodd]

Here's some aerials of NYC and vicinity I took last weekend while flying in and out of LaGuardia. It was a connecting flight and even though using NYC added a few extra hours, I hoped to have decent weather to take photos. Luckily it was sunny! Although I didn't opt for the spendy Comfort Plus Seats, so some photos also include exhaust trails.

Spectacular aerials. The LGA approaches have some amazing views.

Amazing photos, Todd.

Great pics! The Susquehanna is a neat and unique river because it's very old, wide, long but also really shallow in many spots and in Harrisburg you can walk across it most of the time and the water can be only ankle deep.

Good topic, I was flying in and out for total 6 times in 2011.

Since never see a near end of cov19,

Thanks, MrNYC! With that kind of view, I was very busy and having a blast! I can’t believe how many people kept their blinds down and didn’t even check out the view.
Ohio’s doing pretty well (if I don’t delve into politics). I was just down in Cincinnati and was impressed with activity in OTR, DT and many neighborhoods. Columbus is growing well and Cleveland has a decent amount too.

Great shots, Todd.

Superb post. Love the way you identified the photo locations.

Really appreciate this. Heading to NYC for the first time ever in a few weeks.

I like the Staten Island shot with the ferry docks.
