Guys,

 

One of the things I've been wanting to do since completing my plane was to
fly the Hudson Valley corridor through NYC.  Yesterday was a perfect day for
it.  Flew down to Greenwood Lake NJ (4N1) with a group of guys I fly with
(152/172's, so I needed to give them a big head start).  Had lunch there,
then flew down the Hudson VFR corridor North to South, around the lady, back
up North then back home to Worcester MA.  It was a little bumpy, but a
beautiful clear day.  Let the AP keep it at 1100' (except around the Statue
of Liberty, dropped down to 900).  Speed limit is 140kts, so kept it around
120kts.  Pretty spectacular views.  Here's the video (GoPro mounted outside
at the top/center of the windscreen):
