REFLECTOR: Hudson VFR corridor yesterday

[Mark Magee]

Geoff, 
Awesome vid. Must've had her near idle to drive that slow... :)

BTW, I heard a Piper went down in the Hudson yesterday: two souls recovered cold but OK. I think they were on the VFR corridor sight-see also.

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):
