We get Blackhawks buzzing the city a couple times a week for the last few years. Love watching them go by, but it does make you think.
About 6 months ago or so, I was on a detail in a parking garage up on the 5th floor, I hear a bird coming and it always gets my attention just for the cool factor, as I looked around, I saw 3 or 4 Little Birds escorting one Blackhawk across the city. Pretty strange site around here.
We always get a lot of air traffic here in NYC & I am in the flight path for most chopper coming & going to NJ from/to Manhattan.
I'm also between JFK & Newark Airports - so I also see their different flights depending on the way the wind blows.
Strange item I saw (near end of summer) was 2 fighter jets flying overhead in a circular path encompassing the toll booth & looping half way across the Verrazano Bridge (VB) for 20 something minutes. I was standing by the Coast Guard PX and moved down to Gateway Nat'l Park off the western side of VB. Twice I exited my vehicle to watch them. I'd say they were no more than 3K feet high.

Cams, there's a reason for that, and it's not as insidious as you might think.

No I understand that, I wasn't thinking tinfoil hats and black helicopters. As I was thinking about it today after posting that I remembered there were some SEAL's training in the area doing boarding on ferries and some ships here. It was most likely them heading back for the night.
