Scenes from a recent trip to New York City

The following pictures are from a recent trip to the NYC area. We landed at Teterboro ( KTEB ) which is in New Jersey. I would have liked to have taken some shots from the cockpit during our approach to KTEB but we were far to busy. So these are a few pics from the trip into the city.


This is Times Square...much more
impressive at night.
More Times Square, very Vegas like when the
lights are on at night.
A popular place to take a picture. The Hello Deli
is right around the corner. I went in and there
was Rupert behind the counter. Very weird.


A shot from inside Central Park.


A shot of Central Park from the 86th floor of
the Empire State Building.


This is the other side of the Empire State
Building looking toward the financial district.


The Statue of Liberty from the 86th floor of
the Empire State Building.



Looking up the Empire State Building. It's
big!



Now for a few pics of the "people" that make
New York City an interesting place.



The iconic Naked Cowboy.



Yes it can be a strange place.

More Pictures of the flight to Sun Valley

The first picture is of a crater close to Hailey, Idaho. Don't know if it's man made or not. The rest of the pictures are mostly of Colorado from FL390 ( 39,000 ft) to FL410 ( 41,000 ft ).









Ah Sun Valley

Here are pictures from a quick turn trip to Sun Valley, ID. The winds were fierce at KSUN when we landed. Lots of LLWS ( Low Level Wind Shear ). Sun Valley Airport is one of those fun airports that is kind of boxed in on one side. So, as a result of the mountains, the typical procedure is to land in one direction and take off in the opposite direction. We approached the airport to runway 31 and then later departed runway 13. Beautiful area, great town.
