Floating up the Hudson

My girlfriend looked out the window one morning last week and was surprised to see this:

Headed for the air museum on the dock?

There is a lot of interesting aviation traffic along the Hudson corridor, but admittedly, most of it is in the air.  My wife, before we were married, lived in the Shipyard in Hoboken. I used to love sitting on her balcony and watch the aircraft fly by. You never know what you might spy.  I've seen everything from Cobras (I guess they were technically Vipers) to Ospreys to Hornets.

Did Sully land that thing?

Being towed to the Intrepid museum.

Up here in semi-rural NY there is a lot of interesting airplane traffic from Stewart AFB as well as helicopter traffic from West Point and even Camp Smith, mostly over the Hudson as well. I can see a big swathe of the river from my office window. Always a great view, no matter the time of year.

In colder winters there is Coast Guard ice breaker traffic as well, but not since 2021 I don't think.

That thing flew over the 125th anniversary reenactment of 1st Manassas back in 1986 and my buddy Ron jumped out of formation, pointed at it and yelled "RODAN!!!" and ran off into the woods.

The one & only time I visited the Twin Towers, my most vivid memory is of looking down and seeing a small plane flying over the Hudson.  Seemed really strange to look down from a building and see an aircraft flying.
