Fleet Week NYC 2015

[LordFerret]

For those of you in the area (and even those of you not), Fleet Week 2015 started earlier this week in NYC. There was an awesome flyby of the Airforce Thunderbirds just a little bit ago. If you're in the area, anywhere near the area, near the waterfront ... plenty to see.

I'm sure by the end of today, going into the weekend, you'll also be able to find plenty of event footage online - YouTube & LiveLeak & such.

I just read an article on Jalopnik about someone getting a ride in a V-22 to the San Antonio. My that was an awesome piece. Pity no video of it

Yes, good article.

We've got a family friend (RIP) who was a helicopter pilot (and decorated combat pilot in two wars), who once crashed one of his helicopters in the Pine Barrens of southern NJ... was quoted as saying (that) unlike an airplane, a helicopter is trying to kill you every second. Awesome similar quote about the Osprey in that article lol.
