Flying the NY Skyline
I will be in Manhattan on 11 & 12 July and would like to rent an aircraft (with an instructor knowledgeable of the area) to fly a scenic tour around NY.
Has anybody ever done this, or have tips for this and where to go?

There are basically two options:
1. Below 1300ft in the special flight rules area without a clearance, but sticking to common traffic procedures.
2. Or with a clearance along the Skyline Route up to 2000ft with altitudes assigned by ATC.

And you'll need the TAC as well.

I guess too late for Ellemeet, but I got a great welcome and the services of an instructor/safety-pilot from these people last week :
Fischer Aviation | NY/NJ Area Flight School at Essex County Airport
I flew with Felix.
My PPL documents were required, as was a deposit up front.
And yes, it was breathtaking. The sort of experience that reminds one why we bother putting up with the hassles of aviation.
