The Last To Know

I have been flying tours around NY City for a couple of Years. The Down Town heliport is still running strong. The rumor we heard was that the W 30 Heliport for site seeing was going to be moved to the barge with the possibility of moving it a little north of its current location.

The main obstacle we face is Sen. Schuma who wants to regulate helicopters flying to the Hamptons for the week end. he would like them 2 miles off of shore and 2000 feet.

The tour operators have gone out of their way to reduce noise. The truth is that if you stand in the street in Manhattan the helicopters can barley be heard.
