fascinating.
the gliding distance chart above is fascinating...from the 1600' spot, it would seem that a modified straight in to runway 24 at TEB might have been possible...one could follow interstate 80 (freeway) and land there if miscalculations...cutting short the half circle on I80.
one must always ask of the sure thing...hudson was the sure thing...this chart/diagram may be wrong...funny how after the 1200 foot mark, it goes up to 1300 feet!!!!!!!!!
oh well
