Recently, I spotted a UPS aircraft flying over Midtown. I knew it wasn't from LGA because it was heading in a NE direction. When I looked the flight up, UPS 235, I learned that it was a EWR departure off of Rwy 22R heading to the UK. It was a GREKI departure. Somehow, I never realized that EWR departures fly-over Midtown. Now I know.

Yup, when my Wife and I flew to Barcelona for our honeymoon we departed out over Manhattan. Beautiful at night.

I did happened to catch this UPS 767 flying over the Bronx 2 months. Here she is over the Bronx from EWR early in the morning..

I love those departures...it's the only glimpse at heavies I get here near LGA. I often see Virgin's morning A340 service to LHR climbing overhead as I walk to the train in the AM.
