C-54 takeoff 3/11/11

Yes - they had to contact JFK tower when they were ready to depart.

How often do flight occur over there?

Other than NYPD helicopters, the next thing to show up over there will be this C-54, when it returns for winter maintenance in December...but it wouldn't kill you to spend a little time touring the HARP restoration hangar either.

In other words, not often

NYPD and any other aircraft departing or landing at FBF always contact JFK Tower.

to a point. FBF isn't controlled. NYPD a/c will be in contact with JFK while they're in the air but once they're sure they can land that's it for JFK's control. we'd call "landing assured" and at that point are basically on our own as far as collision avoidance goes. same goes for 500EJ as far as i know.

Well how about you exit the Belt Parkway at Flatbush Ave for FBF. You will definitely see it on the Left side. Drive past it almost to the tool booths and the entrance is there.

Tim is the pilot and I can not believe he asked me to go for a ride. It was amazing as you can not purchase a ride
in this classic war transport bird. This was a Great Birthday Present! THANK YOU TIM!
