Just spotted 4 F-18s in formation over flying my house 15nm NE of LGA. Looked like they heading to LGA at 2,000ft.

Actually headed for New York Harbor for the Fleetweek Parade of Ships. we also observed a squadron of Amphibious Helicopter's heading south down the Hudson from our tower at LGA. CBS 880 Radio news earlier reported several WW2 era planes did a flyover as did a Korean War era fighter jet. And as I was typing this a US Navy C-9A (DC-9-30) departed Runway 4 at LGA !

Did the F-18s depart LGA?

Never landed at LGA Senga, when you saw them they where headed for a flyover in New York Harbor !

should be over my place soon since i am on the hudson river
I hear more fighters
The F-18s are from VFA-87 "War Party" and there should be three F-14s from VF-31.
There were a LOT of military jets out there today. About 6 different types.
Also, for the props: Osprey, Orion, C-130, Hawkeye, etc.
Korean era jet early in the day, but didn't see the reported WWll Warbirds.
Modern acrobat bi-planes with a modern cessna or piper leading the way I thought.

Senga, I am surprised you don't have one of your clones on sight at the Hudson River ? Slipping are we ?
