A French Navy Aérospatiale Dauphin was flying up and down the Hudson this morning doing some sightseeing(taking photos too) around Manahattan and the Statue of Liberty. It then went and landed on the BEM Monge near the Verrazano, which is a French missle tracking and space observing ship.

Send a troop of Boy Scouts to commandeer her!
They fought the Civil Air Patrol and lost.
And you know first hand about fighting the CAP :shock:Quote:

They were here to welcome us to the family of socialist nations...that is until they surrendered to a departing Liberty Helicopters sightseeing tour. Boy were those tourists confused.
HAHA. I forgot about that, I do!Quote:

Wasn't me. I was out voting for McCain and buying a large coffee (black, no sugar thank you). Must have been another Starbucks store manager you saw. :DQuote:

Probably the most interesting maritime visitor so far this year.... We get USA-NAVY Bataan on Wednesday... A good run on Military vessels this year... South Korean Navy, Italian & Netherlands Submarines, Canadian Refueler and the list goes on....
Tom
Looks like a CNN broadcast vessel. :lol:
I was told at work today that until Tuesday(Veteran's Day) there will be a good amount of military helo's flying up and down the river for the re-opening of the Intrepid and Veteran's day. Today there was a flight of 2 Seahawks doing numerous flights up and down the river and then going back and forth to a ship off the coast.

Cool. thanks. I always wondered if foreign military helos buzzing around the Harbor and Manhattan kept in radio contact. It
makes sense since that area can be pretty busy with helo traffic.
