    Sick NYC Airport Delays Today

    News articles are saying LGA arrival delays were averaging about 5 hours at one point this morning. They are now down to 1 hour 29 minutes due to WEATHER / LOW CEILINGS. 2 1/2 hours at JFK, a little over an hour heading to EWR.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Some crazy stuff is going down at LGA right now...they're on the ILS 4 approach, which goes right over my house, and everyone is coming in low and slow...

    Lots of S-turns too.

    I heard them landing on 4 in the snow last night, visibility was too low to actually see them, wish I could have gone to Planeview...not ideal for shooting, but would have looked neat up close.

    We had some cool 13 arrivals late Tues night, they are very fun to watch in the snow at night.

    My worst at work today was US 1182 A-321 CLT-LGA, left CLT 4 hours 1 min late due to weather/ATC in the NE earlier in the day. Everything got cleaned up nicely and got to go home on time at 2130 with only a few terminators left.
