    Thanks, everyone!

    I don't really have any "secrets" -- just went to the Remsen St. end of the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and snapped away. I have more pix on Flickr. The N414PD shot is full-size here.

    Yup I was just about to say that. I did that YEARS ago with my video camera when Bush (Sr?) came in on a Saturday. I was
    actually able to get on to one of the piers and shot away. They used CH-53s as support that day. Always had the feeling I was
    being eyeballed from somewhere.

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

    FedEx is pretty quiet during the day, isn't it?

    Usually, but having a MD-10 /A300 movement during the day isn't unheard of either...

    I don't understand why they'd get upset....there are two taxiways there. I'm sure aircraft would be able to pass through still.
