    Yes - they had to contact JFK tower when they were ready to depart.
    KC-135 - Passing gas & taking names!

    In other words, not often
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

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

    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.
