Floatplane

Your dripping wet presence here might indicate that your PPL might enjoy the same tenure. The Shirley flight might indicate a guy that knew how to work with ATC, and get where he was goin' in some of the worlds busiest Airspace. He obviously had a very successful restaurant, (and whatever on the side) that afforded a comfortable life style and he obviously loved his airplane and flyin'.

Any pilot that can routinely go pleasure flyin' in that airspace and pull it off for years might have taught you a thing or two over a drink at His bar!

May they Rest In Peace and their families not read All that passes for a pseudo informed comment on the internet.

There also is a 158th St & Riverside Dr in Queens, north side on the East River. There is a marina at that location. (No marina near the similarly named Manhattan location.)

You really expect Accurate reporting in the airline/aviation industry by news reporters.. I mean really!

-- Queens, my home boro, does have a Riverside Rd! -- 1 block long -- So it was Long Island Sound --

I was researching this on various news outlets but find no mention of an impairment. Does anyone have additional information on this? A medical emergency?

Really? Verifiable examples please.

In the meantime go count the fender benders and fatal incidents with cars and trucks on the street.
