Decided to do a little night flight around NYC. Rather than fly out of the big three airports I figured I’d utilize the seaplane port next to LGA and give the Icon A5 a whirl. What a lovely plane for sightseeing. Slow, nice visibility, and very easy to fly.
Flew down the the east river.
Realized my graphics settings weren’t as high as they should be.
A very blade runner rendering of the bridges.
Now on ultra settings.
Passing the southern tip of Manhattan, lady liberty comes into view.
Circling back toward the city.
I line up with 11th ave.
I fly up the Hudson a bit and back down before crossing over the west side into central park. I circle low inside the park for a bit considering if the Icon can land in Central Park Lake before thinking better of the idea. Totally going to try in daylight though.
I land back at LGA
