Check out this video shot during take off from New York’s LaGuardia Airport (LGA) on the way to Salt Lake Cit (SLC) via Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFW) on Friday afternoon, January 22. It was a perfect flying day with a perfect view -- an exemplary perspective of a Big Apple Atmosphere!
The video is kind of long (just under 6 minutes), so I posted a few cool points below (indicated by minute) if you wish to not watch the whole thing.
00.00 Take off from LGA / 02:15 Sunshine over New York / 03:00 A beautiful horizon / 03:45 Here comes the city / 04:15 View of Central Park / 04:25 Looking downtown / 04:50 Over the Hudson River / 05:10 The island of Manhattan
So... does this remind anyone of Sully’s flight path???

Ever since I was a young boy I loved the weather!
There was very little that excited me more than watching The Weather Channel since its inception in 1982. Bringing weather to life was the Channel's goal, and it delivered! I remember watching the local forecast as intense lines of storms progressed towards Edison, New Jersey (where I grew up), and being called by my father to join him on the front porch as he watched the storms close in on our neighborhood. I'd run back and forth between the gusty front porch that lied beneath the darkening sky to the cool air-conditioned living room, starring at the television as I glared at the storms getting closer and closer. As the line of vibrant red's and orange's intensified, so did my interest! My obsession for weather was born, and that's where it started!
With the tools I needed at my disposal I continued to closely follow various weather phenomenon: deadly mid-western tornado outbreaks, extreme Mississippi River flooding, Hurricanes Hugo and Andrew, crippling northeastern blizzards like the '93 Superstorm, earthquakes in the Golden State, volcanoes along the Pacific Rim... you name it!
Nearly 30 years later, those who know me well would say I have not changed all that much.
