Flew the Hudson River for the 1st time
Yesterday in the NJ/NY was a really nice day to be flying; it's still somewhat warm and there wasn't a cloud in the sky for most of the day. I was flying with the instructor again (needed to do another .2 sim instrument, and we brushed up a little on air work) and after he had me navigate to Old Bridge he asked if I wanted to try flying up the Hudson River. Since it's definitely something I'd want to do (with pax) as soon as I'm able, I definitely took him up on it.
Since I live on one side of the water and work on the other, I was able to see both on the trip. It's a really nice view from an airplane there. I'm so glad that the corridor is open there.
We went as far up as the GW Bridge before we turned back around. Did one circle of the Statue of Liberty and then headed back to the airport. My first comment on it? "This is way cooler than Flight Sim," but that shouldn't really be a surprise. I'm sure my fiancee will love it when I get to take her around.
