Robbie Culver submitted the following photo and note: “My friend Kirk took me on my first trip through the Hudson River VFR corridor in his beautiful Cessna Cardinal RG. NY approach, LaGuardia tower and Newark tower were all incredibly helpful.”
“As we passed the Freedom Tower I captured this photo. If you look close you can see the Ground Zero WTC memorial reflection pools.”
“What an amazing GA experience!”

Thank you. It was a truly memorable flight and a reminder of how lucky we are to be able to do this. ATC was just incredible. They basically gave Kirk everything he requested.
Beautiful flight and beautiful picture. We’re all so fortunate that we in GA can fly like this and that they still allow us the freedom to fly the Hudson River corridor given the events of 911.
I couldn’t agree more Jim. We’re truly blessed in this country with the privileges we are allowed as pilots, especially this particular route. Aviation opens up so much, and makes the world that much smaller for those that are willing to pursue it.
For instance, I know a guy named Kirk with a Cardinal RG…small world indeed.
Fly safely if you go up!
