Folks,

  

 As we fly our photo survey missions, our navigation  software records our 3D position. We had an interesting flight the other day,  and for the first time we dumped the 'breadcrumbs' of our flight into Google  Earth. I know other folks here have used Google to view things, so I thought I  would post a file to our website. It's pretty small. On our 'Downloads Page' is  a file, "New York Flight". You can right-click, save and unzip the file, then  double-click the file if you have Google Earth.

  

 The job was down 1/2 mile south of JFK at 1200', though we  never made it. It was the day the whole system went down (last Friday, I think).  

  

 You intercept the Hudson River and fly southbound on the  west side. I hit the river at about West Point and dropped to 1500'. Following  the river down, NY wanted me to cross the George Washington, hang a left over  Central Park, a right down the East River, and then turn 130(?) after the  Williamburg Bridge.

  

 Just shy of the bridge I was told the system was down, JFK  couldn't take me, what do you want to do? Took a second to figure that out and  told LaGuardia however they got me eastbound to Hyannis (out on Cape Cod) was  fine with me.

  

 Got told to do a 180, fly up the eastern edge of the East  River until the tip of Roosevelt Island. Then hang a right and head direct for  the Laguardia Tower cab, and then the south stanchion of the Throgs Neck  Bridge.

  

 I was awful worried about my geography holding up at that  point, but I did ok. (Went into the City a lot as a kid.)

  

 Out around Newport RI we spotted a sailboat race starting,  and saw some beautiful boats heeled hard over, so I had to drop down and have  Shaun fire the camera. You can see the decent in the flight path.

  

 Hit our job on the Cape, figured we'd head back for New  York City and try our luck again, but passing Islip we gave up and shut the nav  system down.

  

 Try 'tipping' the view at a pretty good angle to view it,  and then drag along and follow. You can also run an animation on the  track........

  

 Hoping some might get a kick out of  this......

  

 Steve

Steve G.,

  

 I think I just figured out how to sign with 'Steve  at Col-East.'

  

 I'm very sure you wouldn't want anyone thinking you  were me.
