Remind us slower/newer guys of your website URL so that we can find
it?

Subject: Commander-List: Google Commander Flight
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

Hi JimBob,
Remember we had lunch with one of your pals from the airport who used to
fly the 500B's with Eastern Airlines?
Don Girod used to fly them too and he was asking the name of your pal.
If you let me know, I'll pass it on. Did he run a Type Group too?
If not, what are the two Type Groups run by guys at Grove?
I think I remember one was the Navion Society. Was the other one the
Globe Swift?
Sincere Best Regards,
Barry
