You’ll fly over lower Manhattan’s Battery Park and world-renowned Wall Street, and pass historic Governor’s Island before gliding on to greet the legendary Statue of Liberty.

The awesome experience continues as the view from Ellis Island up to the U.S.S. Intrepid unfolds before you. Your highly trained pilot will take you further on the Hudson River to view the fabled playground of New Yorkers, Central Park. Then swing past the Empire State Building and the Brooklyn Bridge and look down on the inspiring re-building work at Ground Zero.
