Night Flying

On the way back from a long night xc on sept 11 i detoured down the Hudson. NY was super accommodating! They let us circle the freedom tower. Sometimes you just have to ask! This was by far my most memorable flight ever.

Tribute in Light is a commemorative public art installation first presented six months after 9/11 and then every year thereafter, from dusk to dawn, on the night of September 11. It has become an iconic symbol that both honors those killed and celebrates the unbreakable spirit of New York

Me and my buddy in his C172 heard you circling and decided to ask too. We didn't even know that was a thing they could authorize!
