Introductory flight lesson over New York
One aircraft, one city, and the people who have seen it from her right seat.
A first hour at the controls of a real aeroplane, flown over one of the best views in the world. Matthew flew it in September 2026, aboard N9737W — a 1960s Piper Cherokee the crew call Lady Azzurra. Tracked on the way round, she covered 29.1 nautical miles, climbed to 1,100 feet and touched 110 knots over the ground. Every flight here is a real flight in one real aeroplane, flown from the New York area and always subject to weather.
Private flight in the same aeroplane, a Certified Flight Instructor in the right seat, weather permitting.
Every entry in this logbook is one real flight in one real aeroplane — a 1960s Piper Cherokee the crew call Lady Azzurra. Nominate someone for the next free seat.
