Night flight over New York
One aircraft, one city, and the people who have seen it from her right seat.
A night departure, out over the water with the skyline burning away to the north. Richard flew it in October 2026, aboard N9737W — a 1960s Piper Cherokee the crew call Lady Azzurra. Tracked on the way round, she covered 52.5 nautical miles, climbed to 1,400 feet and touched 111 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.
