I'm also been talking to Barry and also got that info from him today. Will have photos and story in July EAA Light Plane World. Legal but perhaps not prudent. All might have been avoided if he had notified park officials of his plan.
The fiasco with the media comes from believing details without question because the report came from WSJ. Even the aviation media was suckered. The "intercept" is a hoot. Barry saw the then unidentified NYCPD craft behind him on his PCAS display and actually called them first.
Initial report blamed on a park employee who had never seen an "ultralight" flying where the helicopters are usually seen.
Barry said news blog posters were saying he should have been shot down
and he was not fit to ride a bicycle let alone fly a plane. It's a feeding frenzy out there.
