Statue of Liberty overflight ends with police escort
An ultralight pilot received a police helicopter escort May 31 after he flew too close to the Statue of Liberty. According to press reports, the pilot came within 150 feet of the Statue of Liberty before being escorted to nearby Westchester County Airport in White Plains, N.Y. The pilot told reporters that he didn't realize security was so tight in the New York City area. "Pilots can't afford to make these kinds of mistakes," said Brittney Miculka, AOPA manager of security and borders.
