Buzz, that's the beauty of it!

BUT...when you fly it, you have to wear your hat, and put the headset on over the top of that, and squeeze your throat when you talk, just to keep the vintage look alive!

Default Pictures at LGA and JFK

Hurricane Sandy Airport Delays and Closures Live Updates


LGA

LaGuardia is closed with no planned reopening time. Several feet of water from Flushing Bay made it all the way to the terminals, which could mean damage to everything from the runway lighting to the jetways to the baggage handling equipment, and therefore a possible long wait before normal operations can resume.
