I hadn't planned to be flying out of La Guardia last Sunday evening. The NYC Airporter that would have gotten me to JFK on time was full by the time I got to the stop. I had to take the next one and missed my check-in time by the time I got to the JFK. I missed the last flight to Miami leaving JFK that day. I went to the American Airlines resolution desk and there was a flight for Miami leaving out of La Guardia at 8:00 pm. I was placed on standby. NYC Airporter took me over to La Guardia at no extra charge.

It was kind of a treat because I had never been to La Guardia before and didn't know you could see Manhattan from there. By the time we were ready to board, there were 15 people on standby, but I was number one on the list. The flight was late and we stood on the runway for a good hour before takeoff because La Guardia was so backed up, but after takeoff, we took a flight path where we circled around and flew right over Manhattan. I had never seen Manhattan lit up at night from the air. That was a real treat! Time Square was as bright as a forest fire!

Can't wait to see those night time shots from the skies! Beautiful set, the city is full of life as expected. Manhattan is obviously overdeveloped. The next step for this city is to begin expanding beyond the east river. Downtown Brooklyn and LIC are growing. I'd like to see some of that growth expand down the length of Queens Boulevard, from LIC all the way to Forest Hills, in a Wilshire-esque fashion. It's already happening, just not fast enough.

I'm sorry, but I had already packed my camera and the bag was checked. I didn't know that that was the flight path we were going to take.

Thanks! I'm glad I was able to capture that and get it across.

Yes, I noticed some of this when I was there. You can see some of it in my photos from the ESB. I was amazed though at how much more developed downtown Brooklyn had become.
