Views of the city that you can’t experience in any other way. It’s a quick flight (30 mins) but it’s amazing at how much you see in that brief period of time. So cool.

If you want to have more things to know in NY, tried this aviation. I am student and my project is to know more what's in New York, my uncles business partner told me to book with them and see the view of NY. It was amazing and mind relaxing, now I can write so much since pilot told me a lot about the Empire State.
