Copy from AP: The plane, a Piper PA-32, took off from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, and the helicopter was a Eurocopter AS 350 owned by Liberty Tours, a sightseeing and charter company, Federal Aviation Administration officials said. Officials don't know how many people were aboard the plane, but FAA spokesman Jim Peters said there may have been five passengers and one crew member aboard the helicopter.

That looks like a rebroadcast of some sort of news backhaul... Any idea who that really is as I'd doubt thebravest has those sort of resources.

 

[SonicN]

Looks like it`s the same picture as FoxNews have. Might be some sort of newagancy that the news-stations can hook up to.

 

[scannerman5555]

was also on a radio freq in N.J. area 470.2375 is also melville fd freq too backup

 

[n2pqq]

So what frequency where they suppose to be monitoring while
under visual flight rules. ( VFR ) .

 

[daparker_nyc]

Pilots flying in the VFR Hudson River corridor (below 1100 feet) monitor and announce their position over 123.05. I am a private pilot living in NYC and have flown that route a number of times. It is a tense experience. Air Traffic Control will, on request, often allow a plane to fly the same route but at 1,500 feet. This altitude is in controlled airspace and one must fly the assigned heading and altitude exactly but it places you above the choppers and provides a margin of security. It's still a hectic 10-15 minutes in that it involves three frequency changes ("hand-offs") from NY Approach to LaGuardia Tower to Newark Tower then back to NY Approach (southbound).

A very eeerie feeling!

On Memorial day, I was out on the Hudson River with my wife and kids sight seeing. I had my trusty Nikon D90 with me. I was snapping pictures left and right. Being an avid fan of aircraft and planes, I took a picture of everything that I could. One of the pictures that I felt came out the best was of a silver helicopter that at the time, didnt mean more than just a good picture. I was in the Bronx yesterday when this happened. When I found out it was a sight seeing Helo, I ckecked my laptop that I carry with me. Little did I know, that it was the SAME helo I took pictures of that crashed in the Hudson. The tail number says it all. One-Lima-Hotel according to the news reports. Take a look at this picture in full screen:

I have a very eerie "wow" kind of feeling about this. I thought I would share this with everyone..

You missed it. Re-read the post below.

All of them use 123.0500 when goin g up and down ther Hudson River. It is a very active frequency!! The Coast Guard and NYPD use this frequency too when they are going up and down the Hudson!!

scannerman - as for 470.2375, we lost that freq in an arm wrestling match with the NJ att. gen. We have 476.0125 in stead. It was all part of the land rush a few years ago for the 470.0-470.3 & 476.0-476.3 part of the T-band. NJ uses .2375 as part of their "interoperable" system in northern Jersey.
