I was in and out of LGA during the timeframe...nasty windy and low ceilings. God Bless the families involved. I know I tried to get actual for my students whenever possible, but you have to mind your personal minimums.

What was the deal with JFK? We were suprisingly getting in and out of LGA all day, while people were spinnin' on the JFK arrivals!
 
I "heard" the crash was an American Flyers 172 our of HPN.

Yes the wx was very nasty that day. LLWS, 1/4-3/4 vis, fog, 200ft ceiling, LLWS 50KTS at 2000ft. --- exactly as forecast

Ideal 172 training weather eh?
