RNC in NYC

[cathal]

Don't rule out Newburgh, KSWF, just up the Hudson River. They land C-5's there and its about 50 mins to Manhattan on the Thuway, I-87.

As if TEB isn't bad enough on a "normal" day....... Ugh. Wouldn't it be splendid if a nice line of thunder-boomers rolled through every evening???!!! Aviation International News has a good article about the goings'-on's during the RNC that everyone should read before starting the engines. The same information is available elsewhere I'm sure. Someone more saavy than me should post a link with all the information about who to call, what to expect, etc..... Good luck all!!!!!

Frg

Definetly go with FRG!!! You've got the Long Island Railroad five minutes away from FRG with an abundance of hotels around the area. It's just a 50 minute train ride into Manhattan from there with trains running frequently. The best thing is the railroad pulls right into Penn Station, just under where the RNC will be. No need to worry about driving into that clusterfu@@ around that time of year with alerted terror warnings plus the convention, it will be a zoo!!

I've heard that Penn Station will be shut down during the convention becuase it is under MSG (never did hear what they planned on doing with all the LIRR trains). FRG will also be a "portal" into Manahattan for helicopter traffic and I'm sure will be quite busy. Then again, allt hese airports are going to be insane. Maybe its time to think about that vacation...
