Very cool Michael. You're my hero! Where were you in Maine, guess we were probably there about the same time.

That is a gorgeous helicopter!!! The Hudson River corridor is definitely an amazing bucket list item, especially circling the Statue of Liberty.

Man you are living the dream. Check out Monhegan island on the way back. Very cool frozen in time place with some good walking trails and a charted heliport that I’d imagine you could use if you called ahead, ME78.
Holler if you want any other tips on fun routes in and around NYC airspace.

Is it legal to hand fly it in IFR? It’s single pilot ifr legal. 1 SAS of 2 and 2 of 3 inverters must work
