For those of you not in the tri state area - tetaboro is in NJ just north of the meadowlands
I think that was an idea but it was scapped rather quickly. The thing I find amazing is that they only cleared the GW bridge by about 1000 feet. Thank God everything turned out right. Once again a tremendous job by the pilot and crew!
