F-18s to fly over Verrazzano Bridge at low altitude this morning

NEW YORK, NY – Two U.S. military jets will fly over the Verrazzano Bridge Wednesday morning en route to West Point. It’s an excellent opportunity for aircraft enthusiasts and photographers to get a close-up view of F-18 aircraft.

The flyby will occur at around 11:30 am on Tuesday morning, and the two fighter jets will fly at an altitude of approximately 2,500 feet heading north.

The best vantage points will be along the Hudson River shoreline in Jersey City, Manhattan and along the route to West Point.
