I lived on Long Island from 1977 to 1979. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures from that time.
Here are a few pictures of New York City. The aerial pictures are from a flight in a Stearman PT-17 around Manhattan. We flew from Sterling, MA to the Hudson River, north of Manhattan, then down the Hudson River Corridor, circled the Statue of Liberty, flew over the Verrazano Bridge, and then along the south shore of Long Island. After a stop in Brookhaven we flew back to Sterling, MA.
The picture from Manhattan were from an involuntary lay-over during my trip to Jordan and Egypt. My flight from Boston to New York was delayed, so I missed my connecting flight to Egypt. I had to stay in New York for a couple of days till I got on another flight to Egypt.
