Reports say that these military jets “are part of a Department of Defense photo shoot and that there is no threat to the city.”

According to Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters, this event should be finished by 1030AM today.

Red Arrows Air Show over New York Hudson River Statue of Liberty

Yesterday, the British Red Arrows visited New York City and did some air show. The jets flew over the Hudson River and Statue of Liberty (photos and videos below), but some uninformed residents of Downtown, Jersey City got a scare when they heard the loud jet noises at around 630pm – 7pm, and associated it to 9/11 attack.

If you head over JCList forum, you’ll read mixed reactions from members living in downtown: some got scared; some thought the show was awesome; and some say it was dangerous — citing previous events where jets crashed.

Me, I wish I saw it but the event was too far from where I live. Thankfully, it was already up on youtube.

I compiled a few photos and short videos in case you missed it …

Here’s a 30-sec video clip of the jets flying over NYC / Statue of Liberty

Below is a 16-sec clip of the jets spraying US colors. Here’s the description on its youtube page:

…The British Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, flew over the New York Harbor today. I was able to catch the spectacle from the shores of South Beach on Staten Island…


Did you see the Red Arrows? How awesome was it?
