Comment JFK? (Score 2, Insightful) 105

There are numerous airports at the periphery that are significantly less busy, like Stewart International or Islip/McArthur that could have been used for this event. The need to avoid wake turbulence and make sufficient room in the pattern to accommodate such an aircraft had to be a pain to manage.
Regardless, excellent achievement in a cool aircraft.
