DAY 9, LEG 50 - Teterboro to Bermuda
It is our final leg of the day now allowing us to night stop in the beautiful island of Bermuda. The island lies over 600 miles from the nearest point on mainland America and is a British Overseas Territory and playground for the rich. There are several flights a day between Teterboro and Bermuda and we are definitely the lowest and slowest. I decided to fill up with fuel at Teterboro for the long oceanic crossing but weather at our destination was forecast to be good. With one runway and no nearby alternates we would have no choice but to wait if the runway were to be shut for any reason when we arrive. We start the flight with some incredible views of Manhattan.
After making our way northbound past the eastern edge of Manhattan we turn right to overfly JFK and then head out to sea.
