This year's 47 registered pilots was a record attendance for the event. It was held at the historic Floyd Bennett Field Brooklyn, NY. Flyers came from NY,NJ,CT,MD,MA,PA for the event.

Walt Larson of PA flew his Kingcat with his flying buddy Chuck Smalfus. Walt used to fly 767s over Floyd Bennett Field all the time on approach to JFK.

Mike Casey and I would like to thank all the pilots who came to the 15th Big Apple Jet Rally. There were a lot of new faces this year and we would like to thank BVM for their support during the last 4 years.
