Is there anything worse for the chopper guy than having weather issues impact him on what is one of the worst traffic days of the year? Looks like #chopper2 and I will be stuck inside for a while (look at the reflection and you can see we are not alone). @CBSNewYork

I’m love hear that voice call @Avalanche over at @ballarenadenver …I was hoping we’d hear it booming through @EmpowerField ! Sounded great on @NFLonPrime

Weird weather day today…even the sun looked unimpressed! Clouds with little showers hung around as we worked our way up the GSP. We turned to look at the sunset, it oddly looked like a “meh” emoji! @CBSNewYork #chopper2 @LonnieQuinnTV @ScottPadgettCBS @VMurdockTV @JohnElliottTV

Wind was a problem yesterday. You can see my hair being moved a little in the picture but we’re good to go today! Taking #SkyFox out for our afternoon flight! @fox5ny

A late night flight for a terrible situation in Hillside, NJ. A row of businesses up in flames, homes damaged, families displaced and a long night for first responders. We will have updates on @CBSNewYork and from #chopper2

A quiet news day for #chopper2, so I thought I would show you some of the sights of the East River looking back at Manhattan! The last two pictures kickoff Gridlock Alert season as the United Nations General Assembly Meeting ramps up! @CBSNewYork @FlyHeliInc

The view as I was leaving the airport tonight. The #tributeinlight is always a moving sight. So hard to believe it has been 24 years since that horrific day. @CBSNewYork #chopper2 @FlyHeliInc #neverforget

It’s been a long week but we are back in the main machine! It was nice flying in the “old” #chopper2 but nothing beats flying the regular bird! If you don’t know where to find us just take a look at the second picture! @CBSNewYork @FlyHeliInc

Time to take the Big Blue Deuce out for a spin! White puffy clouds on a beautiful blue backdrop will hopefully make for a great ride! @CBSNewYork #chopper2 @FlyHeliInc

Flying over Pelham Manor, looking through the Bronx, you can barely make out the iconic NYC skyline. The haze is as thick as I’ve seen it all summer long! Sometimes the view from my office is not actually NOT all that pretty. @CBSNewYork #chopper2 @FlyHeliInc

I hope this is not an April Fool’s Day joke because this would be really cool over Darlington for Throwback Weekend this weekend!

I love listening to @SiriusXMNASCAR this time of year because I get to hear @JackOnSports do what he does best! Grew up watching him cover @IndyCar & college football on ABC and he was the best! The iconic voice, the depth of knowledge…just amazing! Wish he was on more often!

Finally, we get to take this beauty to the sky today! And, as a bonus, I get to see the sunrise all week! If this is what it will be like all week then the early morning wake up call won’t be so bad! @CBSNewYork #chopper2 @FlyHeliInc

I am not a fan of the @NYRangers , however, you cannot not deny the beauty of @TheGarden in their colors! @CBSNewYork @CBSSports #chopper2 @FlyHeliInc #nofilters

There really is no better ending to overtime in hockey than listening to @ConorMcGahey call the winning shot! So damn exciting!

The end of an era at @CBSNewYork . I've had the absolute pleasure of working with @DanaTylerTV, from afar, for 2 stints at Channel 2 (1997 -1999 & 2015 to today). As a colleague & as a viewer, thank you for all that you've done for Ch 2 & the Tri-State. youtu.be/Pw7BhNYdrHg?si=VFYR…
