Yep...forgot for a moment about Stewart AFB; but, the Coast Guard is only 40 miles south and, as you know, they have a huge presence in NYC area waterways. And no one can say the Coast Guard isn’t a) always ready or b) able to do tough helo rescues.

Stewart AFB as we ‘knew’ it is no longer.
It is called Newburgh/Stewart International AP and the NY ANG has a portion of it.
Back in mid 50’s, while in HS, I was a CAP ‘spotter’ for Stewart AFB, had a shack in a field and would call in anything that flew over.
Lots of locations, mine was in Dover Plains NY.
