Where is the Trump Tower in relation to this? Is it only a couple of streets away?
LOL!
I totally remember that!
Don’t know NYC..................
AXA building is at 787 Seventh Avenue between 51st & 52nd Street.
Trump Tower is at 721 Fifth Avenue between 56th & 57th Street, NE from AXA.
Distance between the two = two short blocks + 0.5 + 4.5 long blocks. Not far.
Many years ago there was a helicopter crash on top of the old Pan Am Building in NYC and three people were killed. After that all helicopter flights in and around Manhattan were stopped. Guess that doesn’t apply anymore.
Once had a co-worker that flew the UH-1 in Vietnam. He explained auto-rotate.
He got shot down twice. A hit to the engine, and a hit to the fuel system, iirc.
