IN A NEW YORK MINUTE.....WE OUTTA HERE

Tuesday is our last full day here in New York City and I've decided to come down with with flu/cold/covid....something. While it's not horrible, it certainly can affect motivation and overall cheerfulness 😂 and just make you want to sleep all day.

In addition, we had ATC issues today that put a kibosh on a broadcast at Newark. WHY DOESN'T ANYONE EVER CALL 311 ANYMORE? 😂 Amtrak, I'm looking at you.

Sooo.....We MIGHT have a Tuesday pop-up broadcast at Newark in the afternoon BUT, we have to see how the airlines have structured their schedules and if ATC continues to have Ground Delay programs.

We are still on schedule to be in Washington D.C. by Thursday with our first night or two staying in Baltimore area Wednesday night and then headed down to suburban D.C.

BEYOND D.C., I have NO IDEA where we go from there. Please let me know what you think. We have close to 20 days to fill before we go to Chicago in mid-October.

Sincerely,

The Pipster

PIP POLL TIME | IF WE COULD DO ONE LAST BROADCAST WHERE SHOULD IT BE?

Our time in New York is winding down and with the rain forecast for Sunday and Tuesday, it really limits our time til we head south to Washington DC area for a few days.

If we could do one more show on Tuesday, where would you prefer it?

Please vote below. Pip will take your feedback and consider the options below.

PS I still think there is a shot that Newark is playing a crucial role for arriving dignitaries

WE HAVE A WINNER! LOOKS LIKE RAIDERS OWNER MARK DAVIS AND I WILL BE NEW BEST FRIENDS!

First off, thank you to EVERYONE who was generous enough support our fundraiser for the channel today at JFK! Amazing support!! I will auction off my body more often LOL.

But in come from behind fashion, The Mark Davis will be the haircut selection for the Pipster in the next month. I've been told the haircut means business.

Nothing like the bowl cut plus more. 😂

It was nice to be out at JFK today. First time since 2021.

No immediate show plans for Saturday but that may change. Sunday is dependent on the weather. I will keep you up to date.

Thank you again. We have many great days ahead.

Sincerely,

The Pipster

JFK DAY MEANS A NEW HAIRCUT FOR THE PIPSTER!

I am inviting EVERYONE in the known universe to attend episode #545 of Pip's Planespotting LIVE!@JFK beginning at 11 a.m. EDT/15z on Friday the 17th.

As part of the fun, we are raising money to help with expenses of Pippapalooza and having fun at the same time.

Soooooo....on Friday's show you get to decide which haircut I get in the next month. The first haircut to $150 wins.

Here are the rules.

1. The first haircut that has raised $150 WINS and I have to get that haircut within the next month.
2. When you send a superchat, Paypal or GoFundMe contribution please select which haircut you choose from the three that are listed in the photos.
3. ALL money goes towards the channel and therefore ANY contribution is non-refundable, even if your selection doesn't win.
4. In exchange for your support, I will like a goober within the next month.

The photo attached will be your three choices.

ALSO, there is the slight possibility we might get kicked out by some grumpy Bayswater State Park Ranger. I called last week to make sure we don't need a permit to be there...and the woman on the phone told me that "I don't believe so but I'll check.....but if you don't hear back from me....then everything is good."

So I never heard back from her, so I assumed everything is good. We will see.

IN the even that we are asked to leave by Park Rangers we will go to LaGuardia.

Godspeed everyone and I hope to see you Friday.

Sincerely,

The Pipster

SCHEDULE AS REQUESTED....SO MUCH TO DO!!!!!!!/THE TRUMP 757 MAKES A VISIT

As you can see from the attached photo, there is a show scheduled for Thursday@EWR. That is a 50/50 option depending on how much I get done with my chores :)

Friday's show is good to go. You can book it for JFK! I hope everyone will join me on Friday and somehow success will happen LOL.

Also, nice to see a rare bird in the form of Trump Force One/AKA Donald Trump's 757 landing at @LGA. We have a video that was just posted and make sure to check it out!

LAGUARDIA GETS US UNDER WAY IN PIPPAPALOOZA NEW YORK STYLE WEDNESDAY!

First off, thanks for everyone who did follow instructions on our last post and simply hit the thumbs up button. I was simply trying to test the advertising ability of the YouTube community. We got 97 thumbs up, so thank you.

Now on to New York.

I'm going to be ambitious and say our show starts at 10:30 a.m. EDT/14:30z. I'm sure New York traffic will say otherwise...but will try and start at 10:30 a.m.


Don't forget to click the link below, pre-like the show and hit the "NOTIFY ME" button so you will know when we are on.

youtube.com/live/HI8_R_NnL_c?si=0Vim_p3PNF-4vlmD

As long as the weather holds out we will plan on having a show on Friday and maybe Thursday.

Thank you for tuning in. Do not be surprised if we swap things out at last second. LGA and JFK are only 10 miles apart and only a 40 min drive 😂. Be alert!

Sincerely,

56.....AND COUNTING.

After making it to Portland Maine today we have NOW reached 56 different airports we have lived broadcasted yet.

It's just ONE of the many reasons that you should consider watching our channel on a consistent basis. Because you will NEVER know where we end up. This channel isn't just cherry picking. We go the full country mile.
