sixcyl ◊ 2026-01-20 11:30	This is a rare promotional film for New York Airways, "THE SKYLINE ROUTE" that dates to 1962 and features the Boeing Vertol 107 helicopter. At this time NYA offered service to LaGuardia and Idlewild Airport. The film includes rare footage of flight operations as well as images of 1960s New York with its traffic jams, which was the primary selling feature for the Skyline Route service. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY18c0X4uWg&t=290s Background vehicles: Boat:

New York Airways had a tough existence and folded in 1979 in the aftermath of a deadly 1977 accident, as well as high fuel prices during the 1979 energy crisis.
