They are not, but helicopters can
They have tours all the time, so maybe it was one of them

There are a few hospitals right there and there are often helicopters for the hospitals

Planes fly over the city all the time.It was only right after 9/11 that planes werent able to. Alot of small planes fly up and down the east river because at a certain altitude they don't need to be in contact with air traffic control at JFK or LGA. My FH is a pilot so i have the inside scoop![]()

They fly over all of the time, I see them when I'm leaving work.

It wasn't a helicopter...they're saying all the major agencies are agreeing it was a fixed-wing plane.

Helicopters are allowed around the city. My company has private helicopters that they travel from Long Island to NYC everyday for meetings.

I thought the same. Turns out it was a small aircraft, not a helicopter too.
