They have a facility located on George Street but it's huge and could accommodate a heliport 16 hours ago, thadude said: '99-'03 I lived in the river dorms which were on George St and most of my classes were by George St. The J&J building is right there but has its own huge campus I don't see how landing a helicopter inside their own campus helipad would interfere with anything outside Probably '86-'87 and the class was directly across the George Street from the J&J compound. It wasn't one of the main buildings, further up the street. To be fair, I did my 4 years with most classes on College Ave campus, lived in Hardenbergh for a year and that was the only building where it happened. I think it was a Friday morning class and until I took it, I did not even know that they had a helipad. It wasn't a huge disruption, well less than 5 minutes, but guys that had that convenience in the late '80s are not likely to want to lose it now when we should be in our flying cars. It is funny that I am defending myself. Like I would make this up. When I make sh*t up I went to a better school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is from Sparta and we would fly into all kinds of airfields in NJ. My favorite was a landing at Newark. The guy on the tow truck was laughing his rear end off. He said he had never seen such a small plane landing there before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but if two helicopters leave their respective helipads at the same time, and one is traveling at 80 miles per hour with a 10 mph back wind, the other is traveling at 60 miles per hour against a 10 mph, when they each reach the halfway point... they'll still be more entertaining to watch than the Jets.

The landing fee at Newark is prohibitive. He's loaded apparently. Lots of pilots here in Sparta. The beacon for Newark approach is right here (about 45 miles from EWR) and pilots say they like the look of the town from above. Seriously.

Jet Nut Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Didn't the article say that they wanted it to get people in and out of their home facility and to air lift injured players out? HTF did that become an indictment againt Woody? Why to Jets fans take such pride in bashing their teams owner? It childish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
