If you find anything, let me know. I go to school in Brooklyn but can
get around to anywhere on a subway, like you I gave up a car when I
started school there. The NYC Public library has beautiful flat cat 2
ceilings, the NYU Library building is something like 120ft? Plenty of
places to do Guerrilla flying..
Also, people like Bob Bender use to fly at Floyd Bennett Field in
Brooklyn.
