Salute

I was in New York City in June, 2002, on a boat tour of Manhatten. We saw 5 Army Black Hawk hellicopters approaching, which took the attention of the entire tour. One of the hellicopters, not in frame on this shot, turned and faced Lady Liberty and hovered. The other four circled completely around the statue as a salute, and then rejoined the apparent leader to continue on their mission. Not a sight you see every day.
