"A pilot flying a 57-year-old Cessna 150 has finally achieved a four-year dream by landing at one of NYC's major airports. The tiny two-seater was cleared into some of the busiest airspace in the country - LaGuardia Airport. The approval was rare for such a slow and light aircraft. It marked a milestone he had been chasing ever since he first flew beneath New York's skyline."
"The YouTuber's trip began hundreds of miles south as he worked his way up the East Coast, landing at various places on the way. He stopped first in Maryland, then continued to Atlantic City to position himself for a quiet approach into LaGuardia Airport in New York City, one of the world's busiest airspaces."
"LaGuardia Tower switched him to runway four, where strong gusts of wind pushed the nose of the Cessna. He kept the aircraft steady, touched down smoothly, and taxied toward the general plane parking area near the radio towers. Once parked, he received the final bill, which included fuel, facility charges, ramp fees, infrastructure costs, and the landing fee, which came to a whopping $377.73."

LaGuardia Tower switched him to runway four amid strong gusts, but the aircraft touched down smoothly and taxied to general parking near radio towers. The final bill totaled $377.73 for fuel, facility, ramp, infrastructure and landing fees.
