Fly The Whale - Lima NY Corp

A single-engine Cessna, a sleek Cirrus, or a turbine-powered King Air—names on the ramp at Fly The Whale - Lima NY Corp sound like invitations to clear skies. This spot on the FDR service road specializes in aircraft rental, giving pilots a place to step in and fly without owning a plane. Want to keep your currency current, ferry a plane cross-country, or simply log a sunset hop over the Hudson? The options hinge on type, crew, and tanks. Pull off at exit 14N for the short drive to 2430 FDR Dr Service Rd East. The hangar sits within the stretch where the East River meets Long Island Sound, handy both for quick training hops and longer cross-counties. Lease clauses, short-term charters, aircraft management, flight instruction—these lines blur fast when you stand on the tarmac. Access is straightforward; the building faces the service road with minimal traffic, so taxiing or towing rarely waits. By the time you need the cockpit, the paperwork is ready. Call *800-908-0469* to finalize the flight plan window, then follow the map to the same address you passed twice already. The East Side Market wharf lies a mile north—useful for a post-flight coffee that stays within earshot of propellers and ferry horns.
