Helicopter To Fly Low Over Midtown Manhattan Monday

MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — A low-flying helicopter over Manhattan on Monday should be no cause for concern — it's conducting a filming project, police said.

The red, white and blue Hughes 269C helicopter will fly at about 2,000 feet above Midtown and Lower Manhattan from around 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, according to the NYPD.

For reference, that's about 550 feet above the spire of the Empire State Building, and 224 feet above the tip of One World Trade Center's spire.

The NYPD put out a similar warning last week about a different low-flying chopper.
