@McDonalds please explain how I go to the store on Rt 1 in Edison, NJ, using the app, pull up to the board, they process my order, pull up to the window and THEN tell me they are out of Iced tea. I ask for my money back but they won’t because I used the app? They gave me a water.

Is there anything worse for the chopper guy than having weather issues impact him on what is one of the worst traffic days of the year? Looks like #chopper2 and I will be stuck inside for a while (look at the reflection and you can see we are not alone). @CBSNewYork

@McDonalds Why am I being punished for living in the Northeast??? A local radio station even ran a story about the return of the McRib and today I find there are none in this area. Not cool McDonald’s!

Weird weather day today…even the sun looked unimpressed! Clouds with little showers hung around as we worked our way up the GSP. We turned to look at the sunset, it oddly looked like a “meh” emoji! @CBSNewYork #chopper2 @LonnieQuinnTV @ScottPadgettCBS @VMurdockTV @JohnElliottTV

Wind was a problem yesterday. You can see my hair being moved a little in the picture but we’re good to go today! Taking #SkyFox out for our afternoon flight! @fox5ny

A late night flight for a terrible situation in Hillside, NJ. A row of businesses up in flames, homes damaged, families displaced and a long night for first responders. We will have updates on @CBSNewYork and from #chopper2

A quiet news day for #chopper2, so I thought I would show you some of the sights of the East River looking back at Manhattan! The last two pictures kickoff Gridlock Alert season as the United Nations General Assembly Meeting ramps up! @CBSNewYork @FlyHeliInc

The view as I was leaving the airport tonight. The #tributeinlight is always a moving sight. So hard to believe it has been 24 years since that horrific day. @CBSNewYork #chopper2 @FlyHeliInc #neverforget

It’s been a long week but we are back in the main machine! It was nice flying in the “old” #chopper2 but nothing beats flying the regular bird! If you don’t know where to find us just take a look at the second picture! @CBSNewYork @FlyHeliInc

Time to take the Big Blue Deuce out for a spin! White puffy clouds on a beautiful blue backdrop will hopefully make for a great ride! @CBSNewYork #chopper2 @FlyHeliInc

Flying over Pelham Manor, looking through the Bronx, you can barely make out the iconic NYC skyline. The haze is as thick as I’ve seen it all summer long! Sometimes the view from my office is not actually NOT all that pretty. @CBSNewYork #chopper2 @FlyHeliInc

I hope this is not an April Fool’s Day joke because this would be really cool over Darlington for Throwback Weekend this weekend!

@DaveyCenter Not to be nitpicky but I just heard the Suarez commercial promoting the Mexico truck race where he says it’s the first time they have left the States BUT @NASCAR_Trucks use to race in Canada @CTMPOfficial

I love listening to @SiriusXMNASCAR this time of year because I get to hear @JackOnSports do what he does best! Grew up watching him cover @IndyCar & college football on ABC and he was the best! The iconic voice, the depth of knowledge…just amazing! Wish he was on more often!
