Great essay! I live in Brooklyn in Crown Heights and my apartment windows face south. I, too, see the planes on their decent on their way to LaGuardia. I can see them if I sit on my couch while I'm watching TV - a pretty constant stream of planes. I sometimes can also see planes flying east on their way to JFK. This prompted me to download Flightradar24. It's pretty cool to get more information about the planes. While I don't have a fear of flying, it does make me feel a bit more ~connected~ to the things going around me. Thanks for the tip!
