So using 9.19 total SM minus 4.0 SM that puts this guy .19 SM out side of the 5 mile radius around JFK. This might makes him legal, Not smart but Legal just the same.

That's borderline math right there...I'm out !

But...paper said 4 miles, didn't get more specific. Then again it also said he was 1100 feet above the runway...how could he have done that if he was 4 miles away.

Keep in mind...this is the NY POST...one step above National Inquirer.
