I was concentrating on my shots... didn't know I was being shot, too?

Could have been. But, I was on the top deck of the QM2 (the largest ocean liner ever built), with Lady Liberty in the distance, so it might not have been a selfie...

I was pleased to get several reasonable shots, as both vehicles were moving at the same time...

And nicely done, at that.

Thanks! I was just amazed to see a Shorts Tucano (sporting roundels, no less!) buzzing us; I didn't know there were any in North America, let alone NYC.

I checked the ID, and it's Brandon Webb's aircraft, which explains a lot: https://brandontylerwebb.com/.
Here's a snippet of the video he posted: https://www.instagram.com/p/BwiP4N_nCXZ/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet; this was apparently just before he buzzed the QM2.

I know you're not supposed to drive and use a cell phone, at least in my state, but fly and use a cell phone? Good detail in the image. vz

My guess is that the pilot was occupying the front seat (which in the operational trainer is rigged for the student pilot), and the cell phone video was being captured by the young lady in the back seat.

Thanks, I “did the best I could, where I was, with what I had.”
