:[[User:Halt, Stop! Reudnitz kommt.|Craig]] and his brother tried to hitchhike airplanes at '''New York''''s busiest general aviation airports ''Teteboro Airport'' and ''[[Essex County Airport]]''. Over the course of seven hours in total they made many friends but didn't get any lift by plane.
''Teteboro Airport'' is not to be recommended. They will chase you away, because this is the hub for Paris Hilton, George Clooney and Lady Gaga. The few possible points are off your limits: business terminals. No flight schools at this airport. Few ''small pilots''.
If you would have success hitchhiking an aircraft you should opt for ''[[Sussex Essex County Airport]]'' accessible by walking from ''Willowbrook Mall'' near ''Paterson''. Regularly buses run from Manhattan's ''Port Authority Bus Terminal'' near ''Penn Station''. Try hitching with ''small pilots''.
In plain English: If you adhere to FAA regulations soliciting flights at US airports is illegal for most pilots. On the other hand it seems some pilots are willing to sneak by the strict regulations to make hitching aircraft possible ([[User:Halt, Stop! Reudnitz kommt.|Craig]] & Dario met two pilots who had taken them another time they said). Bear in mind their insurance hadn't covered them. Your best bet is knowing a pilot personally. Well that is not really hitchhiking =)
