In the 80s, the Navy developed and tested a Stinger mod that was mounted to and fired from a helicopter. Obviously NYNY doesn’t have a fighter plane (else we would have pics) but they are eat up with choppers.

My guess is this is what their latest toy is. Either that or they dug up some old Nike SAMs. Anyone else remember seeing the Nike sights up and down the east coast back in the 60s?

Maintenance on the Nike’s would be very expensive.
Stingers it is.
