The overflight of New York City was part of the final phase of the transatlantic crossing: Coming from Frankfurt am Main, the Hindenburg passed over the metropolis on May 6, 1937, before setting course for the naval station at Lakehurst, New Jersey. This routine segment of the flight documents the airship in impeccable condition and provides contrast to what would occur hours later. The overflight of New York was a familiar part of the flight for passengers and crew, a regular feature of the North Atlantic service that the Hindenburg had operated since 1936.
