Seaplane Taking Off From East River Next To Roosevelt Island Under Queensboro Bridge This Evening

A seaplane was spotted this evening taking off on the East River next to Roosevelt Island and the Queensboro Bridge.

Have never seen seaplanes before this close to Roosevelt Island on the East River.

UPDATE 9:50 PM:

First the new ferry now sea planes? #rooseveltisland getting all fancy. (I’m sure they were just lost!) pic.twitter.com/qy2Sxp7Qz7
