FLORHAM PARK--The New York Jets Flight Crew will soon include more than the NFL team's cheerleading squad.
Despite opposition from local residents, the state Department of Transportation without any public hearings has okayed a request by the Jets to use helicopters to airlift executives and players in and out of the NFL team's suburban training facility, despite its proximity to Morristown Airport.
The state gave clearance for the construction of a helipad, or so-called "helistop" at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center in Florham Park--which is just a few minutes' drive to the nearby airport.
