Description
[23 N.Y.2d 502 Page 506] During street rioting which erupted in Rochester in July of 1964, the Director of the Monroe County Civil Defense Office,
Robert N. Abbott, decided that it would be useful to charter a helicopter in order to survey traffic and observe the disorder
from the air. With the approval of the City Manager, he telephoned to the defendant, Page Airways, an airplane chartering
service, to ascertain whether its helicopter "was available" for that purpose. Upon being told that it was, Mr. Abbott arranged
for a flight and, several hours later, after placing Civil Defense radio equipment aboard, he embarked, piloted by an employee
of the defendant.
