N6FN flew from the Sixers' Camden heliport to Manhattan after LeBron's visit

The AW139's observed route runs from 71NJ to West 30th Street, then to Northeast Philadelphia. Its first leg fits the reported helicopter ride to New York.

The Associated Press reported that LeBron James left 76ers practice in Camden by helicopter for New York. The AW139 broadcasting N6FN lifted from the facility's heliport at 1:49 p.m. ET and reached Manhattan's West 30th Street Heliport at 2:19 p.m. Its recorded path fits that report, but flight data does not identify anyone aboard this particular aircraft.

FAA records for N223KR identify the airframe as an AW139 held by Bank of Utah as trustee, with N6FN reserved as a pending mark. The helicopter then flew to Northeast Philadelphia. Those records do not show LeBron as its owner.
