I don't know how true it is that if they fly that close to the cities they will be shot down, b/c I think that all the NY area airports are open, but I live about 30 miles east of Manhattan, and the ONLY planes I've heard in the last week have been 2 fighter jets (i don't know what kind...) and 3 helicopters. It's been VERY quiet here.
Well, Islip-Macarthur has been operating a near normal levels (not that there's much traffic there to begin with). . . I'm not sure about JFK or LGA or Newark. . .

But, about the 25 mile limit; well, all of NYC's major airports are less than 25 miles away from Manhattan, as far as I know. The restrictions are a bit more complicated than that. Basically, though, it just means that they're not using the Hudson and East Rivers as approach corridors like they normally do. . . for those elsewhere in the country, those rivers are the bodies of water on either side of Manhattan, and planes usually line up along them while waiting to land at either JFK or LaGuardia.
