Critics of school budget cuts are taking their message to new heights.
A single-engine plane carrying a banner that reads "Mayor Bloomberg, keep your promise to schools" will fly over several city beaches Sunday.
The Keep the Promises Coalition, made up of the teachers union and other education advocates, has been hammering Bloomberg and schools Chancellor Joel Klein about the cuts, which are expected to slash $99 million from schools next year.
The plane will pass several times over Coney Island, Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach before flying up the Hudson River toward the George Washington Bridge.
