With the airshow this weekend I thought it might be good to see who's coming, what day, and if we wanted to meet up. I'm going on Sat along with Fred, Phil and Mel. Fred I'm electing you as the person to secure the best spot since I'm sure you'll be there sometime around 1AM :lol: . I'm picking Phil and Mel up so I'm assuming I'll be there at 8, no later. I remember where we were the last time so should be no problem. For others reference we were down by the shore line directly in front of the huge flag pole.

If anyone wants some info or needs to reach me my cell is 1-516-456-1499.

Sounds good, I will take a few blankets to give us some room. Please
PM me if you MAY go so I can give you my cell just in case. Directions
are very simple, Go directly south of the needle in show center and go to
the middle lifeguard stand. We will be just to the east of the lifeguard
stand. When I say just to the east...I may not leave room for people to
walk inbetween us and the lifeguards :wink: . I am thinking of doing a
sunrise photo shoot but I am not sure yet.

Ill be there Saturday most likely, so I'll attempt to join you. I hate standing still so I will probably be walking around alot. Sunday I'll be chilling at FRG. See you there!

2006-05-23, 06:49 PM
I'll try and find out. Something says the others will go there, the Blues are just a bit more picky about having an operational ILS.

Weather isn't looking that great for Sat right now. Calling for mostly cloudy skies right now. If that's the case I might not do Sat. We'll have to follow the weather as the weekend gets closer. Sunday might be the better of the two.

SCOTYDEMCO
2006-05-24, 09:02 AM
Thats really sucks about the Blues. I may dedicate one day to shooting and if it is nasty out Sat just watch the show. Wow there is soomething I haven't done without a camera.

Tommy, -IF- they go to ISP, I'll get my wife to drive me over there and meet ya. Let's hope the mechanics at FRG get that ILS up and running ASAP!

Steven Holzinger

A friend of mine THINKS the ILS is up and running at FRG now...

Derf
2006-05-24, 01:08 PM
Well that is good, I am not going to KISP just for the blues, when there
will be so many aircraft at FRG. I plan on being about 200ft north of the
touchdown point on New Hwy... Look for my little truck

2006-05-24, 07:01 PM
OK, its 1857 right now.


As of 1731 today, Blue #7 arrived at FRG and its parked over by the Terminal. This is the 2 person F-18. Piloted by a while guy, and a black guy was in the back seat (what would Rosa Parks do, thats not right ;) putting the brother in the back!)

j/k

It was awesome. I saw her streaking south along the coastline and then she flew over west babylon, cut a turn and flew by Republic tower before landing.

Derf
2006-05-24, 07:08 PM
#7 comes in a day early to make sure that all the equipment is ready for the team.

SCOTYDEMCO
2006-05-24, 07:29 PM
So that confirms that the Blues will stage out of FRG.

Derf
2006-05-24, 07:44 PM
actually, it only confirms that the Blues are still considering it. They could decide that they do not want their aircraft at KFRG for many other reasons than the ILS if that were still an issue (Have no idea on that).

Derf
2006-05-24, 07:45 PM
did not mean to cut you off at the knees there Scotty, but it IS a very good sign!!!

I believe that the #6 guy was colored last year.... I hope that for his 2nd
year they make him the slot pilot in the #4........for obvious reasons

Derf
2006-05-24, 08:01 PM
Just in case you took my last comment as a bad thing, it was not---

Angles are only flying for 2-3 year max. They are regular Naval Aviators
first and last.

The commander is the #1 plane and only fly's the airshow. He is not
responsible for separation of aircraft and makes all the calls for others to
follow (Ever play follow the leader? He only leads). He is assigned the
first year of flying the Blues and is not a big deal... (If that can be said
about any blue Angel!!!)

#2 & #3 have a much higher workload because they are looking at the
separation between the the other aircraft. They do not watch the ground
or anything other than the separation to keep a midair from happening.

the big deal is the slot or #4 Angel. This is the cream of the crop from
the year before. He has to be the best because he is the safety officer.
He is the one that can call any maneuver off.

#6 is the Solo pilot, he gets to do the really high G stuff and really get a
workout (they all do, but ya know they are gonna work the brotha J/K).
#5 also works with #6 for the 2 aircraft maneuvers.

If I was going to rate the 2 top positions, I would pick the #4 and #6 as
the most desirable......Maybe 7 to make the press airsick...that would be
fun!

I think the Thunderbirds have a Girl this year.... I used to be worried
about them having one nasty crackup, but now it happens at every
airshow! :shock: (As I hit the deck because I hear Mel knocking at my
door!!!)

When I drove past at 6:30, #7 was parked by the terminal. Also, there was a whole bunch of ground equipment and a fleet (12) of cars (I think rentals for the whole crew.) It looks like they are all set to welcome the Blues.

0945 is the anticipated time... then 1415 to 1500 is their practice. :D. Oh and my schedule cleared up, I WILL be out Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The beach on Friday, possibly Saturday and FRG on Sunday.

SCOTYDEMCO
2006-05-25, 10:10 AM
Ill be out at the beach today to see there practice. Saw 3 seaknights flyover Long Island Jewish Hospital at about 900am.

2006-05-25, 10:51 AM
ok Thusrday monring.

Blue 7 was in, on time, at 0935.

The rest came in, streaking across the coastline and back northwest over the airport together before splitting up and landing. landed a bit late at 1012


additionally, the A-10 pair is there. lots of fun stuff about

Steven Holzinger
2006-05-25, 11:20 AM
I've changed my plans so that I'm going Sunday only...will be on the beach for the airshow and might go over to either FRG or JFK (more than likely) after the airshow.

T-Bird76
2006-05-25, 01:41 PM
I think Sunday is going to be the better of the two days, as of now I'm looking to go Sunday and do FRG on Sat.

F-15 are based out of Islip! that I can confirm. No F-16 at Kfrg and word of the day is that they were going to be at KISP too. Not enough room at KFRG.

Great shots Fred!

I took a long lunch hour (ok, so I was making up for the 273 consecutive days I had lunch at my desk...) and drove over to the terminal.

http://www.nycaviation.com/hosting/JM_2006_05_25_JB004.jpg

They were fueling the birds and getting ready to launch, so I stuck around for a while:

I was sitting in Air Traffic Manager's office and heard the startup of #7, those things are loud as hell!

And when I was in the tower as soon as he pullled up off the runway to do his 90 degree nose up climb the ILS damage control siren went off it was amazing! But no one else thought so
because we just got it fixed. Anyway I saw Fred on top of his car and came back later so I got to meet Sean Tucker.

(I'm not that tall only 6', he's just crouching with his parachute on)

The infamous A10's both using the callsign "Tiger 81"

(Those bad boys did a high speed fly-past of the tower, they actually shook the window panes. I would have gotten some excellent pics from the tower but no, those terrorists had to mess up everything, besides the Blue Angels's Colonel was up there today and will be for the whole week, So I had to be professional about everything LOL!

P.S. another random Sean pic

Yeah I could have guessed that, they had #2 off to the side right after they landed from there practice thursday. Fat Albert took off at about 4:30 or so, to the tower saying "we'll see you late tonight".

**Confirmed @ ISP**
2 F-15's & 2 F-16's sitting on LI Jet ramp very close to the tower base.
Saw them myself last evening. Not very promising for photo's but Fred thinks he is up to the challenge.


As for FRG..caught this guy arriving last evening around 5:15pm A little gray thanks to the overcast weather. Thank you to the wife for driving me out there.

If you want to meet up with us just walk straight down the beach from the flag pole and you'll find us. I'm planning on being on the beach no later then 8AM. As for Sat it looks like FRG will be the place to be. If anyone needs to contact me feel free to call me 1-516-456-1499

In NY it is illegal to have anything that can "recieve police frequencies" in your car, but its not illegal to have one. Crazy, I know, but i dont really care much. If I ever get stopped, I'll just play dumb.

S 397. Equipping motor vehicles with radio receiving sets capable of
receiving signals on the frequencies allocated for police use. A
person, not a police officer or peace officer, acting pursuant to his
special duties, who equips a motor vehicle with a radio receiving set
capable of receiving signals on the frequencies allocated for police use
or knowingly uses a motor vehicle so equipped or who in any way knowing-
ly interferes with the transmission of radio messages by the police
without having first secured a permit so to do from the person author-
ized to issue such a permit by the local governing body or board of the
city, town or village in which such person resides, or where such person
resides outside of a city or village in a county having a county police
department by the board of supervisors of such county, is guilty of a
misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, or
imprisonment not exceeding six months, or both. Nothing in this section
contained shall be construed to apply to any person who holds a valid
amateur radio operator`s license issued by the federal communications
commission and who operates a duly licensed portable mobile transmitter
and in connection therewith a receiver or receiving set on frequencies
exclusively allocated by the federal communications commission to duly
licensed radio amateurs.

Derf
2006-05-27, 07:25 PM
I am amateur radio operator, the law was written so that you can not
have a scanner installed in your car. Handheld is a different story...
Almost all pilots carry scanners or backup transmitters that are capable of
receiving police frequencies. They are legal (or were,but think they still
are). They become illegal if you are using them for profit...IE - Chasing
firefighters for local newspapers, or using it as a burglars tool. I had
been stopped a couple of times at accidents and told I was under arrest
for using a scanner.....If I saw an accident, I would grab the transmitter
out of my car and listen to when the police were arriving. There is
nothing illegal about that!

From your above post, if you have a handheld set, you are ok.....ask any
police officer, they will tell you that you are breaking the law.......just
like "taking pictures of aircraft after 911 is illegal"

Look closely at this line you posted,

"acting pursuant to his special duties, who equips a motor vehicle with a
radio receiving"

QUESTION, are you Acting Pursuant???? no? NOT ILLEGAL!
that line tells me 100%, the law has not changed....it is not illegal

Derf
2006-05-27, 07:27 PM
come to think of it, I know many that have installed car radios and that
is not illegal either....it is only if you are using it for anything other than
listening....or if you are committing a crime and listening for a heads up.

J/w what was there at the airshow

GrummanFan
2006-05-28, 04:45 PM
After reading that a bit more carefully, I see what you mean.

Man, what a show. Over 300,000 people. I didn't think Jones Beach could max out, but there you go. Cars backed up to the mainland and they were turning them all away. I tried to meet up with you guys, but I just couldn't make it through the crowd. And Scott I left your cell # at home, so I had no way of finding you. I hung out by the east end of the boardwalk under an awning by the Army National Guard so my horrible sunburn from saturday wouldn't get any worse. Got a bunch of free stuff from them, too. Soon as I get my pics developed I'll post the good ones here.

Everything was great, but Sean Tucker just isn't Sean Tucker without the Challenger. Still put on a good little act with what he had, though.

Fred...green pants, "Anytime, Baby!" Tomcat shirt with black and white shirt over that, Nikon F3 260mm lens and Pro 97 scanner w/ headphones. I had an ice cream cone at one point. Descriptive enough?

And sometime after the Heritage flight I heard on my scanner something about someone landing with an "engine malfunction" at FRG. Any info on that?

lijk604
2006-05-28, 05:11 PM
If you are referring to today, Sunday. Viper 1, the F16 did land at FRG with an "engine emergency." Even after he landed, on 32, he told tower immediate 180 on the runway and taxi to LI Jet Center, he advised the F16 to hold short of the active runway 1 for the A10 doing a Low pass, he shot back, I AM DECLARING EMERGENCY STATUS AND WILL TAXI RIGHT NOW TO WHERE THE A-10's ARE PARKED. The A-10 did an adjusted low-pass and that was all I heard. Pics of said F16 landing @ FRG to come later tonight.

Chris these look great. Its prob not your camera or your technique. The setup of the show and the light was not in line. The show was in front of us and the sun was to the left then overhead and then to the right and the sky was white vs blue. Certainly a challenge to shoot in, I think the polarizing filter I was using helped in some cases. See Fred I didn't stop the prop, hehe, Fred was yelling at me for stopping the props. Here's a few

great photos guys!

higheels and I were at FRG from about 1040 onward. My dad joined us an hour later.

Saw the F16 landing and we just thought it was an extra treat. Actually, we could see him streaking west along the coastline as he went to meet formation for the heritage tour. 15 minutes later, it was just a surprise to have him here.

Got a few decent shots here and there but I was just thrilled to finally see an A-10 in action. I just love them.

PLus it was nice to finally hang out with my dad and see a part of the airshow, something that he hadnt dont together in 20 years.

Just some FYI . . . .

1) I turns out the F16 did not have a serious engine problem(even though it was an emergency). Some of the damage was due to P51 :lol: the pilot constantly having to turn his engines up and down to stay in formation with t6he old warbird caused his engine to overheat. (At least that's what Jet Center Maint. told the ATM. :wink:
Also the Angels did depart on Sunday

2)There were people that called the Police about low-flying Jets around buildings but nothing was said about Bttleships in NY harbor :lol:

Tom, Fred, Moose, Urban it was great to meet all of you guys. Had alot of fun, what a day for the show. I heard on the scanner that they closed the whole Jones Beach State Park at around noon as they reached their 300 thousand person capacity. Couple of the pilots reported about 7 or 8 mile traffic line from the toll booths on the Meadowbrook. Both the 15 and 16 demos were much better on saturday I thought. They had the burners on more. Anyone know why the f-15 bailed out of the heritage flight half way through on sunday? I thought the blues put on one of the best shows I have seen in a whileboth days but Sunday was tops. The vapor they were pulling out of the air was sick. With the exception of number 3 messing up on the diamond dirty loop the show was superb.

FIRE!!!! (This jet does NOT have an afterburner!)

Looks like they had us both fooled, Fred. From http://www.redbullmig.com


The MiG-17F (F for Forsirovannyy-boosted or afterburner-boosted) was the widely produced variant of the MiG-17

Also found this at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum site:


The main difference between the MiG-17 Fresco A and the later MiG-17F was the power plant. The MiG-17F used the more powerful VK-1 F after-burning turbojet which provided a substantial increase in power for takeoff and combat maneuvering over the older Fresco A model (the "F" in MiG-17F stands for Forsirovannyy, meaning "boosted").

Unfortunately, I only discovered this place today, so I don't know if I (accidentally) saw any of you. I did, however, spend a large part of the weekend watching the air show.

Friday: Headed down from work to FRG for about an hour; not too much going on, mostly regular ops, but I did catch Fat Albert landing on 14 before I had to get back to the office.

Saturday: My original plan (at my girlfriend's suggestion) was to head to Point Lookout and watch the show from there. Once we got there, though, the haze seemed a bit thick, so we (well, I) decided to head over to FRG and check things out there. We spent around 20 minutes near where the Angels were sitting before heading to the shopping center parking lot just up Rt. 110. Most of the arrivals and departures were on Runway 1, so the view wasn't great. The Red Bull Mig took off from 32 and flew over us, and the Angels took off from 14 (and taxied off at this end when they came back), so it wasn't a total wash.

Sunday: Went down to the beach to see the actual show this time (from Field 1). This was a good spot; while plenty of the action was closer to the boardwalk, this spot was down near where most of the planes were turning around, so it wasn't all just straight flight past us. Other than the sheer number of people trying to leave afterwards (I have no problem believing that there were 300,000!) it was quite enjoyable. I only wish I hadn't managed to fill up three 512MB flash cards before the Angels were done!

With the exception of Friday, the weather was very nice for it (and I've got the bad sunburn to prove it!). If nothing else, I've now been taught to always bring a camera to work with me, since I happened to see a couple of the show planes up and about Thursday afternoon.

On the off chance that anyone else from here was near FRG on Saturday, along the fence by the shopping center, I was the one with the scanner, on the ground near the guys with ladders.

I also managed to shoot over 1,500 pictures in two days, which I'm uploading now, and will likely spend the rest of my life changing levels on. If anyone's interested, I'll post a link, and some of the betters ones, after I've done some serious culling.

I think those Marine C-130s have some odd props - I think I noticed something that looked like twisted tips (?) on the one that came in when the Harrier ran off the rwy, and you always end up with such great vortices showing in the shots.

I think the Friday shots are easy to pick out. It was a Great show with alot of haze and right into the sun until the Blue Angels which made for some challenging photography.

Finally got a chance to upload my pics. Keep in mind that I'm still shooting with a 35mm and I had to scan these up, so the quality/brightness is a little better in reality. Here are my favs...

This shot was by complete accident. I never thought about doing double exposures with airplanes, but this shot is giving me ideas...

Sometimes the best photos are complete accidents; I know I've had that happen to me a couple of times. Great shot!

I tell you Fred you have me envious with that slideshow. Awesome Job! I'm going to have to get that program ASAP.

Moose, you've got some shots to be proud of yourself. Love the C-130 shot coming off the water. Wish I knew that was coming Saturday. I was unprepared.

Mario, there are a few digital cameras out there that do multiple exposures and the D200 is on my wish list. As far as location, I'm right behind you on Sweet Hollow Road.
