According to a post on airshowbuzz.com, the British Red Arrows are stopping by Republic Airport on June 25th.
This should be interesting.
Anyone know any more about this?

I plan on taking that day off <G>
Great, I'll be on orders at Gabreski. :/
Guys... the Reds' show is absolutely SPECTACULAR!!!
Cool! I was wondering if they were going to drop in to FRG. Looks like I'll be spending some time around the old air patch :) I don't understand this line on the schedule though:
25 June Display South Beach, New York
Where is "South Beach, NY", and is it a full demo or just a fly over?
Last I heard, there was only going to be a flyover somewhere near NYC, though the term "display" could mean anything.
I know there were some "hush-hush" rumors about the Republic visit a few weeks ago, but I'm glad to see an official posting well in advance of the actual event!
I remember hearing about a flyover around NYC, which was why I was hoping for an FRG visit.
I got the following email from my friend in London 2 months ago. I think its pertinent.
Two Airshows in the US will Host the RAF RED ARROWS one is fairly close to you!
Rhode Island Air National Guard has confirmed the Red Arrows at their show June 28-29!
Langley AFB has confirmed the Red Arrows for June 21-22!
i'm going to be in OQU! SWEET!
from what i have red at work.. is they will be staying over night in FRG.. b/c we have parking instructions and everything else.. haha ive been told to keep it quiet.. but since its out.. ill find out more as it comes in
South Beach is in Staten Island. :D
From what I read, it is a full demo and not a fly over.

It is a full demo and will be at 6:30PM...
Great news, I'm on vacation this week. They tried to arrange to do a show over the Statue of Liberty but it was gonna be a logistical nightmare from the air traffic perspective.
That timing's perfect. It isn't on their website for some reason.
EDIT: Oh, wait... I just read it more in depth..
