Re: Jones Beach Airshow 2010
I was watching your boys doing touch & go's at Gabreski a few weeks ago. Both the Pavehawks & 130's were in working that day.

Woo I love that time of year. Last year the weather didnt cooperate and we had to leave after 2+ hrs of waiting for the fog to clear. Man I cant wait.

That fog kept us from flying the shoreline on our way in. Plus we had to circle for about 30 minutes prior to landing. Looking forward to better weather this year!

Don't you guys fly into much worse weather than that on purpose? :wink:
Anyway, I usually work hard to keep http://www.longislandaviation.info up to date with blog-style posts on air show updates. I started doing that because nobody else was - for the first few airshows, information was scattered all over the 'net, so I just gathered it all in one convenient location. However, things have changed since then, and the official website, this forum, and Air Show Buzz are now excellent sources of information. As long as the first post in this thread stays up to date, I'm thinking I might as well just post a link straight to here. The effort I put in seems redundant, and I may not even have the time to keep up with everything (you know, the whole finding-a-job-after-graduation thing ain't easy these days).
What are your thoughts - will keeping my website active be a help or hinderance to the general populace? Please respond in a PM, I'd rather not hijack this thread.

Much less because of an airshow. We did however fly a few impromptu demo's to keep the crowd interested while the weather cleared.

from what i heard from the golden knights after it was all over, sean tucker did the same when he made like a helicopter and cleared a LZ for the knights to jump into.
Re: Jones Beach Airshow 2010
Sean Tucker is a riot and his daughters, or at least what I beleive to be his daughters were total smoke shows. Pizza and wine on Sean's dime last year. Right before the tag of "Viper East" was branded. LOL Unfortuneately, it appaears I will not be present for this event as there is a strong chance I will be moving back to SRQ 3/4 time.

Re: Jones Beach Airshow 2010
At first I panicked. I thought Memorial Day was the weekend before! Phew. Anyway, lets hope they can bring another awesome Demo team along. I would loved to see the B-1 of F-22 again.
As a huge Grumman fan, having an E-2 would be amazing as well.
Re: Jones Beach Airshow 2010
Since the Blues will be there, I wouldn't count on a Super Hornet demo. Hope ACC provides two demos, but I don't think that'll happen... wouldn't mind seeing Zeke...
Oh and Ryan... I'm sure you're thinking of Sean's wife. His daughter was not at Jones Beach (she used to travel to a lot of shows but because of school she only does west coast shows). Great guy, though!
