Thanks for the link Ken.
I see there's only 2 shows listed so far for the F-22 Demo in 2011 on the ICAS site,
so I guess we won't know their official schedule until it's posted on the ACC website :wink:

AWESOME news ... BOTH the F-22 and A-10 Demo teams will be at Jones Beach this year !! :cool:
It was just posted on the official ACC website:

Knowing this, I may have to make the drive down to Jones Beach this year to catch the show.
i hope the ACC didnt make a mistake, but if this is accurate, this show is now all about the F-22. Maybe we can get an extended demo? Think it will still be at ISP?
No mistake. Don't be suprised to get some metal from the Navy too..
Yes! Now I am excited as I have not seen the Raptor since '07. Add the Super Bug and it will shape up to be a great show as usual.
I'm hoping that with a jet team not occupying the main terminal ramp, that the Raptor will stage out of FRG. This will let them be parked right under the nose of airport ops all the time. I know the Navy and A-10 usualy park at Sheltair.

I'm very happy I was wrong about the F-22!
Also sorry for the delayed forum update.

More Information
Today's Newsday (online...) has a story about the air show, saying that for the first time since it began in 2004, neither the Thunderbirds nor Blue Angels will be performing, due to the T-Birds overseas trip. The piece ends with this...
I've been hearing rumors about Fifi, but this is the first I've seen it in print!Quote:
To help fill the empty spot, the East Farmingdale-based American Airpower Museum is putting together a flight of historic bombers, a B-29, B-17 and B-25. The B-29, nicknamed Fifi, is the only B-29 in flying condition in the world.
ETA - I've had this confirmed by a source...
This years night under the stars is looking good!!! Now I have to see if they will allow us to do it again! :cool:
Now all we need is a B-52 FLY-BY!!! Then we'll have all the Boeing heavies!!:cool:
