Hey guys. I didn't know where to ask this, but I didn't think it was worthy of its own thread.
What is the largest aircraft that you have seen (or heard of) landing/taking off at FRG? I have seen some 737's when teams fly in, but that's about it.
The two largest I've personally seen are the 757 - actually a USAF C-32 flying as Air Force 1 - along with the C-17 that brings the Thunderbirds team gear in for the airshow.

And while I never saw it myself, friends who worked for Fairchild-Republic back when they were building A-10s tell of the time a C-5 dropped in to FRG, back in the mid-70s.
I can only imagine what a plane of that size would look like a few hundred feet above my house.Quote:

Do I count 13 Hornets based at Republic this weekend? Mind you I just failed Math so there's a good chance I'm wrong :P

Anyway, with at least 13 to 14 Hornets at FRG this weekend it will definitely
be known as the "HORNETS NEST" now for sure !! :borat:
I think it should be named Republic Naval Air Station for this week.
I could not tell you where the USMC Hornets are coming from, I can only tell you that they were told to make room for 4. As always, airshow is a fluid operation and always changing and rarely calm. I am only saying what I was told.... Never know what will happen!!! :borat:
