They had 14/32 closed to all but military during the day but I wonder if they're going to allow the Snowbirds use it as it's the only one large enough for a formation takeoff. When the solo (SB-11) came in on Tues, he used 19.
The weather forcast looks a little sketchy this weekend. I've switched back and forth 4 times trying to decide what day I head down to check out the show and which day I will hang around the airport.

Nice shot Fred! Me gusto mucho.
Re: Today at Farmingdale 2008/2009
Amid the air show traffic, this plain white Saab 2000 stopped by for a quick visit, under the callsign "Justice 137", part of the DOJ prisoner transport program. Don't know if they were picking up, dropping off, or just getting gas.

Re: Today at Farmingdale 2008/2009
This is what happened today:
All the planes that were supposed to come in came in, but the times were a little off.
David Windmiller flew a couple of times (where is he parked)?
The Golden Knights made a flight.
According to the signs near the main terminal you can meet the Thunderbirds Friday at 2PM
I got to meet Thunderbirds #3 and #8 8)

I didn't see Dave's plane but I saw his support trailer over by the Skytypers hanger. It's over near Talon.

If I'm not mistaken, Dave is BASED at FRG so he would be in his own hangar.
Now...I got out a bit early today and made it to FRG to grab a few shots...
first two are from Tuesday when the weather was horrible...or so you thought (I love it)

(I know it's backlit, but it's my first catch of the Snowbirds)
...and Sean Tucker headed out for some practice.

I have a few of the F-18's & A-10's but I have one more early day tomorrow, so it's time I sign off.
Re: Today at Farmingdale 2008/2009
Ok, thanks Tim, I heard John Klatt is there, is that true.

He may, it's not a SKYTYPER exclusive hanger, it's just right there next to 109 and I saw Dave's trailer right next to the Skytyper's trailer.
I thought he was from out east though.

No, John had to cancel this year. I'm not 100% but I think I remember him saying last year that he was headed back to the middle east flying an F-16 and was going to miss the air show season this year. If you go on his website, it hasn't been updated for this year yet
Re: Today at Farmingdale 2008/2009
Yeah thats what I heard, but I have been hearing conflicting reports that he was there, thanks for clearing that up.
Re: Today at Farmingdale 2008/2009
Well I guess number 8 is OK since it flew in the practice today.

Not necessarily - they did bring 2 two-seaters in, and one was still not on the ramp today. This morning, the D-model on the ramp had no number on the intake, so it's likely that's the one that they put the #8 on.
Re: Today at Farmingdale 2008/2009
Moose I figured you would have been over to Talon and have the wholething figured out with pictures.
Outstanding shots as always.
Re: Today at Farmingdale 2008/2009
I took a look at some shots from last night, and you can see the D-model on the ramp with the rest of the team doesn't have a number on the intake...

But if you look close, you see the pilot's name and intake cover are for the #7 jet:
