Midwest MD-82, hiding behind Hangar 5. She came in overnight from STL, with the Blues, who are playing the Islanders tonight. I assume she will be leaving sometime later tonight, after the game.

We'll be seeing a lot more charters with hockey season going.
This afternoon around 1:15 an NYSPD Bell 430 (w/skids) N430SP came in low from the NW over the terminal parking lot into Atlantic in the same spot the MD-82 was parked and shutdown. At 2PM I saw them low NW over Woodbury Rd then about 25 minutes later low EB along the Northern State then back WB heading SW. All the
time they were below 1000 feet. I wonder if they were doing advance work for the Presidential debates at Hofstra Wed.night? State copters usually come in and
augment NC Air Bureau for special events and NC has only two copters availables with the third undergoing major maintenance.

Interesting - hadn't thought about the debate - I was over near Eisenhower Park this afternoon, and heard a helicopter circling to the west of the park. Caught a brief glimpse of it, but not enough to really figure out what it was. Thinking about it now, it did look like the size/shape/colors of this NYSP Bell 430 - I'm just about certain it didn't have skids:

McCain came to EWR today then the plane shuttled to FRG as SWQ804 so his 737 should be there

Maybe the Islanders are using it? They have a two city swing to Florida in a few days.

[quote="moose135"]Happened to swing by FRG without seeing Bill's post, and caught McCain's plane. It's down near Atlantic:
McCain is probably leaving the area after the debate while Obama has the big fundraiser in NYC at the Hammerstein Ballroom Thursday night so will
head back into Manhattan.
All guessing on my part.

You're may be right, that Miami Air may be for the Isles, they play in Florida Thursday, they may be leaving Wednesday. I'll have to check FlightAware in the morning. McCain is going on Letterman Thursday night, so I assume he is staying in the area also.

And NYPD had a 222UT for awhile back in the mid-80s that eventually became a hangar queen because of problems with (I believe) the Lycoming engines.

BTw guys I notice you got pretty close to McCains aircraft. Was there any SS/security around?

The State PD ship was in and out of Nassau Air Bureau this evening and also into the Trooper pad at FRG. Does anyone know their call sign?
I heard one ship off of Bethpage into Atlantic tonite around 10:10 and they were using call sign something "2-1". I thought I heard "Bird 2-1"
but not sure.

Well it definitely was the SPD. I think it was "Guard" or "Guardian 2-1". Around 11PM they were orbiting around the area of Rt 135/LIE/Northern State. I was inQuote:

approached my house and flew right over my head with absolutely no lights except for maybe two weak lights by the nose. No wonder I didnt see anything.
Seriously thought I was going nuts. I wonder if this was on purpose not having any anti-collision lights/strobes or they were broken or heck ,maybe they just
forgot to put them on. Well they were heading into Atlantic for the night and I'm going to bed knowing I aint crazy (well maybe).
