If anyone is at Islip I just had 2 Chinooks, a Huey and what looked like a Cobra fly right over my house.
My dad has been asking me and Ihve no idea, so here goes.
What time do the Tbirds usually do their show? Im assuming 4 PM. So here's asking me and Im telling him. And he thinks he'll pick up my kids on Friday aftrernoon at 3:15 and make it to Jones Beach for 4 PM from Huntington. I told him to get real.
Is 4 PM accurate?
Never caught the Thunderbirds at the beach but Blues in the past always went on the last hour. Fridays are not as crowded as Saturday and Sunday.
The B-24 is due in around 3:15 according to Flightaware.
With the show schedule being Noon to 5pm this year, I would expect the Thunderbirds to fly around 4pm. Fifi and Diamond Lil (the CAF B-24) are both at the AAM.
Any word on the thunderbirds arrival
Thunderbird 8 came into ISP around 3 today.

We set up in Red Hook to try and catch FIFI with the Statue Of Liberty in the background but unfortunately, she came down the river from the North, making a few slow lefthand orbits, making for very long and not particularly clear shots. It was good to see her back in the area though.

The NOTAM is finally posted: http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_5_4476.html
It only includes Thursday through Saturday (strange, unless they will post a separate one for Sunday, but that seems unusual...) and airspace restrictions are for Thursday 4 - 5 pm, and Friday and Saturday Noon to 5pm. And under reason for NOTAM, it says The USN Blue Angels and various aerial demonstrations.
Nice job Tim !
I see it was pretty windy there too with the white caps !:cool:
And so it begins...
