Blue Angel 7 went up Round 11 and just came back about 30 later!!
What a treat at the beach today full demo from f16
I could hear the blues but I can't see them lol
Breitling Team came in early and left early! Took off of 19 around 1:30.
Any time for Blues departure after the show?
Blues had to cut short their performance and return to Repubic!! Visibility issues and from sunny and clear Republic it looks like a marine layer has moved in off the water. On radio simulcast Rob Reider said the layer went from 150 feet to the surface and totally clear above that!! Well that just stinks for those at the beach!!
#5 is still at the terminal with the crew trying to repair it. Not sure what's wrong with it but looks like the crew and the pilot will be here for a while.
So I assume with the rain coming in tomorrow there will be no fly by over the Intrepid during the ceremony at noon ?
Two of my favorites from Saturday

Damn good it was!!! Except for the fog that rolled in to cut the Blues performance short the weather was great!! Oh it was a "little" warm and yeah HAZY at times ( the bane of the photog) but couldn't ask for better considering what was being thrown around by various sources in the days leading up to the arrival of the performers.
Quick questions: Snowbirds leave? A-10 gone? And any idea when the wounded Angel and Albert leaving?
Thanks guys!! Hope everyone had a great time these last bunch of days!! Some of the BEST action I've seen in a long time!! Great pictures also!!!!
Now today with all this rain and fog I can relax, have a normal breakfast and catch up on my DVR.
Some quick videos from my iPhone from the Weekend

Great photos Fred. The sneak pass photo is amazing.
Amazing photos Mark and moose
Can you upload direct to the site now or no? Haven't uploaded anything in close to a year.
Any flight operations out of AAM today?
Doesnt look like it as I just passed. Weather not great especially to the south and east where aircraft say the ceiling tops out at 900 feet and the airport just announced they are going IFR. One plane a Cessna 421 departed and quickly decided to come back. A flight of 2 red AStars from Liberty Helicopters "Blade" program came in and they might be there in Atlantic for awhile.
The Angel with the broken wing and his brother Albert have left and the arresting gear is packed up on two tractor trailers ready to leave themselves.
The A-10 still at the AAM and I believe it was scheduled to be here today for the Memorial Day activities. With the weather crappy they might not leave till tomorrow? Same with the B-17
Snowbirds parked with the canopies covered. If I remember correctly the last time they were here they didn't leave until Tuesday or Wednesday.
Flying at the AAM was cancelled today due to weather, both C-47 and B-17 rides. A-10, B-17, and Snowbirds are scheduled to depart Tuesday, but I don't have times.
The B-17 crew discovered they had a tire go flat overnight...

Since they don't carry a spare - it's pretty heavy, and I'm not sure they could even fit one in the airplane - they had one flown in on this BAE Jetstream 31.

In the end, it didn't affect flight operations, as the weather took care of that.
Wow, there were a lot of mechanical issues this year! And great shots all! Still haven't had a chance to do anything with mine from Thursday and Friday, not expecting much as the haze was a challenge and I'm still working on my photog skills. My camera crapped out so I had to sit out Saturday.
Surprise!!! Blue Angel 5 parked in front of the Main Terminal. My guess is it had been towed to a hangar (Talon?) to be worked on.
Almost 10AM and Snowbirds still here though hear possibly out between now and 11.
Looks like snowbirds are getting ready to depart
Who says the air show is over? The A-10 that visited the AAM, Wardog Zero One, took off and after his initial departure on 14 gave us three low and fast Fly Bys!!! Wow that was awesome!
