Appears Blue Angels have changed their plans for today.

1 - 4 will be going up shortly for circles.

When end they return 5 - 6 will be going up.

Historically, does the stuff NOT based at FRG for the show still do a pass at Republic? (In other words, will I have to go to ISP to catch the F-16 and just forget about the F-35 if I'm at FRG?)
