BA 7 said the team will be in at 9am
Anybody see/hear about tines yet?
I know in years past they had the ships come up the Hudson first thing. I'm also curious as to what (if any) aviation assets will make an appearance.
Outstanding Eric!
You're up then, I can't make it today (I cashed in all my get out of work cards last week). Post pics!
I'm heading up with a few guys on Sat as well.
if anybody is around this afternoon, the Snowbirds are doing a photo flight up the Hudson at 3pm.
Snowbirds scheduled to do a flyby of the Statue today, wx permitting of course.
3pm, coming from the South, heading North.
I stand corrected.
The C-17 just landed, and is loading up now. All the Jet canopies are open and they're doing a runway sweep now for FOD.
I would guess within the hour they will be airborne.
*Edit*C-17 is on the ground now. Looks like they're gearing up and should be leaving shortly.I was playing with a few warbird shots.https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8899/17887946139_771bfdb9cf_b.jpg

A few from yesterday. The later show start gave us much better light than in years past. https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5325/17416483213_d3b026fe51_b.jpg

I got it on video. Crappy as it was through the fence.

As always Moose, excellent shots!
That C-17 took off in less than 1000'! I'm sure that makes some 135 fly boys jealous! ;) *EDIT* Upon further video review, it was ~1700 feet, Tanker Drivers can...
It got real dark and started raining as they came in today so the shots aren't very good. But, it is good to see some fast movers back in the area. I love this time of year!!!

Thanks Chris! Windy, cold, & grey out there.
I just missed the ships. Traffic was horrible this morning and I got stuck in Brooklyn.
after FiFi came through, I did see to Chinooks, 1 Huey, and a cobra flying up the Hudson.
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...
I just purchased and started shooting with the Tamron 150-600mm as well. Only sports so far, but I love it. The only downside that I've seen is that it can be quite slow in low light. But then again,...
Supposedly, The hornet required the same airspace as the Thunderbirds and the FAA wasn't going to allow it. Apparently there must be a variable air show box this year.
I don't even care, as we...
Love the pics!
Stay Safe!
Bill,
when end shooting fast movers, use apature priority. When shooting props, shoot shutter priority (around 250 or slower).
as far as exact settings, I can't help you a lot there. Jones...

Def was Chris! It's been way too long!
Thanks guys!
It was kind of rough shooting today in less than favorable conditions but here are a few decent ones I got. I like the burner shot although I almost cracked my head open getting it. Hoping for...
Fred, you honor those brave men with your coverage of the services. Well done sir, well done.
