    Super Hornet practice demo this morning reminded me of one from a few years ago. If there are "high shows," this one would be called a "far show."

    Was a bit out there, I'm guessing due to the...

    Yep, there's been a nice clearing over the beach for a while now. Slightly surprised no one had come out to get while the weather is, if not quite great, adequate. Hopefully the clouds that surround...

    A Marine Corps CH-53E just (@ ~4:40 PM EDT) went screaming by overhead (~500-ft) here in East Meadow, headed southeast toward the Wantagh Parkway. Presumably this is the one that will be landing at...

    I've been there twice - 2009 and 2010. Really an enjoyable show in a great locale, with some incredibly beautiful lighting for the latter hours of flight demos. The number of aircraft on static...

    I hate to be a skeptic, but as best I can tell this is little more than political cover as we head into the electoral year. The Administration knows Florida will be a hard sell in 2012, especially...
