1023 - 1048 106th Rescue Wing Demo
1048 - 1058 Farmingdale State College Aviation...

Thanks for the update, Joe!

Great shots guys! I especially like this awesome heat haze shot from #5's exhaust over #7 during the cool double sneak pass !!
...

Well, I stopped by the AAM around 5PM to hopefully catch the Growlers arrival, but when I talked to one of the guys in the know at the museum
he said the 2 Growlers were currently on a stopover in...

Nice job catching the Vapor Fest sneak passes by Jake!!

Yes, the Blue Angels will be doing the USNA Graduation flyover down in Annapolis tomorrow at 10AM,
and they should be taking off from FRG around 9:15 - 9:30AM and return around 10:30 -10:45AM....

Nice job catching the Vapor fest down at the beach today, especially the special double sneak pass with #5 and #7, Joe !

My pleasure !! Very funny, no lottos number but ...
I did hear the Navy F-35C Demo team is due into ISP around 5:30 - 5:45PM today.

Also, the Blue Angels won't be departing after Sunday's show...

FYI - Heard from Fred K., who's having problems logging into the forums here this week,
and he's heard the Growlers are arriving around 4:30PM on Friday.

Blue Angel #7 is going to test the arresting cable now with the FRG ground crew.

Blue Angel #7 has just been cleared to land on RWY 14.

If it looks like this aircraft, then it's David Windmiller

BTW, after Blue Angel #7 arrives later this afternoon, they'll probably be testing of the arresting cable with #7 also,
so that everything is ready for tomorrow morning when the rest of the team...

Very cool!! Great job as always, Phil !

BTW, hopefully the Navy F-35C Demo team flies a similar demo profile as they did last year over Pensacola Beach
where the back-up F-35C joins in the fun toward the end with a cool sneak pass too!!
...

The Navy F-35C Demo team is from VFA-125 "Rough Riders" from NAS Lemoore in CA.

Unfortunately, haven't heard anything yet about the arrival times for the F-22 or F-35C.
I would think the F-22 would be arriving first since it's closer coming up for Langley AFB in VA,
because...

After Fat Albert and the Blues arrive on Thursday between 8:00 - 9:30AM, the 4-ship Diamond is supposed to take off between 10:30 - 10-45AM to do their circles down at Beach starting at 11AM,
and...

Update: Blue Angel #7's arrival time today at FRG is approximately 5PM now.
Heard that info from 2 different sources with the FAA and Media also.

Well, the only info I've been able to find out so far from Republic Airport Flight Ops is that Blue Angel #7 is due in sometime after 1PM on Wed., but that could also mean anytime between 1PM - 7PM?...

According to the American Airpower Museum's FB page it sounds like they're expecting (3) - EA-18G Growlers visiting the AAM this weekend.
They will also have the Top Gun Experience F/A-18 full size...

Great shots! Thanks for posting them! And yeah, Dover on Sat. was definitely one of the hottest shows I've ever been to!

Yeah, usually the TFR would be pretty much be the same times for Fri., Sat., and Sun., but this year they also included Thursday from 10AM to 3PM too!
The TFR schedule may have been done that way so...

Well, that's great to hear they're installing the arresting cable on RWY 32/14, cause that confirms the Blues will be using FRG.
No confirmed arrival times yet, but hoping to hear some info soon....

Great line-up indeed! Heading down there tomorrow! :cool:
