Can anyone confirm was that a low show the Thunderbirds flew yesterday? Loved the 3 sneak passes but aside from that wasn't impressed.
I saw that yesterday and couldn't make out what it read. Sad but i guess if that's what it takes to keep the bird flying...
No Golden Knights today due to wind
Thunderbirds 1-4 going up at 10
When the Thunderbird slid off the runway 2 years ago I saw 6,000-8,000 was required in wet conditions. Couldn't find anything more specific about what they require. However their support manual...
Thunderbirds just landed
Lost its engine on takeoff?
Thunderbirds tweeted at around 8:30am that they are headed our way and will be conducting site survey at 3pm.
Someone on Facebook in the Ronkonkoma area reported seeing a Thunderbird flying toward MacArthur yesterday afternoon. Would make sense for it to be the advance pilot if the team is arriving today.
Very true Chris.
Also asked them if they had an ETA for their arrival. They said that unfortunately they do not get an exact time on their arrival but its usually in the afternoon. That would make...
Messaged the airport and they said that the Thunderbirds will be located in a different area this year with limited space and they will not be able to have a viewing area.
I was thinking the same thing as 2 years ago they had the graduation flyover the week leading up to the airshow
Weird only an hour in the afternoon and at 3:00. Makes ya wonder if they're coming in Thursday late morning.
Last two times Thunderbirds were at ISP the opened an area for viewing. Other than that they will chase you from what I've heard. I know non past threads for Thunderbird shows people have posted...
Just announced on Facebook that the Red Bull helicopter will be attending this years show. Been a while since we've had it!
Always a chance but a lot of teams are booked that weekend
At least Mcarthur has been getting better with setting up a viewing area for the Thunderbirds
Thinking the same thing. Usually by this point stuffs up for the airshow but every year its later and or less. A lot of the frequent posters aren't around any more from when I first joined.
That would be nice. Thought they also said something about trying to get A-10s at some point this summer.
Just saw on the American Airpower Museum's Facebook page that the CAF's FIFI will be there with a C-47 and T-6 June 27th-July 1st!

Very sad to hear about the Skytyper that crashed earlier today
The demo rocked at the beach but yeah, shame they skipped flyover at KFRG. I've never seen it there but have seen pics of him faking the landing.
What do you mean didn't take off in formation?...
So either Monday or Tuesday departure?
So when I was at the beach in Thursday for circles and arrivals I heard on the scanner the Blue Angels, not sure pilots or guys at the comm cart talking about if the weather gets bad the May get...
