    Yes, they did! Their last show where they used FRG was 2009, if I'm not mistaken. More discouraging is that while they are over at ISP, they keep their distance from the public. That's in contrast to...

    Just to follow up on this: that day, I spotted an F-15 down low over eastern Nassau. Flying multiple 360s. Later on, it was reported all over the news that *someone* busted the Presidential and/or UN...

    Back in the 70s and early 80s, there was an elevated Observation Deck at JFK open to spotters and anyone else who wanted a nice view. My memory is a little fuzzy but I think it was by the old Control...

    I am able to confirm that Civil Air Patrol will NOT be participating in the show, as performers with aircraft. This change was a relatively late development. However, CAP personnel (myself included)...

    I'll be stationed over at KFRG, helping out with Civil Air Patrol on the field. As far as I know, this may very well be the first time CAP actually participates IN the Airshow itself, with CAP...

    Just saw an E-2 Hawkeye on Final for KFRG, runway 19! And no trace of it on Flightradar24, either.

    To clarify, it lost a blade. They changed out the engine with their spare. Yes, FOD happens anywhere at any time. However, the team used that specific incident as a "last straw" reason to blame the...

    I have heard from a reliable source that the real reason the T-birds won't go back to Republic is in fact FOD related. Apparently the last time the were here, an F-16 lost an engine on T/O due to FOD.

    You may be thinking of the Blue Angels who typically fly down from here (in the alternate years when they're in town for the Airshow) for the Naval Academy Graduation.

    According to their site, there is also a mobile app available which offers performer info, including a live radio feed. Also noticed they have completely revamped the "logo" for the show.

    Swiftair 737 (N808TJ) just departed from FRG. Would that be the Islanders jet?

    Indeed. This used to be my "go-to" site for updates on anything happening locally. And there is *always* something interesting happening around here (KFRG specifically, LI generally), and that's...

    It seems that the entire website has become much less active, in general. Not sure where everybody went!

    Well...that was simply the inevitable outcome, from the moment they ordered their Dreamliners (which look very nice, btw!). They stopped putting money into the 744s a while ago, aside from regular...

    Very cool photo!
    No idea why the site isn't embedding the photo. Just tried to embed one of my own, using a Dropbox link, and that too, did not work! Oh well... :frown:

    Unfortunately, my understanding is that you cannot directly upload images to this site. What you need to do is upload to a photo site, or a dropbox album, and then insert the URL link to those images...

    Overheard on LiveATC now, Oracle-1 is critically low on fuel and requesting to land. Tower initially declined to grant landing permission as they're clearing the airspace for the Blues. But after...

    Number 3 is missing...anyone?

    Still in Annapolis. Wasn't able to overhear if that was planned or not.

    According to Wikipedia, that runway was used by GA, STOL and other commuter flights. Not sure, but guessing it was around 2,000ft. Apparently it closed as a runway in 1990. I do recall seeing planes,...

    Nice video. I briefly did some spotting at 10L, while on vacation a couple years back. How do 10R and 10L compare, in terms of the type and frequency of aircraft? Is it about the same? And how did...
