Thanks Ken!
Thanks Ken!
Yeah thats an area the Troopers are always going through since their barracks are located right there. I've never had a problem shooting there but usually its quick and out with one eye watching for the Troopers. But usually they are speeding so fast they might not even see you. You probably just ran into the one pain in the butt officer. Or maybe you look like an Iranian?
FYI- A public alert was posted in Newsday today, that two Blue Angel jets will be departing Republic Airport on Monday, April 2nd, between 9:30 and 11AM to do a familiarization flight over the Hudson River corridor in NY Harbor for their upcoming flyover in May to celebrate the Bicentennial of the War of 1812. During the Monday flight, the two F/A-18 Hornets will conduct passes over the Hudson, turning south of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and north of the George Washington Bridge at altitudes as low as 500 feet and and at speeds of about 345 mph, the Navy said.
No ETA for them on Sunday evening yet, BUT the weather forecast is looking ALOT better for Monday anyway. I'll be over at FRG on Mon. and hope others can get shots of the BLUES in NYC over the Hudson also
Quite an interesting day around the patch yesterday. Here are the highlights from my lunch break, then again towards the end of the day.
First, the Boston Bruins arrived via USA Jet Airlines
One of the local G550's off to HPN
Kalitta's Horse Charter did a long, low & slow takeoff...stretching the limits of the 100-400
Stingray chartered a Dornier 328Jet for the ACY run today
An EJM G-V headed to PBI
With JFK on the 22's, got some nice 3000' over the top action too!
Guess the Bruins jet left after the drop as they will be at MSG Sunday night. Ottawa jet should in later this afternoon, they are playing Philly this aft and
have Isles tomorrow aft.
anyone have a time for the blue's arrival today?
Nothing official yet. They are performing at the Tuscaloosa Air Show, and according to the show schedule, they go on at 3pm - Central Time. Figure they are done by 4pm Central, and at best, an hour to fuel the jets and prep for take off. It's about 900 miles (straight line) from Tuscaloosa to Farmingdale, figure 3 hours flight time, that puts them here at 9pm Eastern. In the end, your guess is as good as mine...

Air Canada A320 arrived at 4pm on a hockey charter. I was helping Paul fuel his T-6, so I didn't get any shots of the arrival.

They just landed. 9:23 Blue Angel 2 was 6 miles out on the ILS One Four, 7 minutes later Blue Angel 1 came in. Barely saw them with the low ceiling but
sure did hear them.
BTW I was in my backyard!!!!
Sounds like The Blues just landed?
