Was a beautiful day today! Even though we were missing #3 :-(
One of my grabs of the day.
Hmm...can't seem to embed an image from my Smugmug gallery... So here's the link

FYI- They still have a broken jet down at Andrews so they flew in another F-18 up from Pensacola
today around 12:30. The #7 jet was put into the Hangar this afternoon so that they could do
an engine change on it and after that was completed it went up for a test flight around 7:30
this evening and returned just after 8PM. So right now it looks like they have 6 jets and a
spare #7 ready to go for tomorrow morning for the USNA Graduation Flyover in Annapolis
and the Media Flights. Let's just hope they have better luck with ALL the jets tomorrow!!
Also. AAM's new P-51 Mustang finally arrived just after 4PM and the Corsair came in this evening also,
but right now that was being kept over on the southside of the Sheltair Hangar.
The Blue Angels are due over the USNA Graduation tomorrow morning at 10:04AM so I'd look for an 8:45Am-9:00AM departure from KFRG

@fk6065: Good Morning Fred, as a fellow Smugmugger is there a way to post an image from a Smugmug gallery to this site? I tried embedding a direct link to an image using the IMG tag, but no success. Any help is most appreciative. Tnx!!
This the link I used in an earlier post with [IMG][/IMG]

Good morning all, anyone have any info on the media flights for today?
A few questions from me:
1. Do we know if the forecast threatens to change things around tomorrow (thunderstorms around 2pm)?
2. Do we know if the Spitfire will be flying? Last I heard it was neither confirmed nor denied.
3. I know it's anybody's guess whether the F-22s will do a pass at FRG, but is there a general inkling?
4. What time does AAM open tomorrow? I don't mind getting there unreasonably early to get a good spot on the flight line, but want to make sure I show up when I should!
5. Will they let me in with a folding chair and a small cooler full of water bottles?
