    Flyovers for the playoffs

    Nice flyover by VFA-106 Gladiators at the Yankee game last night, althought they used very little burner. For those that will be around or at the Met game this afternoon starting at 4pm, there will be a 4 ship A-10 flyover (from Willow Grove). If your going to the game get your camera ready, if your spotting at LGA too.

    Going to the Mets game today...my seats are high enough that I'll probably be able to high-five the pilots...no camera today though.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.

    Ticket has been claimed by a non-NYCA'er. Thank you for playing. :)

    Game starts in 39 mins, no A10s yet, but I'm pretty sure an ATA 753 just took off from 13.

    Not a very good one. And I had downed about 54 ounces of beer by that time.

    The A-10s never showed up. Anyone know why?

    Probably got to the game too late because they're so slow!

    I beleive they were did show up, because my 6 year old daughter said she saw 3 planes "racing" flying closely together yesterday afternoon I assume it was the planes for the fly-by....
    Overheard on JFK TOWER - S Turns are fine, U-Turns are bad....

    I was at Shea for the game, and there was no fly-by. Around 1:30 or 2 pm, while on our way to the game, I saw what looked like 4 F-18s that appeared to have departed LGA and were doing a formation rejoin over Queens before heading on their way.
