Jones Beach Airshow 2007

[hiss srq]

Those bones screamed over Long Beach. I was awake and laying in bed and all the sudden I hear an abnormally loud but not so low jet. I jump out my bedroom window onto the roof to see the first bone go by and than I heard the second one comeing so I stayed on the roof for that one.

Who were the copters flying in? VIPs? The R44 and the TwinStar
made a number of runs during the show. And the R22 actually went
up with the photog during the show out over the ocean to take
some pix. And the State PD had a Bell 430 parked at an LZ by the
Nikon Theater. THey flew in right before the show started and departed
along the shoreline westbound about 15 minutes after the show finished.

I heard the copters were flying the airshow pilots down to the beach after their performances to meet the crowd, but can't confirm that.

I had my scanner on at FRG, and on one of the trips the tower controller asked who he had with him. The pilots advised they were taking members of the Golden Knights to the beach.

Could that goddammed Geico skytyping team have used any more smoke and made the sky any more hazy??

After a LONG weekend of jets, warbirds, and beer, here's my small sampling from the last day of the show:

Yeah there were times when I couldnt even see to the west and I was on the shoreline well east of the tower. BTW, my son was hanging out tailgating in Field 4 and he said during one of the B-1 passes EVERY car alarm went off!! LOL!!! Priceless.

[Gerard]

Oh yeah, thanks for the info on the helo trips. Strange to see the Twinstar 355AG flying without a Wescam on it. :O)

[Nick]

Thanks for the Pavehawk shots, I was so damn proud watchin our boy's do their work from the beach.

Here's the last batch for me...

I wish I was on the Atlantic Ocean side for the wicked vaps on these B-1 passes!







A long way from home

[Derf]

What an incredible day & night at FRG. Spent a large part of the day up in the old tower. Got to see the F-86 launch right in front of us.




......

Hey, You must have been right next to me when you took those shots!!!



Oh yea, you were!

Here are a few more.....man I am sure I took at least twice as many pictures....twice more than all of you combined!!!!
















What a great week......

Awesome F-86 shots!
Theres just something about the F-86 on takeoff and climbout that makes it different from every other plane.

B-17 and the first 2 A-10 shots are ace Fred. I really love the SNJ smoke shot, there's just something so cool about it.

Great stuff Fred, I love the daytime HDR shots of the A-10!
