    Nope.

    We'll have aircraft staying stateside, not sure if we'll have a flying demo yet this year. When I find out more I'll add to this.

    You guys shoulda seen what picked up our acft, it's about the size of a C-5, but it's not a C-5. This is the exact plane, just at another location. It was a good time dealin with these guys, and hearing some Russian, man times have changed. http://www.polet.ru/EN/index.shtml

    That's the Antonov AN-124. She's the little sister to the AN-225. Where was your camera???

    That's a catch right there, bro, with the AN-225 Mriya (dream in english) being the pinnacle. I'd love to see those shots.

    The 2 Bones will be coming into JFK Thurday making some passes at the beach Friday before they land. There will only be one B-1 flying at the show Sat and Sunday. They will be staging out of JFK Tommy, your in luck!

    I thought they were doing passes on Thursday before they land, in between the Tbirds practices, sometime between 11am and 2pm. I guess we still have to wait for the official info from Karl on that one.

    Yes, and this is a hard one to get. Came to Floyd Bennett about 5 years ago and as GrummanFan wrote - its the only one flying.

    Odd how it is advertised as American Warpower Museum aircraft - though obviously thats where it will be on this weekend.

    (and not the first time both the LAncaster and a B-17 have been together in NY - but thats okay... a little hyperbole for an airshow never hurt.. -) )
