    B1 Bombers at JFK

    I just received word from the Port that a fleet of B1 bombers will do a low flyover of 13R/31L tomorrow at approx 1300L

    WHA? WHY?

    It really sucks that Fleet Week events are so poorly publicized.
    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.

    I took some time out and stayed for a bit. Saw two B1 bombers land as planned, but if there was a low pass of a fleet of B1s, I was not lucky enough to see it.

    Why would the Air Force only spare 1 aircraft for the actual Jones Beach airshow but fly a "fleet" of B1s over JFK with zero publicity?

    Two of 'em rolled past FRG, and continued to Jones Beach to practice.

    AFAIK, its only a pair of B1s
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    From where they are parked, is it possible to get a good view of them?

    Generally they park near the old Pan Am hangar which is blocked for the most part, so if you not on the ramp the only chance to get them is when they come in and out.

    There are two Bones because one is going to the Jones Beach show, and the other will be at the Millville show.
    Shoot first, ask questions later.
