    Superbug addition is good news. Now all we have to wait for is ACC to post their schedule. With the T-birds in town and the F-22 visiting last year my money is on the F-15E or A-10 East. Unfortunately, with the Snowbirds in town, I forsee the ramp being too small and overflow at JFK and/or ISP.

    You can bet I'll be there, either working or with my toes in the sand spectating.

    I'm trying to find out what the status of the taxiway work over near the terminal is. I'm worried that if things are torn up there in May, the T-birds may decide to find somewhere else to stage out of.

    That should not be a problem...they are waiting for the temp to rise to lay the asphalt. The Taxiway between Atlantic and the terminal may not be finished, but that should not make any difference other than one taxiway for runway 1 and not 2 taxiways.
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    What we are trying to do is have the snowbirds parked the same way as the Red Arrows were parked behind our terminal and have the t-birds go over to the terminal area. I havent heard much about anything else yet but it still is early and things change as fast as the wind.. but as i hear ill post it up

    If there is any overflow, lets hope it goes to ISP as JFK doesn't give you a lot of good viewing opportunities...

    ISP is worse. It seems open and friendly, but the SCPD does NOT like people hanging around the fences, and "rolls the equipment" immediately when someone is spotted, heaven forbid they have a camera with them. A few members here can testify to that.
