    It has been confirmed through Air Combat Command that the A-10 East Coast Demo Team will indeed be at Jones Beach.

    Wow, that's interesting news about the F-22 possibly being at Jones Beach again,
    especially since the Air Force is already sending Thunderbirds to the show.
    Anyway, I'm sure if the F-22 is approved it would be based out at MacArthur again.

    BTW, Do you know where the F-18F and A-10 Demo teams will be based yet ?
    Also, any news on when the Snowbird is rescheduling it's visit ?

    Thanks for all your help keeping us informed !! :borat:

    I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for the Strike Eagle but if the T-Birds, A-10, and now the F-22 are there, chances are ACC isn't going to send another AF demo...

    Last time the T-Birds were there a B-1B did a flyby, that would be real nice too!

    The most recent ACC schedule (Feb 24) lists the F-15E demo at shows the three weekends prior to Jones Beach, and the two weekends following, so don't hold your breath. I remember last year, discussions about the F-22 demo said there was a limit as to how many shows per month (and/or consecutive weeks) the Raptor could perform at, due to pilot and crew limitations. If there is a similar restriction on the rest of the ACC teams, I wouldn't expect to see a Strike Eagle at the beach this year.

    I was living on the approach to FRG and remember the car alarms in my neighborhood going off. I was like WTF is that? Ran out back just in time to see the BONE flying low & dirty. Amazing bird.

    Not as loud as a Bone but more aerobatic. Mr. Matt Chapman has been officially added. :)
