    Team Oracle, featuring Sean D. Tucker will be there as well.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Memorial Day Weekend - show at the beach is Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24. If you are around on Friday, most of the performers have show practice, and you can see much of the display without the crowds of Saturday and Sunday. You can also join us at FRG to catch the comings and goings as well. And yes, it's about time you get to an airshow!

    There are usually several hundred people around FRG watching the arrivals & departures. I usually hit the practice on Friday, the show on Sat W/the fam, & hang at the airport on Sunday with my son listening to Rob Reiner on the radio broadcast.
    EVERYONE IS THERE TO SEE THE SHERPA!

    Then you probably saw Fred and me hanging around FRG on Friday the last couple of years. Actually, we usually hang around FRG starting about Tuesday... :D

    Yea thats what I did last year on Friday for the practice show. It was like a one hour train ride out there; but after see the RAPTOR doing A REALLY LOW, HIGH SPEED FLY-BY of the runway.... it was well worth it!

    I was going to advocate the Red Bull BO-105 CBS helicopter where pilot Chuck Aaron does incredible aerobatics then I go
    to the website and the Jones Beach Airshow is listed in his schedule.
    IS THIS TRUE??????? :) :) :)

    Yeah, Chuck Aaron did an interview at the ICAS convention out in Vegas this past December and he said
    that the Jones Beach Airshow was definitely on his 2009 schedule and he was really looking forward to it !!
    GREAT NEWS for the Jones Beach Airshow !!

    As usual, I'll be keeping tabs on the show with my blog-style website, http://www.longislandaviation.info. I'll update it soon, at some point in time when I'm not swamped with work. Definitely looking like a good lineup so far.

    I didn't think I would be around for the show, since I was attempting to get an internship somewhere far away from NY this summer, but it doesn't look like that will be happening after all :( Oh well...
    Shoot first, ask questions later.
