Jones Beach Airshow 2010

I see somebody snuck down to the beach - I almost did that myself, but I ended up talking with the A-10 pilots, and the next thing I knew, the Blues departed.

Moose,

I was looking for you.

[Big Tim #70]

Well, as some of you know I was "Working" today. Unfortunately, my dumb ass didn't think about my Irish skin getting ravaged from the sun on the ramp. I walked in the house, red as a lobster. So busted... :oops:

Having card reader problems but for anyone at the beach this afternoon I would liketo buy Blue ANgel # 5 a drink after that incredible high speed pass right on the deck, if he does it again the same way you won't be disappointed.

oh, I got it.

[SpeedDemon88X]

oh, I got it.

AMAZING shot!

Blue Angels arrived about 9:30. Approx 11am, the diamond flew down to the beach to check landmarks and such, just before Noon the two solos did likewise. The full team (Fat Albert included) departed approx 1:45pm for a show practice. Two A-10s arrived just past Noon. Second Canadian F-18 arrived at 1pm. Civilian aerobatic performers were up and down much of the day. Golden Knights arrived early afternoon also.

Thank You!

EDIT- Was anybody able to get the flying times for each one of the performers?

FYI- the CF-18 Media flight was cancelled today because of the overcast weather apparently,
and the CF-18 Maintenance officer I talked to said it might be rescheduled for Monday possibly?? :borat:

Also, a bunch of us had the pleasure to talk "Dusty", the A-10 Demo pilot for quite awhile today,
and he mentioned as of right now he was due to fly in the practice show at approximately 12:45PM.

Anyway, it was great seeing Big Tim, Christina, Joe C., Larry, Moose and Fred today at FRG.
BTW, sorry you got busted when you got home since you looked like a LOBSTER, Tim !! :lol: LOL

WOW... seriously... who has jurisdiction over there? I think we need to keep a few NCPD or NYSP over there just for safety's sake! I normally don't recommend law enforcement in spotting locations but this is just getting out of hand...

I honestly don't think a police presence would help. It is just careless drivers who are trying to see what's going on a veer off the road. The weekend should be "Kaos"

I will pretty much stay off New Highway Sat/Sun. I'll hang by the Terminal or like last year by the movie theater
parking lot and 110 and by Dave & Busters or over by the back Atlantic parking lot by Bravo Run-up/Runway 1

At 12:55p Today the two Blue Angel solos(5-6) Retuned to FRG from their Circle maneuvers(Scouting) down at the Beach. I was at the fence line by the main Terminal. As they were Taxing back the Lead guy form the ground Crew was fielding questions Just before, During & After he was lining them up on the Tarmac. He Spoke of a THU 9a Departure for the Angels for the Annapolis Graduation Fly over. I Actually Remember them Coming And Going for that on that Fri in 2008 too. Also he mention a 1:45p Delta(#1-#6) Departure for the Fri Dress Rehearsal. Hopefully the Weather Cooperates.

I think I had seen some of you just prior to that over by the A-10s that landed at About 12:15p. There was a bunch of Photographers Huddled and Conversing on the fence-line in the Museum Lot just as the A-10 Shut there engines off. One of you were on the inside of the fence holding Court with a few on the outside. I wish I knew who was who I would have said hello and thanks in person.
... Anyway thanks for all the Great Shots you all take and Post here. :D :D :D
