They typically takeoff within 15 minutes of the scheduled Show-time.
Been trying to get a show timeline rundown for a few days now. If that exists, Where is it posted?

It most certainly exists but for some reason this year they did not release it to the general public.

The A-10 East pilot said he would post as much as he could on: http://twitter.com/aerialevents

The practice show at the beach today wasn't impressive. The Blues were very good though. I ?

What exactly were you watching. For a "Practice show" it was very good. The gap between performances was because some of the performers did not go up today. The Blues were very good today and they didn't even do their whole show.

I needed more "thunder" :lol: The CF-18 and A-10 seemed like they were going through the motions. Maybe that
was just me and it was a "practice". But I've been to a number of other practice shows and they were much more
energetic.
Anyways..... did anyone notice the two civilian aerobatic planes tailing the Golden Knight plane as it climbed for
altitude? Then they buzzed the jumpers with smoke as they came down. That was very cool.
And loved the way the Red Bull jumpers picked up speed as they roared toward the beach then hit the brakes at the
last moment. 8)

It's usually Ed Hamill who does that with the Golden Knights.

The Blues were amazing at the beach! I will post pictures later. Just wanted to let everyone know I am heading to the 56 for happy hour, rumor was there may be some Angels there. I will be wearing a white tank top and skirt. Come and say hi if you decide to come!

Must be nice having the "legs" the skirt, LOL! Enjoy.

It was a long skirt lol

First off, nice photos folks!


Sorry, I would have liked to have met more of you and bumped into more folks. I had my daughter in her stroller and stopped draggin that thing about 100 past the boardwalk!

Loved the Blues Echelon rolls. Loved the entire show and it brought back memories to when I was them doing the same moves back in DC in late 79!

Being this was my first time to see the Jones Beach Airshow (not the first time seeing the Blues though,) I have to say I was happy with what I saw. Maybe I'll be brave to do the Sat/Sun show in the future!

Of course, one of the best moments was when the diamond crew where doing there pass while I knew 5 and 6 would be getting ready to do a clandestine run across the deck. But one is never prepared for it!


Yes, that one Angel came really low across the water, so low that from our vantage point 100 feet from the boardwalk, we could not see him across the deck, only hearing him until he pulled up. And of course, I was glad to see the second guy blast right above us!


Good fun and my son enjoyed it! (My daughter didnt even notice a thing except the sound.)

Good times!
Have a great weekend guys!

I tried to find you. I went and talked to Chris and walked around towards you but there was like 50 strollers. So I just walked by hoping you would notice me maybe lol

Going to Republic at around 11:30 and going to the airshow tomorrow. The weather really isnt all that bad today....just kinda overcast.

Fridays weather conditions made the performers a do their "low shows" on Friday. Winds today had the Blues do a non formation takeoff. Mother Nature is keeping the rain away, but still is playing with the performers.

Sure changes quickly doersnt it? I was at Eisenhower and it was cool and cloudy around 9:30 but by 11 or so the sun
breaks out and it turns into a real summery day. How was it a Jones?

Does anyone know why they Blues are using the 2-seater in position 4? I heard it's because the Super Hornets are coming so they are just trying to rotate the old stock so to speak. But it just sounded a bit weird to me.

Hope everyone has been having as much fun as me!
