    Re: Jones Beach Airshow 2010

    I saw the show earlier - the Blues Rocked - amazing pictures from all of you folks (My pics came out awful)- I thought all of the acts were very good (though I didnt get down till somewhere after 1130). I love the A-10!.

    My Daughter and I went down to republic afterwards - what time does the meet and greet run till? (we were down by the main republic terminal and didnt see anyone)

    The 2 f-18 that came in looked like they were from vfa -125 (Rough raiders).... are they doing any kind of a demo?

    The meet and greet only lasts until 15 mins after they get out of their jets.

    Well I went to the practice last year, and it was great. The Super Hornet flew twice and everything flew. Today was different. A few of the planes didn't fly, and it was pretty much a low show so that's the main reason why it wasn't super great. Like I said, the Blues were the highlight.

    Hey here's another one. What time will the Angels leave on Sunday? I gather they return to FRG to get their personal
    gear, debrief, meet and greet? then out.

    [quote="gettysburgerrn"]I saw the show earlier - the Blues Rocked - amazing pictures from all of you folks (My pics came out awful)-

    I originally hung out at Field 6 area but decided I wanted to be much closer when the Blues came on (GOOD CALL).
    Threw my chair and backpack in my truck and with camera and binocs cruised down to the shoreline a little east of
    the Water Tower. So there I am with my Canon Powershot trying to pick out the aircraft in the screen and all these
    guys around me with bazooka lenses!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
    I just shot and shot and looked later to see what came out good. Used the video option a lot also.
    Cant compete with the great photogs on this site (not trying) but very happy with what came out and that is all
    that matters. Its lots of fun just to shoot and shoot then when you look later you see what came out find
    some cool stuff. I'm putting up a Facebook photo album for the weekend.
    Thought I might run into NYCA members while walking the boardwalk and maybe I walked past some since except for
    John (Moose) I havent had the pleasure.
    Interesting that despite the $8 cover I thought it was much more crowded when it was free!!

    Re: Jones Beach Airshow 2010

    Hello All,

    I was able to go out to the airport and hung out by the gate area next to the Museum. The guard at the gate was very nice, he let a few of us
    stand there for hours with no problem. The Canadian CF-18 Crew must be the friendlies crew ever. They let everybody come up to their airplane, in small groups. I was able to take a few pics of the CF-18's plus I took a nice video of the Hornet's pre flight at about 1530. The pilot then decided to turn into the runway right there by that gate and lit up the afterburners for takeoff! I had to cover my ears since I didnt have earplugs. It felt like a small earthquake! Incredible. I was by the Dave & Busters lot when the Canadian F-18 came in to land along with the 2 US Hornets at about 1700. The US Hornets landed on the other rwy while the CF-18 landed by the Dave & Busters. I had a great time. Thanks to everyone in this forum for all the spotting tips!

    15 mins! No wonder I missed the meet & greet, I had not gotten out of field 6 yet.

    Unfortunately, I could only see the practice show this year. Wife is out of town this weekend and I have to watch the kid. :cry:

    Some pictures from today's practice show.

    Re: Jones Beach Airshow 2010

    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!
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.
