You're right, Steve, besides the Thunderbirds, F-18, and Harrier Demos
already on the schedule for Coney Island show, I'm hearing you can
also expect to see the A-10 Demo added to the line-up soon, along with
a couple of other Air Force aircraft flybys including the F-22 !!
Here's the recent Air Force announcement about "Air Force Week" in NYC:

Will there be 2 practtice days before the show? I cant fathom the traffic and crowds on the weekend- especially with a 4 yr old in tow :mrgreen: - she loves watching planes....but sitting in the car in traffic makes her more than a tad ornery

I'm on vacation that week so my Unlimited Metro card for LIRR/NYC subways will be getting a workout!! :)
Lucky you...maybe I canfigure out a railroad route there...Its gotta be better than the parking lot the belt will be....
ken :D
Coming from LI, LIRR to Jamaica then switch to train to Atlantic Terminal, Brooklyn then connect to N, Q or D, l ast stop Coney Island. Probably an hour or so.Originally Posted by gettysburgerrn
Excellent thanks for the directions!!
Ken :borat:
Do we have dates and times for this show? It looks to be shaping up very well, and may even be better then the Jones Beach Show.
Hopefully it will be a safe environment, and we wont have to worry too much about trouble. That area is iffy.
Is there more then 1 field? The only part of the beach I know about it right behind the amusement park, near the baseball stadium. Do we know where show center will be?
This is shaping out to be an excellent show, but now I have to decide between this or Atlantic City.
I haven't been to Coney Island but I did hear it was an iffy place so that is another concern I have.

During the summer months and especially for an event like this the area will be well protected. I've been to CI each of
the last two summers for Cyclones games and plan to go again at the end of July and never had any problems. In fact
one year we hung out on the boardwalk after the game for a few hours and then I took the train back to the LIRR. And
this was in the evening. The air shows will be during the daylight hours.
Do we have firm dates and times? I would assume from the Air Force press release that it is Aug 28th and 29th. Do you agree? Do we know show times? I hate all of this not knowing! I want to plan!! (and beg my wife to go too, but I think I am flying solo .. pun intended :lol: )
FYI- From what I've heard the show will be 4 hours long,
so I would think it will be either 10AM - 2PM, or 11AM to 3PM.
The rest of the 2010 ACC schedule was released today and the
A-10 Demo was officially confirmed for Coney Island Air show also.
I've also heard the Geico Skytypers and the Lucas Oil Aerobatic Pitts
have been added to the civilian performers line-up for the show also.
Anyway, it's shaping up to be a great show with the Thunderbirds and demos by
the A-10, F-18, and Harrier along with other possible Air Force flybys too.
FYI- the website for the NYC Air Show at Coney Island is finally up with some info.
The Thunderbirds,Golden Knights, A-10, F-18 and Harrier are all scheduled to do demos,
and I've also heard from the show that the F-22 Raptor will be there doing some flybys also ! :D
Civilian Performers so far are the Geico Skytypers and the Lucas Oil Aerobatic Pitts.
Here's the link to the Air Show's website where more info should be posted soon:

According to the website, the F-22 is official! Woo Hoo!!
