Republic Farmingdale (FRG) Notable Visitors

I meant SJ....I guess I will be able to see the skytypers take off and maybe the warbirds flying around (if they are still flying at the show, does anyone know?)

I'm a little lost here...or maybe you are. The show the Skytypers left for is at Seymour-Johnson AFB in North Carolina. If you are here on Long Island, you aren't going to see them until they return.

Didnt notice this yesterday but the fence by the parking lot adjacent to Hangar 5 is now all covered up with that
green grass-like substance making it impossible to sit and watch the aircraft. Of course that doesnt surprise me
as that is the Cablevision hangar and they are known for their.... "secrecy". :) :P

[Gerard]

Also nice to see some "older" JetRangers at FRG today that I've seen flying around these parts for a long time.
N206TD is 23 years old, N2068X is 28 years old and N206SH is the elder at 34 years old.

Either you don't visit that area of FRG often, or you aren't very observant. ;) j/k, bad Friday night humor.
They put that fence "grass" in 2 weeks ago. There are reasons why it was put it, but I am not allowed to say why.

More likely the second. :)

Well knowing the mind-set of Dolan and Cablevision it doesnt surprise me.

Can anyone confirm a P-51 take off/landing? Because I thought I heard something and by the time I got outside I thought I saw one in the distance.

Yes, a P-51 took off around 10am, returned around 11am. It was "Old Crow" - N451MG. I did manage to get a shot during his takeoff roll, but I was too far north on the runway, did not get the liftoff. Will post eventually, at work right now.

Oh yeah, Trump's S76 also paid FRG a visit today. Again...pics to follow at a later time.

And Kalitta Charters II 727 came in on 1-4 and roared out on 1-4. Interesting that it seems like they keep their engines
in idle while they offload?

Sorry I was lost, I have bad tendencies to word this wrong. Thanks though

The two highlights of the day for me today:

First: the P-51 "Old Crow"


Second: Mr. Trump's Sikorsky paid a visit (backlit)


...and a bonus...Michael Mancuso's new paint scheme for this year promoting his new sponsor Finn McCool's

I was watching the landing and the loading, they do not leave it running, that was just the APU.

I like Michael Mancuso's new paint scheme...
