Republic Farmingdale (FRG) Notable Visitors

>That would be my best guess...they are all coming in over the next few days, and Sheltair has to have the cars in place, ready to go.<

Saw placards on the dashboard today "Team Oracle" and another "Golden Knights".
People complain about the air show being a waste of fuel (THOSE PEOPLE :lol: ) but it is a nice jolt in the local economy for hotels,
restaurants etc.

I saw the vans also, I guess the T-birds got their ride, I remember when the red arrows came they rolled up in escalades, it was pretty nice. I thought I heard a plane that sounded like an extra 300, I cant confirm though. Also I hope we dont have protesters this year....

Why would there be protesters pray tell?

I don't ever recall seeing protesters at FRG for the Airshow???? If there were they were greatly out numbered by the spectators.

There were protesters at Jones Beach last year, I think moose has a photo of them.

I don't remember any protesters...but maybe anti-war protesters, perhaps, given the amount of military hardware on display?

still @ NFI and a CFI told me a thunderbird just landed to try out the arresting gear on 32/14 around 6:18 have no idea if he is staying

Thought I heard something out of the ordinary outside the house.

[Fighting_falcon_51]

I havent heard or saw anything, I cant even take a ride out....ugh

This is what I meant, I thought it was you who took the shots.

[wunaladreamin]

Ah yes, I remember those clowns from last year. I have plenty of comments for them but that would really hijack the thread. I did let them know what I thought of them as we left the beach after the show though.

That is suppose to be Tuesday at 10:30am... I am calling BS on this but do not know.

They would not set it up for one test. They setup, test and then get the rest of the birds in the same day usually. That is what they did last year.

If they did test, he will be at the terminal.

[Derf]

Moose just called and thunderbird 8 is on the ground and the hook is down....so much for BS as it is now confirmed!

[Fighting_falcon_51]

Yeah #8 is there, I saw moose and he is taking some shots, I'll upload mine later.
