    I think they are coming in because of that fleet week demo.

    Hey guys. I didn't know where to ask this, but I didn't think it was worthy of its own thread.

    What is the largest aircraft that you have seen (or heard of) landing/taking off at FRG? I have seen some 737's when teams fly in, but that's about it.

    The two largest I've personally seen are the 757 - actually a USAF C-32 flying as Air Force 1 - along with the C-17 that brings the Thunderbirds team gear in for the airshow.




    And while I never saw it myself, friends who worked for Fairchild-Republic back when they were building A-10s tell of the time a C-5 dropped in to FRG, back in the mid-70s.

    I can only imagine what a plane of that size would look like a few hundred feet above my house.

    There's more than 1? Hopefully they come in around 3 so I can see them after school let's out.

    Do I count 13 Hornets based at Republic this weekend? Mind you I just failed Math so there's a good chance I'm wrong :P

    Fred,
    Just curious, are the (4) F-18s coming in from VFA-86 by chance ??
    And will they be doing flyovers for the NYC fleet week ??

    Anyway, with at least 13 to 14 Hornets at FRG this weekend it will definitely
    be known as the "HORNETS NEST" now for sure !! :borat:

    I think it should be named Republic Naval Air Station for this week.

    I could not tell you where the USMC Hornets are coming from, I can only tell you that they were told to make room for 4. As always, airshow is a fluid operation and always changing and rarely calm. I am only saying what I was told.... Never know what will happen!!! :borat:
