I really wanted to stay at the Trop again but the rates were $199/night. It was easy with the kiddies last year as my wife just took them to the pool deck.
I'm on the beach either way!

This is the first I heard that the Coney show was canceled. What happened? Couldn't they get sponsors? I was looking forward to this being a Brooklyn resident.
The airshow is on a wednesday? I thought thats what the site said and it struck me as odd....

What does the thunderbird enlistment ceremony consist of?

Gerard, I got that info from the airshow organizer who made a post on Airshow Buzz. They must have updated it after he posted. Also I believe 1700 is when the TFR expires. He said they have until 1700 just in case of bad weather or other issues.
Ken, that enlistment ceremony is when the swear in new airman to the USAF right before the Thunderbirds are about the perform.
Here is the updated schedule: http://www.atlanticcitynj.com/!userf...edule-rev2.pdf
They will also have a practice show on Tuesday but the flybys usually do not participate.

Yeah they probably keep updating till the last minute. But this Air Show promises to be awesome. And (knock on wood) the 7 Day Forecast (Yeah I know) looking good.
They added the NJSP Helicopters (again)! Also the B-52 and the Cobra were supposed to be a surprise but it some how leaked out (so they say). Anyway the forecast is looking good.

Yes it is.
Btw- The PA system isn't as good as the one at Jones Beach so I suggest you bring an AM Radio and tune into 1400 AM.
