    Yes that's great, but is there any inclination yet that JB is actually getting the demo? Less than a week to go and the mood around here is pretty somber.

    On another note, a week ago Sunday I took part in the CFF walk at Eisenhower Park on behalf of my nephew who is afflicted. It draws a lot of extended family and friends who usually have or will head to the show. All of them just about came up to me and said things to the effect of, "So Pete......no airshow this year huh?" I corrected them but heard "But I heard a lot of people backed out?". If LI'ers in general have this view I don't think it'll be much of a traffic jam this year at least.

    We are getting an EA-6B Folks!!!!
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    Awesome. Would you happen to know if it is for the AAM or will it fly in the show?

    Just got back from Republic, aside from the AAM putting up the green fence covering you would never know it was air show week.

    Will All Displays Happen on Both Days?

    I am particularly looking to catch the F-18 demo, but the official website still doesn't list specific display times other than "Airshow, 10AM - 3PM" which I find a bit silly.

    Will all the demonstrations be the same for both days, or will half of the displays occur Saturday and half occur Sunday? Will the specific schedule ever be published in advance? (I'd asked a similar question a month or so ago).

    I wouldn't hold out for a detailed schedule. I've been to everyone of them and MAYBE 2 or 3 times tops was a sched put out, and then at the last possible minute on the website and then not entirely adhered to. The show always starts promptly at 10, with acro acts then usually followed by the warbirds. Tacdemos and more acro, the skytypers, 106th rescue demo are spread around the time slots. Remember this is a very tight timeline. When we've had a demo team, they take over by 2pm, so all other flying is done and on the ground before 2pm. This year IDK what the closing act will be. So if you need to catch a particular act plan on spending the day (til 3 anyway) at the beach or FRG. Again except for the warbirds which have usually started early in the show. Any yes the show has traditionally been the same BOTH days unless marred by weather.

    Also we still don't have anything official on the F-18.

    I've decided to skip this year. Was going to do the Sunday show but my plans started falling through and I just can't justify spending more for this show.

    Hope you guys have a good show - I will be back for 2012!
