Jones Beach Airshow 2011

No idea, I had not seen much of your night work and I have no idea what the competition will be like or how much of it there will be. I also have to make sure first we can even do it. If we can do it, it is like the Lotto....you have to be in it to win it!

Well derf 9/10 of my spotting is night shots inside JFK since i work the evening shift most of the time and with the sun setting early at this time of the year. I have stuff all around the forum posted. Take a look around one day and watch for new posts as I spot more.

Nick, it would probably be a lot easier for us to evaluate samples of your work if you point to where you have them posted (Flikr, etc) rather than relying on us to find your photos scattered around the forums.

I dont have them anywhere else aside from NYCA. Im a one place master. Give me some time and ill put a few up here for ya.

If we are able to do the event again this year there will be a formal release with instructions on how to enter. It would include you sending in 3 photos to be judged on quality. It is not how many megapixels but rather composition, proper exposure, and artistic quality. For your best chances I would start posts asking "how can I improve my night shots" and put examples.... Many examples. The resources on this forum are incredible and not to use it would be a crime. If your at JFK every night you stand an excellent shot of getting some outstanding captures. Enter your 3 best (if the event is allowed) and cross your fingers. This is how you stand the best chance of finding out if your that good, or improving so you are that good very quickly. I wish you luck but can not play favorites....

Any ideas on if the Raptor will stage from JFK?

**moose135** · 2011-02-12, 10:52 AM

It was at ISP last time. They wanted to use Gabreski, but had issues with the condition of taxiways...

As I understand it, Fifi will be at the terminal this year....as always, this is subject to change

Well at least the show is getting better with the A-10 & the F-22.

I still wish that somehow they could get a fly by or two of the still flying Grumman birds or an E-2 demo. When you think of the contributions LI has made to Naval Aviation it would be great to see these planes over Jones Beach.

I can't wait to see the B-29 that should be awesome.

Nice to have some aviation news. I was out a Republic yesterday and it was a ghost town.

Speaking to someone today, it was mentioned "Fifi doesn't usually travel alone..." Could the CAF bring their B-24 along for the air show? They don't have a 2011 schedule for either aircraft posted yet on their web site. Stay tuned, this might get interesting.

**Steven Holzinger** · 2011-02-14, 08:45 PM

Usually Fifi comes with the B-24. So yeah it's possible. It sure looks like I will have to come up for Sunday's show.

Oh if you guys haven't seen Michael Goulian fly, you will REALLY enjoy it! Here's a little preview...
