    You and me both!
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    You sure? According to this no Super Hornets are scheduled to receive heritage colors. In fact, except for that fugly digital scheme that one SH got, no two-seat Hornets are listed as getting special colors (save one Growler) I haven't seen any photos to show otherwise. VFA-122, which performs the demo, is getting a three-toned Hornet, but it is a single-seat F/A-18C.

    If they park it at the same spot at last time, you have to take a back road in. Its not through the main airport entrance. Its actually right near the airport firehouse.

    Well thats a good debacle we would be in. It would be a good idea to try and beat them into ISP so we can catch them on arrival. Though its still a ways off.

    If I remember correctly, last time they flew in late Thursday night, and flew out early Monday.

    Back in 2008 they were doing about 2 flybys a day over FRG from Thursday (or maybe Wednesday) - Sunday. Hopefully they'll do it again but it depends on fuel and other factors.

    It would be great to see the Super Hornet Demo at Jones Beach this year,
    BUT I'd also like to see them send this "Corsair Blue" Centennial Legacy Hornet
    from VFA-106 to do a demo and a Naval Legacy flight with an F4U Corsair too !!
    Now THAT would be a VERY COOL looking Legacy flight !!

    VFA-106's Centennial Legacy Hornet

    Wohoo I can attempt to fix the blurr shots I obtained last year with my film camera. I am really looking foward to this year.

    Has anyone checked out the official web page, and viewed this page "http://www.jonesbeachairshow.com/aircraft_performers.html" ? Is this new, or has it been this way for a while (in anticipation of them getting the T-Birds) and have not updated since?

    At first I thought it was last years page, but last year we had the Blues .. I looked at the Snowbirds schedule, and they have nothing scheduled for the last half of May.

    I know we have said that the T-Birds will be in Europe for Memorial Day, but their schedule has no shows for that weekend ..
