Fred the last two shots are priceless!

NOTAM is up http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_2_3151.html

I wonder if there will be a practice on Thursday also (at least with the Blues) since there is a TFR.

[fk6065]

If the Blue Angels follow their normal show routine they will practice Thursday, probably in the afternoon.

I am wondering if they are going to go up on Tuesdsay to get a practice run or two up the Hudson

Since the Blues won't be practicing their Demo on Tues. and Wed. like they usually do during a regular week back home, I'm sure they will be doing a practice demo down at Jones Beach on Thurs. as long as the weather cooperates

I caught up with the crew as they were leaving the terminal this evening and he read right off the schedule the following:

Nothing tomorrow
Wed NYC (didnt get the time...sorry)
Thursday Practice 1:45
Friday Practice 1:45

Of course, thats always subject to change, but like I said, the guy I spoke to from the BA crew was reading right off the printed schedule he had on him.

[Chris S]

BINGO !! Thanks for the info from the Blues crew Rich.

The sign at the airport from the Rt 109 entrance said that the Blues were due to fly on Wednesday at 11:00 Am

Great shots!! mine arent half as good......maybe I will try to post them later....anyway, I noticed on the Nyasinfo website the practice for friday is listed as 9-2 (as opposed to the normal 10-3 of the weekend show) is the 9-2 time correct?

Thanks

Ken

The Blue Angels are to flyover the Hudson at the end of the Parade of Ships which would be around 11:00-11:30am on Wednesday miorning. They will approach the Narrows from the south and follow the Hudson north over Manhattan

I haven't heard how many passes they will make

Hello Fred,
The timing would make sense with what the sign states, it probably only takes a few minutes for them to get to Manhattan from Farmingdale.

According to an email I got, 2 Growlers will be arriving in FRG this week (earlier reports said 1 Growler and 1 E/A-6B). Apparently there will be some type of event at the AAM, so hopefully we can catch a real good look at the planes .. too bad the blues will be across the airfield.

From what I heard at the museum the other day they decided not to give them an E/A-6 because they already have one there waiting to go to Bethpage. But the Growlers are fantastic!
