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

Sorry for the late reply as I have been very busy today.

Now it does look like the practice will be the usual 10AM-3PM. Yesterday I got an email saying it was taking place from 9AM-2PM. But since the TFR is from 1400 to 1900 and the Blue Angels said they were departing at 1:45, it looks like it is 10AM-3PM.

To be honest I think someone mistakenly converted UTC to EST instead of UTC to EDT when reading the TFR.

I believe that it just landed as I heard a loud jet roar overhead at about 10:00

[PhoenixOne]

just flew over my house (old bethpage). surprisingly, he was very quiet until he got over Spagnoli rd.

Here are some taken a short while ago:








The last one was left angled intentionally. After 11 PM they shut off the runway lights and turned them back on for the last shot, the lights going by in the background is a jet than came in for a landing and then passed behind the #6. These were shot through the fence.
