Jones Beach Airshow 2012

anyone suggest a good time to head to the beach on Saturday? Have always gone on Friday and never had a problem but I don't want to leave to late and see that the road is closed. Would getting there by 8:00 be good?

Thats what i do. I'm on the beach at 8 and everything is smooth sailing. The security isn't even set up yet so you breeze on through

Sitting in the AAM parking lot....I thought maybe we could get in a bit early. Guess I gotta wait till 7

[dekdawg21]

Cool, thanks. Want to make sure I get a decent parking spot and a spot in the sand at show center

Was just told by someone at the AAM that the snowbirds were pushed back to an 8pm arrival

Why are you waiting in the AAM lot? Nothing is happening tonight.

Yes, the F-22s arrived at ISP today.

Grumman employee event to check out the growlers

There are no Growlers to be checked.

Are there Growlers there now too? Or just the F/A-18s?

A few from today's action

There is 1 each Super Hornet on the ramp. It is buttoned up, and the ground crew loaded up their car and left 45 minutes ago. Zero Growlers are on the ramp, and there is no event for NGC or otherwise.

Had a chance to meet two really cool people today. A 90 year old WWII vet who shared some wonderful stories on life and Ritchie, a retired police officer who was nice enough to let me use his ladder at Home Depot today. Good thing I didn't go to Jones Beach!

That's not what the email said. As it turns out, nothing is happening...so apparently our people gave us some bad info
