    Heard a fairly reliable rumor that it is now 4 EA18 Growlers will be coming to (FRG) from NAS Whidbey Island out in Washington State for a Grumman event to take place Saturday... No confirmation on arrival (Not sure if tonight or some time Friday)... I take everything with a grain of salt / so lets see what comes in. Seems there will at least be 2 Growlers.

    Also, f-22s visually confirmed Islip (ISP)... Just drove past while driving home from work...

    Operations is talking about an inbound F/A-18 with no ETA

    No additional Snowbirds as of yet and it is pouring at the airport

    Yes, there are 2 Raptors, demo and a spare. Inbound Super Bug went to Atlantic City for the night, Snowbirds had to stop for fuel and are at least an hour out.

    I know Islip is not spotter friendly (being kind) but where exactly are they, the F-22's, being staged.
