Jones Beach Airshow 2012

[eric8669]

Whole lotta nothing happening at FRG right now. Fog, on and off rain...

Snowbirds 1-3 got in last night, but the rest spent the night in central PA and hope to get in this morning. They were going to fly around 10:30 and again later today, but the morning hop is probably history.

Looks like the fog has gotten worse in the past hour, so I don't expect much to happen any time soon. Once things do improve, we still have a gaggle of planes that have to arrive before they can think about practice.

Hopefully weather improves soon.

I was just looking at the weather radar and it shows much of the rain breaking up,hope the fog does the same

Ken, post what you're using & the experts on here will give you some great feedback & advice (after airshow week). No worries, I don't think I've ever seen anyone get beaten up for posting things on here & I've certainly given the critics enough to bash LOL! This is a great site to come to to learn how to get better with your shots. Keep posting!

Does anyone know if there are any public places at Republic to view the Blue Angels parked? Sorry for the NOOB question :)

you can drive over to the main terminal. They are positioned to the left of it .. very accessible. Just turn off route 110 at the 56th fighter group sign, and park at the main terminal lot.

here's a few of mine from yesterday, first time ever doing any kind of photography.

Thanks!!

I was just by the terminal, they taped off the parking spaces along the fence and there are two vendors set up selling drinks, hot dogs, and Italian sausages. Also to note, there were six soldiers standing around the Blues and several around the Super Hornet as well - something you don't usually see at Republic. As if they were standing guard, not just hanging around.

I love the second one. Great photo. They were all good, but the second one hit my sweet spot with the formation takeoff.

Good stuff. I just joined the forum and haven't had the guts to post any photos yet, so you're one up on me for guts. Nice photos. I'm dying to get the heck out of work so I can get the cameras charged and ready for tomorrow and hopefully Sunday at least to some degree.

Just spoke to a friend at the beach. Heavy fog can't see the lifeguard stands from the boardwalk

Here's a live traffic cam at Jones Beach. It looks terrible right now. I'm staying home for now.
