BA 7 should be in Sunday afternoon, but the C-130 usually arrives with the rest of the team (or shortly before).

. I didn't mean Fat Albert I was referring to the C-130 from RIANG bringing in the are saying gear.

Mmmm ETA?

I haven't seen an ETA, Gerard, but I would assume it would be a couple of hours after they get done flying at Andrews, so 6 or 7pm, maybe.

I would guess early evening, no sooner than 6 or so since it will be at Andrews. They probably have a routine that they follow after shows and then travel time should only be about 30 minutes or so. This is speculative at best, as I have no inside info and will be driving up from DC myself at this time. If only I could get them to load my truck into their plane and then travel up with #7.... one can always dream..right?

Thanks John. If they use 14 I'll def hear them as I'll be at a BBQ in my neighborhood!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the C-130 with the arresting gear usually come the day before #7? And If I remember from years past they usually come around noontime.

The BFCU said they will be releasing the entire show schedule on Friday. This is very good because the last couple of years this information was unavailable.

Years past I was able to email Republic and get times of arrivals and even itineraries of arrivals and departures on show days. but this year I got a very short reply stating that everything will be on the electric boards around the airport. Think that was their way of saying "leave us alone!"

It's a busy couple of weeks at FRG, and the schedule is fluid, so I can understand not wanting to take up valuable prep time to send out detailed information that will in all likelihood change before next week.

Have patience, Grasshopper, the answers to many of your questions will be revealed in due time...

Thanks, for some reason it wasn't showing up in the posts yet it was displayed in my profile, so I re uploaded it and now seems to be fine.

Thanks moose, patience is not something i'm good with! Been waiting 2 years for them to come back!

And does anyone know, am i correct in guessing Macarthur is not spotter friendly?
