If only the fog would lift :-(

Anyone see them? I'm guessing they didn't fly due to the wx.

Woz and I have a view of the Hudson from the point of view of the GWB looking south all the way down to around the Intrepid. We hear and see anything coming up the Hudson ... I have seen nothing or heard nothing so far...

It's a stealth fighter, Manny, what do you expect?

[Matt Molnar]

Where were they coming from, anyway? They're not at FRG, right?

[moose135]

They have Langley tail codes, and no, they are not at FRG, they arrived at ISP this afternoon.

[cancidas]

wait, F22s are cleared to fly again?

[moose135]

They have been cleared to fly for months. There is a new restriction requiring they remain in "close proximity" to a suitable airfield, which limits some of their operational missions, but flights like this are permitted.
