Thanks for the update Kenny.

Pretty quiet on there today. Oracle went up, and the crew at the AAM was working in a lot of stuff outdoors.
But you would never know it is air show week. What a shame.

Totally agree!! The sequester has put a damper on the event!! Not to say the AAM and the people involved with the show arent doing a fantastic job working to get a suitable show going but the lack of jet thunder and military participation hurts!! Sadly i decided to stay off the beach and just hang out at Republic on Sunday!! In the past I'd be off Fri-Mon to partake in all the fun but this year I'm actually working Fri AND Sat!! And there better not be ANY politicians from any party at the beach Sat/Sun including Chuck "I never met a camera/microphone I didnt like" Schumer!! Dont want to hear any BS in the media from these jerks.

I don't want to see Schumer or Cuomo anywhere near Jones or AAM!

Can someone confirm the loud fighter jet like noise i just heard from class? I'm near republic, so maybe the cf18's??

[PhoenixOne]

F-18 just passed over my house.

[Jared Blech]

Haha, guess i wasn't the only one screaming!
Maybe i shouldnt jump up and down in science class next time.

[PhoenixOne]

[Jared Blech]

[Jared Blech]

I only saw one. Anyone with further info? Thanks!

[Jared Blech]

Is there two performing or one??

[PhoenixOne]

Is there two performing or one??

It's usually one that performs. The 2nd plane is usually used for a back up in case of mechanical probs.
