    Airshow is at 2 today in Annapolis MD. Jets 1-6 + Fat Albert will fly in early AM Thursday morning. Friday Morning, the Blues 1-6 will fly down to Annapolis MD for the graduation ceremony flyover! They will then depart FRG at 2 pm Friday for the practice run at Jones Beach.

    Case solved!

    Early AM as in what time roughly? (I get up at 345 am for work so my concept of early is a little different than most I imagine...lol)

    Thank for the info

    Plan on a full practice on Friday, but I dont think the Warbirds usually participate in it (gas = $$$$$). Can anyone verify?

    Thank you Jared. Can you offer a rough time so as not to miss the flyover at Republic?

    I was told "Commissioning" by a pilot at FRG, so I looked it up and found this schedule:
