    Thunderbird #7 said they were departing around 11AM on Thursday and heading to their next show site in TN.
    Their C-17 support aircraft will probably be departing about an hour after they depart also.

    The A-10s departed around 10:15 and the Growlers departed around 12:15 and they all used RWY 14, and yes, the Growlers were very LOUD !

    FYI - According to the departures list on Flight Radar 24, the Thunderbirds "THBRD01"are now scheduled for a 1:00 departure from ISP
    and their C-17 support aircraft, call sign "THBRD14", is scheduled to depart around 2:20 today.

    Yeah, I saw that new departure time on FR24 posted for the Thunderbirds and also heard one of the
    ISP controllers mention he heard they were delayed also while I was listening to LiveATC before.

    According to Flightaware it looks like their C-17 support aircraft arrived at ISP last night around 6:00

    I work not too far from the airport. The C-17 was still on the ramp 30 mins ago, TBIRDS still parked as well. May get to see all of them take off after work anyway :)

    T-birds still at the airport this morning behind the North American building. When I passed last night, looked like there might have been some PR activities going on.
