Offers
“History Under the Stars”

Many of the 2007 Jones Beach Airshow aircraft will be available for this first time ever night photography event!

The AAM at Republic Airport offers “History Under the Stars” to aviation and professional photographers selected following accreditation review. To be considered you must RSVP [email protected] by May 10, 2007 with your full name and links to published works (online or print). Security requirements mandate that only a modest number of photographers will be allowed on site after public viewing hours.

(This is not open to “point and shoot” cameras.)

Anyone who violates safety instructions issued by museum ramp staff will be promptly ejected as this is a working airport, airshow aircraft are present, and strict security regulations will be in effect. For any additional questions please Email [email protected].
All photos posted from this event must give American Airpower Museum at Republic location credit.

All the more reason to get an SLR! GRRrrrr!

[Derf]

For published works, can you please include links to you photos on Jetphotos.net and Airliners.net. Also list any magazines your work has been published in. Sorry Stuart.....I had to do it because space is very limited.

Oh man that is low!!! Hey you forget that 727 I got you! It was PanAm!

[Derf]

Brown noser!!!! ;)

FYI, there will be a Lancaster, B-17 and 3 A-10s present so far... I am sure there will MANY other aircraft as last year there were F-18's and F-15's, Vikinkgs and Fat Albert....but that was last year

[pgengler]

Sounds very cool!

[stuart schechter]

Fred,

It's fine. I am not going to be there anyways. But it would have been nice.

[GrummanFan]

Duuudddee! This is awesome! You will be recieving my resume shortly, hope I can make it in!

[Derf]

WOW, I have over a dozen entries in just a few hours....I have not
reviewed any of the requests as of yet but will need to close this to new
entries soon.... The photographers will be hand picked depending on
their request and review of their published work. I really wish I had more
spots for us but it is very late on a very busy weekend for the museum.

[flyboy 28]

Do we need to have published works in order to be considered?

Do we need to have published works in order to be considered?

On the web or in print would be good....ie Jetphotos/airliners.net?

I have space available.... Approved photographers will get an email withing the next few days.


Stuart Schechter, Please check your PM's

[Derf]

I still have space available

[T-Bird76]

For those who are attending this event I wanted to know if you wanted to do a group dinner before hand? There's a great little place right up the road from FRG called Black Forest, its German food with Classic American choices as well, prices are also very fair. If anyone is interested lets say we'll meet at 6PM which should be more then enough time to eat and then we can head over to FRG as a group. Please post if you would like to attend.

Black Forest...I know it well. Dinner sounds good, I should be there.

[lijk604]

Sounds like a plan. I'm in.

[eric8669]

I will be there.

[Gerard]

Black Forest is also a brew pub with a fine selection of freshly brewed
beer.

And I've sampled most of them... :D

[SCOTYDEMCO]

Sounds good Tommy, I'm game, anything comes up I'll be in touch.

[T-Bird76]

Ok looks like so far we have Moose, John, Eric, Scott, Gerard I think, and yes Nick has said he was coming even though he wanted Blackwells he'll grace us with his presence. lol So we'll meet at six and sit down around 6:15 6:30 to give any late arrivals some time.

[Informant]

And I'll most likely be watching all of you from an office window.

[pgengler]

I don't know whether or not I'll be able to make the dinner; I'll be going to the show at the beach that day with the girlfriend, staying a bit longer to make leaving bearable, and by the time I get her back up to the North Shore I'm not sure what time it'll be and whether I'd be able to make it over to the restaurant by 6. So, I might make it or might not; I want to, but it just might not be practical.

[NIKV69]

Sounds good, if you want to drive to my place and ride with me Tommy we can do that.

[lijk604]

I had a great time last night guys.
Fred, I'm glad you were able to get to your own event!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for getting this organized.

My favorite 3 from the event...

THANK YOU SO MUCH for getting this organized.

Thanks John, I do prefer to look at this a for the AAM and for all the Photographers as I am only trying to push the AAM..... I did it for selfish reasons :lol: :wink:

Sorry I rambled on last night....I was very tired. Can't wait until we do it again.... Hows real soon if they let us? lolol

[GrummanFan]

I'm still going through all mine, expect plenty more later. These were probably the best photos I've taken all week (no haze!! and they weren't moving or changing runways). I can't thank you enough Fred for setting this little shindig up for us. It was great to meet some of you others as well.

My favorite of them all
