It was the 2003 New York International Air Show. It was a pretty good show, the seating was mostly on a hillside next to the runway which made for good photography. The airport stayed open during the show which was pretty cool too.

The C-5 is a pretty incredible aircraft. Last weekend while at SWF I spent a good 45 minutes watching one perform what they call "missile dives" when the aircraft takes off and does many sharp banks and turns and climbs and then spirals right back down with full flaps and gears down right onto the threshold. It was very amazing.
