Yankee Stadium Flyover

Just got word that there will be a "Military Aircraft Flyover" at Yankee Stadium today before game 2 of the World Series. I have no idea what is flying or where it is based out of but thought I would pass it along.

From Steve S in another thread

I hear the 3-ship F/A-18F Flyover by the VFA-11 Red Rippers from Oceana has been
rescheduled for tonight instead so keep an eye out for them over by LGA today.

Thanks Steve.

I have been advised they will be holding at a fix over Westchester County, then start their approach over City Island, overfly the stadium then making a series of right turns to land on 22 at LGA.

Based on prior experience will probably depart LGA mid afternoon Friday.

Got a better than expected view of the flyover from our Ramp Tower at LGA, ended up being 2 not 3 FA-18's. Did not make the comon formation landing, perhaps due to darkness, landed about 60 seconds apart on 22.

Cheers

Barely saw them on TV. Quick shot of them from the ground approaching. Only saw their green/red anti-collision lights.
Wonder why they didnt use an aerial shot from the blimp? BTW where is the blimp stationed? HPN?
