[Big Tim #70]

Ken: Saw the accident from the Terminal, didn't know it was you involved. I'm glad you're all ok.

Derf: Thanks so much for the personalized treatment today. It was very gracious & generous of you to share your access & goodwill with us. Much appreciated my friend!

You DA MAN, Fred !!!! :borat:
AWESOME air-to-air shot of Tucker, Chambliss and Klatt all together !! :D

Ken,
Very sorry to hear about the accident on New Highway today,
and I'm glad your brother and Aunt will be OK !!
I sure hope you'll still be able get to down to the show especially
after ALL your hard work with the updates here. Thanks again !!

[Gerard]

Wow. Glad nobody was seriously injured...but man that road is just a nightmare.
Yeah after this accident I can't stress the importance of being aware whether you are the driver or the spectator.

I just saw (Airshow)Steve put a warning and heads-up on his Facebook page and I put a heads up on the Bethpage FCU Air Show Facebook page. Lots of Yahoos out this weekend and the more we can warn people the better. Even out of
tragedy some good can come.
Glad your family members are home and recovering.

[fk6065]

Fred Unbelieveable shots keep them coming!

Thanks liquid.

Did anyone get a shot of those Sea Knights today?

[NLovis]

I was down that road. All they did was patch up a few areas. They really need to expand the road a little its too narrow if you ask me. Glad your ok falcon and best regards to your family. What would be the best place for tomorrow morning? by AAM?

Thanks.

Either the AAM or Main Terminal should be a good spot to watch the planes.

I'll stick around by AAM. i'll probably be on top of my car. By AAM is that a good area to catch them landing?

[Zee71]

Here are a couple from Republic. Also, sorry the hear about the accident. I saw all the commotion from the terminal side, but it was difficult to see what had happened. Hope everyone recovers quickly.

Hey Guys-- Caught the 7 today

Beautiful Jet!

[moose135]

Kenny, sorry to hear about the accident, glad everyone is going to recover.

Fred K - I was on the other side of the Rwy when the CF-18 arrived, then headed to the parkway and off to work. I passed a guy standing on the roof of his truck on that side, I assume that was you. Nice catch!

[gettysburgerrn]

Falcon sorrry to hear about the accident- I am glad that everyone is ok, but man people drive like maniacs down that road....

Ken

[NLovis]

Well just about showtime. I will be risking my car on the side of new hwy for this unless the terminal is better for the initial landing. any last second info will be a huge help :borat:

[mirrodie]

Falcon, glad to hear that things fared OK for you.

I ran into Kenny twice uyesterday, (as I was doing Home Dopey runs all day) and I did see the Cf18 at a distance.


Came to Home Dopey again (and nearly ran over Kenny...) and the CF18 was out and about.


Took my son to see the 530 Blue 7 arrival. She got there 15 min early so we missed it.


Anyhoo, what time are the Blues slated to go op today?

[Danycam]

They're Here...

Just heard the Blue Angels from my Office in Copiague approx 9:25a. When I went out side I saw 2 Making Sharp Banking Turns in the the area around the Airport. Im A few Miles to the south of FRG. Now Listening to Traffic on Audio Steam on my office Computer. Thanks W2LIE.

Heading over to FRG at Lunch to maybe See some Activity. Does anyone Know aprox time for Any Blue Angel or CF-18 Departure Take-offs Today for Media or Rehearsals

Falcon Wishing Everybody the best and a Speedy Recovery.

[fk6065]

Blue Angels came in at 930am. I think one had an instrument problem. Walked back to my car to grab a drink and missed Fat Albert.

I heard the same thing about instrument problems. hopefully nothing too major

[LouB]

The team needed some time with the arresting cable, plus a private jet couldn't wait.... (listening to the tower)

I saw them land then had to rush off for another non-plane shoot....

And some kid rear ends me getting on the the SSP at 109 !!! Good thing I was in the Rover and he hit the bumper.

So we have at least 2 hits (maybe it's me).... be careful !

lou

[fk6065]

Sitting on New Highway and a van drove off the highway and just missed the car in front of me. The tower just advised all aircraft that numerous air show related flights are going up shortly

[Steven Holzinger]

WOW... seriously... who has jurisdiction over there? I think we need to keep a few NCPD or NYSP over there just for safety's sake! I normally don't recommend law enforcement in spotting locations but this is just getting out of hand...

[Danycam]

10:55a
They Are Up & Out Again. Angels Just went out over to the East of my Office in Copiague Heading Toward the Beach. Only saw four at that time in Formation.

[NLovis]

Practice show. There is one today

[Fighting_falcon_51]

Last year the SCPD was there just to make sure everything was safe. They should do that again this year. This is madness.

[NLovis]

Yea I do believe they were there

[NYC787]

Is there a detailed schedule for the air show where we know who flies when during the show?

[mac7526]

A-10's just flew over my building on 110 looks like everything is landing from the north today

[puckstopper55]

Blues used 14, and the A-10's used 19

[mirrodie]

buzzin my office here on wellwood

[mattymo317]

How many a-10s will be in the show??

[Steven Holzinger]

One... the other is a spare.

[mattymo317]

seems like a pretty weak afterburner line up, lets hope for a couple extra fly bys

[Speedbagel_001]

I was stationed in the parking lot of the movie theater when the Blues came in this morning. I noticed an SCPD car on the other side of the lot. I was there from 8:45 until they landed, and the car did not move from it's spot. I was surprised when they came in late - very unusual for the military to not arrive on time, even if there was a problem enroute. Didn't help that I was supposed to be at my office at that same time. Now I gotta make up all the time missed!

To make things worse, the photos I took came out terrible. Most of them were out of focus. I was using a telephoto lens and I could not focus the lens fast enough to catch them in time. Memo to self: practice shooting fast-moving objects ahead of time.

Oh well, at least I was in a good place to see them land as I guessed the right runway for the approach. I was afraid they'd come in on 32 since a handful of departures were using 1. Got lucky with that.

GREAT Pictures Moose!!!

[Steven Holzinger]

Crap... the CF-18 spare is a single-seater. I was banking on a two-seater so I could see if my jet was still out there...

[ch2tdriver]

Anyone have a time for the CF-18 to launch for it's practice show tomorrow?

Does he use 14/32 as a rule?

Thanks
Pete

[jzarv]

Quick Question i know some years the blue angles don't practice on friday. Will they be tomorrow? Thanks

[Fighting_falcon_51]

I do not think so. The second CF 18 came in on 19 this afternoon.

Great shots! Good to see you again!

[gettysburgerrn]

Saw them land this morning around 9am - the only person more thriled than myself was my 4 yr old daughter who was yelling at the top of her lungs.. :lol: I also saw them at the beach this afternoon - they never disappoint and always amaze...

I honestly don't think a police presence would help. It is just careless drivers who are trying to see what's going on a veer off the road. The weekend should be "Kaos"

[fk6065]

Nice shots Moose sorting through about 1500 from the airport today and the afternoon beach practice.

And yes that was me weight testing the roof of my Jeep on New Highway yesterday for the CF-18's arrival.

[gettysburgerrn]

By the way is there a schedule of when each of the performers go? I know the Blue angels go at like 2pm but what about everyone else?

Ken

Having card reader problems but for anyone at the beach this afternoon I would liketo buy Blue ANgel # 5 a drink after that incredible high speed pass right on the deck, if he does it again the same way you won't be disappointed.

[moose135]

I see somebody snuck down to the beach - I almost did that myself, but I ended up talking with the A-10 pilots, and the next thing I knew, the Blues departed.

[Fighting_falcon_51]

Can anybody give me a run down of what happened today and who arrived? I wasn't able to make it and I'd like to update the thread.

It seems like I might be able to make it to the USMC demo on Saturday. Does anyone know where to stay and watch it?

[eric8669]

I was looking for you.

Well, as some of you know I was "Working" today. Unfortunately, my dumb ass didn't think about my Irish skin getting ravaged from the sun on the ramp. I walked in the house, red as a lobster. So busted... :oops:

AMAZING shot!

[moose135]

Blue Angels arrived about 9:30. Approx 11am, the diamond flew down to the beach to check landmarks and such, just before Noon the two solos did likewise. The full team (Fat Albert included) departed approx 1:45pm for a show practice. Two A-10s arrived just past Noon. Second Canadian F-18 arrived at 1pm. Civilian aerobatic performers were up and down much of the day. Golden Knights arrived early afternoon also.

Thank You!

EDIT- Was anybody able to get the flying times for each one of the performers?

[Chris S]

FYI- the CF-18 Media flight was cancelled today because of the overcast weather apparently,
and the CF-18 Maintenance officer I talked to said it might be rescheduled for Monday possibly?? :borat:

Also, a bunch of us had the pleasure to talk "Dusty", the A-10 Demo pilot for quite awhile today,
and he mentioned as of right now he was due to fly in the practice show at approximately 12:45PM.

Anyway, it was great seeing Big Tim, Christina, Joe C., Larry, Moose and Fred today at FRG.
BTW, sorry you got busted when you got home since you looked like a LOBSTER, Tim !! :lol: LOL :wink:

I will pretty much stay off New Highway Sat/Sun. I'll hang by the Terminal or like last year by the movie theater
parking lot and 110 and by Dave & Busters or over by the back Atlantic parking lot by Bravo Run-up/Runway 1

[Danycam]

At 12:55p Today the two Blue Angel solos(5-6) Retuned to FRG from their Circle maneuvers(Scouting) down at the Beach. I was at the fence line by the main Terminal. As they were Taxing back the Lead guy form the ground Crew was fielding questions Just before, During & After he was lining them up on the Tarmac. He Spoke of a THU 9a Departure for the Angels for the Annapolis Graduation Fly over. I Actually Remember them Coming And Going for that on that Fri in 2008 too. Also he mention a 1:45p Delta(#1-#6) Departure for the Fri Dress Rehearsal. Hopefully the Weather Cooperates.

I think I had seen some of you just prior to that over by the A-10s that landed at About 12:15p. There was a bunch of Photographers Huddled and Conversing on the fence-line in the Museum Lot just as the A-10 Shut there engines off. One of you were on the inside of the fence holding Court with a few on the outside. I wish I knew who was who I would have said hello and thanks in person.
... Anyway thanks for all the Great Shots you all take and Post here. :D :D :D

[Nick]

We're bringing a Pavehawk to the beach tomorrow. Please come up and say hello!

[Big Tim #70]

Anyway, it was great seeing Big Tim, Christina, Joe C., Larry, Moose and Fred today at FRG.
BTW, sorry you got busted when you got home since you looked like a LOBSTER, Tim !! :lol: LOL :wink:

Dude, Friends don't let Friends get their pasty Irish Skin fried when they're playing hookie! :lol:

The funny thing is that I actually thought she wouldn't notice. Wrong! :oops:



I think I had seen some of you just prior to that over by the A-10s that landed at About 12:15p. There was a bunch of Photographers Huddled and Conversing on the fence-line in the Museum Lot just as the A-10 Shut there engines off. One of you were on the inside of the fence holding Court with a few on the outside. I wish I knew who was who I would have said hello and thanks in person.
... Anyway thanks for all the Great Shots you all take and Post here. :D :D :D

Yep, that was us! Chris S, Christina, Moose, Joe, & I. The guy inside the velvet rope was none other than (Fred) DERF.




LMFAO I am even redder then yesterday. Need to go buy tube top shirt so I don't look like a farmers wife haha

I wish the Farmer tan was my issue. I could have played that off but my head looks like an Atomic Fireball. Tomorrow I'm actually taking a real vacation day and I'll remember to bring the sunscreen!


All in All it was a great day at the airport. Lots of action & it was great chatting with Dusty & Sporty for more than an hour!

The arrival this morning

Great captures Fred. Was that from the Theatre Lot? Where is your favorite spot for a 14 Departure?
I think I am going to camp for the Potential Fri 9a Departure that I heard about From Angels Ground Crew.
But I do have to get to work so I think this will be only look at a Take off till Sunday.

[fk6065]

And lastly the low high speed pass, it was unbelieveable!

But I do have to get to work so I think this will be only look at a Take off till Sunday.

The arrivals were taken righ by the fence in the Home Depot parking lot at the end of runway 14. I think it wasthe only time they landed on 14 today, the other two times that I wasthere for they used 32. I would figure on a 14 departure which is what my take off shots were. And they were taken from New Highway overthe fence between the arresting gear and the tower.

[fk6065]

Yep, that was us! Chris S, Christina, Moose, Joe, & I. The guy inside the velvet rope was none other than (Fred) DERF.



I sat there and watched Fred work the fence like he was the president or the pope, it was three deep and all the rest of the crowd was wispering, "That's him, that's the picture guy." I couldn't even get close enough to introduce my self to thre rest of the NYCA & ASB members.

:wink: That is almost exactly how that scene went. :wink:
I actually did turn to my friend that I brought from work and said,
"Thats must be the guy who took a lot of those photos that are on that Website I showed you."

[mirrodie]

I opted to see a few patients today but caught their 1400 departure as well as their 1450 arrival back to FRG today by the 56th.


Didnt see any familiar faces there today though.


Taking my kids tomorrow to the Beach on Friday. ANyone else planning to hit the beach tomorrow? If so, text me.

Moose thanks for posting that timeline. I should be there by 11am thus catching most of what you mentioned!

[mirrodie]

I'll see if I can even dig out my old NYCA navy blue shirt.

Fun in the sun with the kiddies! Lets just hope the weather clears earlier than later!

[lijk604]

Okay, had actual things to do around the house after I got back from FRG today. But, I managed to edit a few keepers, enjoy!

[PunkySpunkyRae]

Hi All,

So I'm new to this page. My name's Rachel. Everyone seems so knowledgeable and helpful so I'm hoping you won't mind answering my question tonight. (I spent the early evening skulking around Republic) but I plan on going to practice at Jones tomorrow. The thing is, I don't know what field I should go to. Can anyone help me out and tell me the best spot to go to?

Thanks so much! And I look forward to being active on the board!

[Wingzero]

Great Blue Angels pictures everybody. I kept thinking of the Van Halen "Dreams" video while seeing the pics lol.

I will be at FRG tomorrow at about 10-ish. I'm not sure where to park at when I get there, but I'll be the skinny bald guy probably wearing a JetBlue cap. :)

[moose135]

Welcome aboard, Rachel. I'll be at the beach Friday - I park in Field 4, and set up on the boardwalk near the central mall (where the water tower is) That is show center.

[Big Tim #70]

Welcome Rachel!

If you're looking to take pictures, I'm with Moose. If you just want to watch the show and not have such a crowd, head on down to the West Bath house. Keep in mind that the 106th will have one of their Pavehawk's on display over at the West Bath house as well. That should be arriving sometime today.

[GeronimoDF]

Does anyone know what time the blue angels take off today?

[Fighting_falcon_51]

2:00PM

[Big Tim #70]

Dusty said yesterday he thinks that the A-10's are going up around 12:30.

[Greg_NY]

Does anyone know what time the CF-18 is scheduled to practice today?

Thanks

[puckstopper55]

Anyone notice the forecast for tomorrow? Chance of rain wouldn't worry me too much, but the lightening does. I am on the fence as what to do. I am worried that if the storm comes, we wont be able to get to the car or a safe place.

If I wait until Sunday, I know it will be PACKED. Ugh

[Fighting_falcon_51]

There is always the chance of the occasional T-storm. Since the beach and airport are both pack on Sat/Sun it wont make a difference. Personally, I'm going to try to make it to the USMC demo on sat and the show on sun.

[Big Tim #70]

Blues enroute to the USNA!

[Danycam]

9:15a Blues1-4 & then 5-6 just Past to the East of my Office in Copiague. USN Academy Annapolis MD Fly-over is at 10:04a.
Return to FRG ?????
They will Go up again @ 1:45 For Todays Beach Rehearsal.

Hoping the Boss lets us out early for the Weekend. For now Im tuned into W2LIE Stream.

[Danycam]

Official NY Air Show Site is Pretty Lame this year. They used to Post Exact Show Schedule Times for all the Acts.
Is this info posted somewhere. All I am seeing is 10a-3p. Does anybody know the Breakdown of the Acts times.
If so could you post a link or list them here. Thanks

[GeronimoDF]

Ok See you guys there.....Red Dodge Ram with a newborn...

[Fighting_falcon_51]

I'm gonna try to make it for the Blue Angels practice. I'll be over by the terminal.

[Danycam]

9:50a CF-18 Just Went over My Copiague Location Heading South.
Media Flight????

[Fighting_falcon_51]

9:50a CF-18 Just Went over My Copiague Location Heading South.
Media Flight????
Most likely the practice show.

[GeronimoDF]

They are using runway 19. I guess that means Route 109. I was hoping they would be launching off runway 1.

[PunkySpunkyRae]

I'll be down at Field 4 today. (Getting there around 1:30 most likely.) Come say hello if you spot me. (Average height brunette woman with two cameras running around with excitement.)

PS: Can I get in trouble for bringing a video camera?

[Danycam]

10:32A Blue # 7 is up and over Copiague heading South

[Fighting_falcon_51]

PS: Can I get in trouble for bringing a video camera?No, those are fine :borat:

[Danycam]

10:32A Blue # 7 is up and over Copiague heading South

Im glued to my Desk but our Shop Supervisor told me it was low enough to see the #7 and it was circling.

and This Just in... Angels just Returned From USNA @11:05A

[GeronimoDF]

What runway did they come in
on?

[mattymo317]

What are we thinking on the weather for tomorrow, the Guy on 880 says 20% chance of showers and tstorms, everyone else says 50%

[Fighting_falcon_51]

I'm going to work on getting the full flying schedule!

[puckstopper55]

What are we thinking on the weather for tomorrow, the Guy on 880 says 20% chance of showers and tstorms, everyone else says 50%

I am not sure .. I think I will check the forecast tonight, and maybe tomorrow AM. If there is a chance of T-storm I think I will stay away. Sunday is looking real nice.

[NLovis]

I'll be in sunday cause i have to work at 3 on sat. I just got my pictures back and out of 3 rolls the only 400 ISO roll I had on me came out good. The rest are dark and blurry..... Used 200 ISO on those as recommended.... Sticking with 400 for the show.

[Christina]

The Blues were amazing at the beach! I will post pictures later. Just wanted to let everyone know I am heading to the 56 for happy hour, rumor was there may be some Angels there. I will be wearing a white tank top and skirt. Come and say hi if you decide to come!

[Fighting_falcon_51]

Either a USN or USMC F-18 just came to FRG

[fk6065]

Must be nice having the "legs" the skirt, LOL! Enjoy.

[fk6065]

Anybody know if the E6 Prowler rumored to be coming in is still true?

[LouB]

Really !! it would be great to see a prowler back in the the sky over LI !

[Joe]

Either a USN or USMC F-18 just came to FRG

Actually, two just came in.

[Fighting_falcon_51]

NICE!!

I dont know any information on the other planes but keep and I out for a Prowler, C-17, and maybe even a T-6

[RepublicAviation]

The practice show at the beach today wasn't impressive. The Blues were very good though. I was at the airport when the 2 Hornets arrived.

[Gerard]

NICE!!

I dont know any information on the other planes but keep and I out for a Prowler, C-17, and maybe even a T-6

2 F-18s came in from the south almost 5PM. They were given option of 1-9 or 1-4 but chose 1-4. Cool for me as I was
parked right in the movie parking lot. :D
They came in and did a fly-by first with a break to the left. When they came in the second time the first F-18 did a
go-around and the 2nd landed. At the same time I believe it was the CF-18 coming in. He was given 1-9 but had
to wait until the Hornet came around then he landed 1-9 and the F-18 1-4!! Got all that? LOL!!
Was there until 6:20 and never saw the C-17 or the Prowler.

[Fighting_falcon_51]

Thanks Gerard!

I just left the terminal to get food and I saw an F-18 fly over.

I'm sorry about the C-17 and prowler I dont know what happened to them.

Also, does anyone know if Julie Clark arrived?

[Dan N]

Great practice today.. the sky sucked.. but I made the best of it.

Good seeing you again Fred!

Looking forward to tomorrow.. hopefully the weather holds out.

Thanks for looking!

[Gerard]

[quote="RepublicAviation"]The practice show at the beach today wasn't impressive.

I have to agree. Long times with no action. I even was able to finish a book I had brought with me.
The CF-18 was alright as was the A-10. Nothing special.
Enjoyed a number of the aerobatic guys and girls!!
BUT.....the FRIGGIN ANGELS ROCKED!!!!! :D :D
Fat Albert started the performance with a number of fly-bys and turns. Very cool.
Then the main performers came in from the ocean side!!
Wow they were so good. Maybe it was me but it seemed at times they flew lower and closer than I had seen before!!
And the one jet blasting along on the deck while a second roared over our heads top speed from the rear
proved that my heart is in pretty good shape!! :)
And another time I watched as one of the solo performers came in low from the west. But as they got closer I
realized it was actually BOTH the soloists. They were so close it looked like one jet!!
It was a wonderful performance and worth sitting there for 4 hours until they came on.

[Fighting_falcon_51]

The practice show at the beach today wasn't impressive. The Blues were very good though. I was at the airport when the 2 Hornets arrived.
What was wrong about it? Was it not up to par with the airshows from previous years?

She flew the show today towards the end.

Great!

I think im gonna catch the demo tomorrow (I'll probably be over near the AAM) and then watch the show sunday.

[gettysburgerrn]

I saw the show earlier - the Blues Rocked - amazing pictures from all of you folks (My pics came out awful)- I thought all of the acts were very good (though I didnt get down till somewhere after 1130). I love the A-10!.

My Daughter and I went down to republic afterwards - what time does the meet and greet run till? (we were down by the main republic terminal and didnt see anyone)

The 2 f-18 that came in looked like they were from vfa -125 (Rough raiders).... are they doing any kind of a demo?

KEn

[Fighting_falcon_51]

The meet and greet only lasts until 15 mins after they get out of their jets.

[RepublicAviation]

Well I went to the practice last year, and it was great. The Super Hornet flew twice and everything flew. Today was different. A few of the planes didn't fly, and it was pretty much a low show so that's the main reason why it wasn't super great. Like I said, the Blues were the highlight.

What he said!!! :lol: My thoughts exactly.

[gettysburgerrn]

Ok that explains it - there was no way we were going to make it from the beach to republic at that time (with a stop at white castle..lol)

Ken 8)

[RepublicAviation]

So does anyone know what part of Republic the MAGTF demo will be yet?

[Gerard]

[quote="gettysburgerrn"]Ok that explains it - there was no way we were going to make it from the beach to republic at that time (with a stop at white castle..lol)

White Castle 8)
I left at 3:45 and did good until I hit the Southern State. Took 135 to Hempstead Tpk and that was heavy till 109.
I wanted to catch the F-18s (DID!!) and they were due at 5 (ON TIME) so I wasnt too crazed!!! :lol:

[Gerard]

So does anyone know what part of Republic the MAGTF demo will be yet?

The $64,000 Question.
Hey here's another one. What time will the Angels leave on Sunday? I gather they return to FRG to get their personal
gear, debrief, meet and greet? then out.

[quote="gettysburgerrn"]I saw the show earlier - the Blues Rocked - amazing pictures from all of you folks (My pics came out awful)-

I originally hung out at Field 6 area but decided I wanted to be much closer when the Blues came on (GOOD CALL).
Threw my chair and backpack in my truck and with camera and binocs cruised down to the shoreline a little east of
the Water Tower. So there I am with my Canon Powershot trying to pick out the aircraft in the screen and all these
guys around me with bazooka lenses!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
I just shot and shot and looked later to see what came out good. Used the video option a lot also.
Cant compete with the great photogs on this site (not trying) but very happy with what came out and that is all
that matters. Its lots of fun just to shoot and shoot then when you look later you see what came out find
some cool stuff. I'm putting up a Facebook photo album for the weekend.
Thought I might run into NYCA members while walking the boardwalk and maybe I walked past some since except for
John (Moose) I havent had the pleasure.
Interesting that despite the $8 cover I thought it was much more crowded when it was free!!

[Fighting_falcon_51]

Im thinking they'll leave around 5PM or so.

Hello All,

I was able to go out to the airport and hung out by the gate area next to the Museum. The guard at the gate was very nice, he let a few of us
stand there for hours with no problem. The Canadian CF-18 Crew must be the friendlies crew ever. They let everybody come up to their airplane, in small groups. I was able to take a few pics of the CF-18's plus I took a nice video of the Hornet's pre flight at about 1530. The pilot then decided to turn into the runway right there by that gate and lit up the afterburners for takeoff! I had to cover my ears since I didnt have earplugs. It felt like a small earthquake! Incredible. I was by the Dave & Busters lot when the Canadian F-18 came in to land along with the 2 US Hornets at about 1700. The US Hornets landed on the other rwy while the CF-18 landed by the Dave & Busters. I had a great time. Thanks to everyone in this forum for all the spotting tips!

[Wavefront]

The meet and greet only lasts until 15 mins after they get out of their jets.
15 mins! No wonder I missed the meet & greet, I had not gotten out of field 6 yet.

Unfortunately, I could only see the practice show this year. Wife is out of town this weekend and I have to watch the kid. :cry:

Some pictures from today's practice show.

First off, nice photos folks!


Sorry, I would have liked to have met more of you and bumped into more folks. I had my daughter in her stroller and stopped draggin that thing about 100 past the boardwalk!

Loved the Blues Echelon rolls. Loved the entire show and it brought back memories to when I was them doing the same moves back in DC in late 79!

Being this was my first time to see the Jones Beach Airshow (not the first time seeing the Blues though,) I have to say I was happy with what I saw. Maybe I'll be brave to do the Sat/Sun show in the future!

Of course, one of the best moments was when the diamond crew where doing there pass while I knew 5 and 6 would be getting ready to do a clandestine run across the deck. But one is never prepared for it!


Yes, that one Angel came really low across the water, so low that from our vantage point 100 feet from the boardwalk, we could not see him across the deck, only hearing him until he pulled up. And of course, I was glad to see the second guy blast right above us!


Good fun and my son enjoyed it! (My daughter didnt even notice a thing except the sound.)

Good times!
Have a great weekend guys!

Good to see some familiar faces today....

[gpalz1]

Finally was able to stop at the terminal today and take some test shots with my new camera. Nothing fancy. I'll try my hand at some aerial shots this weekend.

About that low pass...do they perform that at the actual show? I thought there were safety regulations. Not that I would mind having a Hornet fly so close to me. Must have been awesome to be right there.

Thank you

The practice show at the beach today wasn't impressive. The Blues were very good though. I ?


What exactly were you watching. For a "Practice show" it was very good. The gap between performances was because some of the performers did not go up today. The Blues were very good today and they didn't even do their whole show.

[Liquid_Squelch]

Here are mine from Practice Day number 2.

Love the hdr effect.


I have to agree! There are plenty of people who know how to take a shot and mangle it with HDR..

You sir- YOU did an excellent job and turned it into GOLD! :borat:



In other news, the Live Scanner Stream on my site is good to go for the Air Show tomorrow. A lot of listeners where logged in today. I didn't hear anything negative come back, so I am assuming it is working well.

I also have the Air Show audio being archived in 30 minute blocks to my website. http://www.w2lie.net/download.php?list.41
See you around Republic & The beach!

[Johnathaneric]

Outstanding shots so far from everybody that has made it so far down to FRG and at the practice show on Friday.... I got down to the practice show about 930-940am and hung out with Moose and John Klos and his family...... I missed the WWII aircraft and the Blue Angles, had to leave for work..... Got also to meet Eric for the first time, don't know what handle you go by on the forums.....

Will be down at Jones Beach on Saturday with my NEW lens
(Canon 100-400mm L lens).... Treating myself early for my birthday in June...
Can't wait to get some sweet shots with this lens compared to my
Sigma 18-200mm. If you see a guy with a Alaska boonie hat, thats me......

Some of mine from the Angel arrival. Note the usual quality I have :( I cant seem to get a break even once. Oh wait I did on the 400 ISO film. Hopeing I can catch a huge break during the show. I will go crazy if I spend $20 again to have a handful come out good out of the batch. First up the good ones from my 200 ISO rolls. All UNEDITED.

I Hear that- I was trying to do much the same by the west bathouse- lol :lol: I had so much trouble with the glare I was getting off of the screen (I have a powershot as well), it was awful to use - I didnt even try during the Blue angels as I didnt want to waste their performance being frustrated...

It's funny because I had the opposite problem lastnight.

I was trying to shoot static aircraft on the ramp & all I had was my zoom lense so I was having to stand back 50 meters just to get the aircraft in a shot. As Derf said, "A Bazooka to a knife fight"...

Does anyone have a more specific take off time (from republic) for the jets today?

[Fighting_falcon_51]

Some of it will be posted here:http://twitter.com/aerialevents

They typically takeoff within 15 minutes of the scheduled Show-time.
Been trying to get a show timeline rundown for a few days now. If that exists, Where is it posted?

I needed more "thunder" :lol: The CF-18 and A-10 seemed like they were going through the motions. Maybe that
was just me and it was a "practice". But I've been to a number of other practice shows and they were much more
energetic.
Anyways..... did anyone notice the two civilian aerobatic planes tailing the Golden Knight plane as it climbed for
altitude? Then they buzzed the jumpers with smoke as they came down. That was very cool.
And loved the way the Red Bull jumpers picked up speed as they roared toward the beach then hit the brakes at the
last moment. 8)

It's usually Ed Hamill who does that with the Golden Knights.

The Blues were amazing at the beach! I will post pictures later. Just wanted to let everyone know I am heading to the 56 for happy hour, rumor was there may be some Angels there. I will be wearing a white tank top and skirt. Come and say hi if you decide to come!

Must be nice having the "legs" the skirt, LOL! Enjoy.


It was a long skirt lol

First off, nice photos folks!


Sorry, I would have liked to have met more of you and bumped into more folks. I had my daughter in her stroller and stopped draggin that thing about 100 past the boardwalk!

Loved the Blues Echelon rolls. Loved the entire show and it brought back memories to when I was them doing the same moves back in DC in late 79!

Being this was my first time to see the Jones Beach Airshow (not the first time seeing the Blues though,) I have to say I was happy with what I saw. Maybe I'll be brave to do the Sat/Sun show in the future!

Of course, one of the best moments was when the diamond crew where doing there pass while I knew 5 and 6 would be getting ready to do a clandestine run across the deck. But one is never prepared for it!


Yes, that one Angel came really low across the water, so low that from our vantage point 100 feet from the boardwalk, we could not see him across the deck, only hearing him until he pulled up. And of course, I was glad to see the second guy blast right above us!


Good fun and my son enjoyed it! (My daughter didnt even notice a thing except the sound.)

Good times!
Have a great weekend guys!


I tried to find you. I went and talked to Chris and walked around towards you but there was like 50 strollers. So I just walked by hoping you would notice me maybe lol

Going to Republic at around 11:30 and going to the airshow tomorrow. The weather really isnt all that bad today....just kinda overcast.

Fridays weather conditions made the performers a do their "low shows" on Friday. Winds today had the Blues do a non formation takeoff. Mother Nature is keeping the rain away, but still is playing with the performers.

Sure changes quickly doersnt it? I was at Eisenhower and it was cool and cloudy around 9:30 but by 11 or so the sun
breaks out and it turns into a real summery day. How was it a Jones?

[PunkySpunkyRae]

Does anyone know why they Blues are using the 2-seater in position 4? I heard it's because the Super Hornets are coming so they are just trying to rotate the old stock so to speak. But it just sounded a bit weird to me.

Hope everyone has been having as much fun as me!

[gettysburgerrn]

Had a ball today at republic - went to the meet and greet afterwards - it was great, made my daughters day- Me I just enjoyed the takeoff and landings ..a nice day overall..

How was the Marine demo at Eisenhower? I was very disappointed that it was canceled at Farmingdale, of course I waited for an hour before giving up on it. Any idea why it was canceled?

As far as weather was concerned, with the openness of the airport, it was very windy and a little on the cool side. I enjoyed the weather and the planes. There was a dark gray C-147(?) that did a fly over at Farmingdale, however, it stayed somewhere else as it never returned. I look forward to the show at the beach tomorrow.

Mother Nature teased us this morning but the clouds burned off nicely for the second half of the show.

Windmiller looked amazing! I love that plane & am in awe watching him fly.

Hamster changed the sponsor, paint job & show narration. What didn't change was his precision flying. Looked great.

CF-18 had amazing music, unfortunately, they had to do a low show. Looked much tighter today and Boozer does a good job at working out that Hornet. I loved the Dirty Pass with everything, including the Refueling probe!

John Klatt looked as sharp as ever. He was missed last year and it was good to see him & his WOOO-HOOO Flip back!

The entire RED BULL team was amazing & it was cool seeing Chamberliss flying in person.

Loved the 106th. That HC-130 must have made 5 passes overhead @ 300ft or less! You can feel the props form that monster with every pass!

Julie Clark was amazing. It was my first time seeing her & I had tear in my eyes when she did her America tribute. Listening to her communicate to ATC & seeing her perform, it's no wonder she has the reputation she does. A class act & top tier performer all the way!

Sean D. Tucker doesn't look like he has a new plane! He flies the new one like he was born in the thing. I never get tired of seeing him perform.

Dusty & his A-10 put on an amazing demo today! I love watching him fly the Warthog, it's so graceful, yet intimidating at the same time. I can just imagine what that thing must look like in combat, it's a good thing I don't need to see it first hand! :lol:

The Blues looked better than I've ever seen them. I was so blown away at how tight they were & their timing was pretty much right on today. The sneak had people jumping from the East to the West Bath House! I love the new tunes & can't wait to see them again tomorrow & later on this summer.


I know the lineup was a little light on the Burners this year but I'm very impressed at how this show has grown over the years. It's extremely well organized & Wayne Boggs does a fantastic job at keeping the action going as well as keeping the show on time. Rob Reider also does a great job (as always). He kept the flow going so there was never really a lull in the action, even when there were no planes in the airshow box. He also has quite the singing voice as was heard during the opening National Anthem.

Great day today & with temps in the high 80's tomorrow, looking for another!

See you on the beach!

[Fighting_falcon_51]

It was canceled due to lack of ramp space. Also it was a c-130 from the 106th that probably had extra gas and flew by.

Great Review Big Tim, I concur!

For me...
Got a Late Start (w/Teenage Daughter and her Friend) and Was on the RM Causeway during the CF-18.
My Buddy Said he was not impressed with CF-18, but then again he Compares everything to The F-22 Raptor Demo from 2 years Ago, Which sets the Bar Very High.The Low show Explains why he was not impressed. Hopefully with Blue Skies in the Forecast for Sunday, will make it better Chance for a CF-18 High Show.

Weather was Windy At times and the Sun did Eventually break through in time for Angels to do a High Show, as Rob Explained to crowd.

In My Opinion... Not the Best Day for photos.
I had Been Toying with a Friends Canon 20D 18-250mm for the First time.
Reviewing the 370 I took... Even my shots away from the Glare Still did not cut through the lingering Haze. I Spent most time on the Board walk Between East Bathhouse and Water Tower, Just a Bit Left of Show Center under a Boardwalk Canopy. After Reading here and seeing the High Speed Pass photos From FRI, Went down to The Water for the Blues.
All I can Say is WOW. :o :o :o I was about 10' from the water's edge for That # 5 High speed Deck Pass and it Was My Highlight of Day. It had to be less than 100' over the Deck.

I may just go early to beach on Sunday to Catch what I missed today and leave after CF-18. I want to Get to FRG for Departures & Returns. Wishing For Bluer Skies...

I was actually chatting with the folks from the CF-18 demo at the announcers stand after the show today.

They were EXTREMELY disappointed to have low ceilings again today. Their low show is basically a series of flyby's which is what we saw today.

Tell your friend to wait & pass judgment on them after tomorrow when Boozer will have clear skies to do his thing.

I have the energy just not the patience to sit in that traffic. My wife was there at 8 this morning with friends
walking on the boardwalk and she called me about 30 minutes ago and said traffic was crazed. They drove out
east to Robert Moses to go north.
Today is an FRG experience day for me. 8)

[gettysburgerrn]

Awesome pics- when do the blue angels leave?

ken

[Matt Molnar]

Heard state troopers closed the roads to Jones Beach at 10:45 this morning because the lots were already full. :shock:

[Fighting_falcon_51]

They were still turning people away from the beach after the show ended!

[wunaladreamin]

Great work everyone! Also, please let me say to Kenneth that you did some awesome work with the information updates. Great job kid! I'll be in touch!

[Christina]

And the blues are gone. They took off around 4:45 and number 7, besides media flights, had the most amazing take off! I wish I was using my video camera!

[NYC787]

Well it was mixed day. I headed out to Jones Beach at 10:45 this morning only to see the electronic signs say that the Lots were full and that the Beach was closed. They shut down the Meadowbrook and Exit M9 I tried to get in both at the Wantagh and the Meadowbrook but no can do. It's incredible that the Beach got so packed this year. I never belived it could get so filled so fast. Next year we're leaving at 9 AM to get tto the beach for the show.

Anyway we salvaged part of the day by going to FRG and saw the Blues leave at 1:45. Got some pics but had to take pics through the fence. Outstanding departures from the Blues, Fat Albert, the A-10 and the CF-18. :borat:

I can't wait to see what everyone else got!

[Gerard]

Wow I cant believe its over. Just a busy 3 days with the Air Show/MAGDT/FRG action.
Todays weather was incredible with bright sun and warm temps. I arrived a little after 11 and
hunkered down in the lot by Dave & Busters off 1-9. The Warbirds were using 1-9 while everyone
else was using 1. Around 12 I walked up to the fence line to see if the A-10 was getting ready to go
up and they were AND so was the back-up CF-18!!! They taxied down to 1 and I moved back to the lot
to have a better look. The A-10 went out first coming off the deck low. THEN!!!! the CF-18 also came
off 1 LOW AND FAST and roared right past us!! That was amazing and set off the car alarm next to me!!
I then went to the other side for the Blues departure. The C-130 used 3-2 and headed out and the
Blues used 1-4. When they came back both used 3-2 to land.
After that I went back to the fence by 1-9 and saw to my delight that the two F-18s were prepping to
head out. I went back to my car to cool off in the A/C and on departure I heard them give the F-18s
3-2 to depart. Well I departed also and headed over to the lot by the movie theater and went up to the
fence by 1-4 and got a real nice view of their departure!!!
From there I went to the Terminal to get an idea on when the Blues would depart. Given an ETD so I went
back into my car and drove over to the theater lot thinking they would use 3-2. Uh oh the Blues decided to use 1-4 so I sped out and arrived just in time by the fence to see them leave. Very cool and yes Christina # 7 did a very nice departure!!!! The C-130 rolled to 3-2 and had to wait about 20 minutes before they were cleared to go.
A wild 3 days but just so much fun. Now tonite I'll re-introduce myself to my family :) have a few adult
beverages and watch some TV!!
Great pictures, info and reporting by everyone here!! That really helped the whole weekend experience!!!

Post Show Notes & Review

AAM Warbirds/B-17 Yankee Lady/Warbirds Over Long Island: They really did an excellent performance this year. It was great to see so many vintage warbirds up at the same time.

Skytypers: As always they did an excellent job in their SNJ's. They even changed it up a bit this year!

Bill Kearns: He didn't fly today :(

USCG HU-25: It was nice to have something unique and it was the first time the USCG has demonstrated at the Jones Beach Airshow!

Ed Hamill: He didn't fly last year due to engine issues but he came back this year better than ever!

Julie Clark: Julie Clark really put on a show and honored the service men and women of America. You must really love your country to fly and hold the American flag at the same time!

Team Oracle: Arguably the most exciting 15 minutes of the show. Sean is a great guy and he never fails to put on a performance to get the crowd going!

Chuck Aaron: Another very unique performer. I still can't believe he can do that with a helicopter!

Red Bull Airforce: The jumpers were crazy fast and kept the crowd going! A+

Red Bull Edge: He did some crazy action packed maneuvers can't wait to see him next month!

John Klatt: Another performer that didn't come last year that I was excited to see. Boy can he fly!

Matt Chapman: He is one of my personal favorites. He really sets the airshow atmosphere and always has a great performance.

David Windmiller: Its always great to have a local show his passion for aviation, and David did just that. His performance is unbelievable I wish he could fly more shows!

106th ANG: The 106th Rescue Wing never fails to show the full capability of the Air National Guard. They were great this year!

US Army Golden Knights: I still don't know how these guys have the guts to jump out of a plane! Great performance.

CF-18: The CF-18 demo was a very unique one and was different from the normal USN F-18 demo. It was great!

A-10 Demo Boy can Dusty fly that hog! The performance was incredible!

Blue Angels: They were just amazing this year! And they never fail to scare me during those sneak passes!

[Johnathaneric]

I must say, I LOVE an Airshow weekend on Long Island..... I did the practice show on Friday, hung out with Moose and John K.

Saturday - was very iffy day due to overcast and threat of rain, So after I picked up my New lens (Canon 100-400mm L) went to FRG and stayed the whole day.

Saturday night - had a blast at American Airpower Museum for Night Under the Stars 2010 event.... It was great to meet new faces and old ones too..... We did stop shooting for 20 minutes due to rain around 10pm and than shoot again.... Have to thank the people at American Airpower Museum and Fred Miller for setting this up for us....

Sunday - Left house at 800am for the Airshow at Jones Beach and took Ocean Prkway, 4 miles from the Jones Beach Watertower it was all backed up and had Lot 4 closed already at 915am. I got into lot 3 and walked out onto the beach..... Holly man, I never seen a crowed of people this large in a couple of years..... Now I am a burnt lobster and uploading my shots from today..... Glad I was at the beach Sunday and had a BLAST....

[Johnathaneric]

Update: News 12 just reported that there where over 236,000 people at the show Sunday.... A new record for the airshow.....

[Gerard]

Julie Clark: Julie Clark really put on a show and honored the service men and women of America. You must really love your country to fly and hold the American flag at the same time!

When Julie was getting ready to leave the controller in the Tower asked "Arent you the lady I saw flying upside down yesterday"?
And he also commented about holding the flag while flying. She said its probably the hardest part of her routine!!
She did do a great job all around!!

Just a few from me today. Had a guest with me so didn't do too much shooting. Also had a different perspective today, was down toward the West Bath House.

Hope you like them.

Man...that's a low pass. I'd love to see one that low!

[Big Tim #70]

Wow!

What a weekend!

This is by far my favorite show of the season, it's just too bad that it's my first one every year!

I'm working on the photo's but the sun beat the crap out of an amature like me. Any tips or advice is more than welcome!

Stay tuned...

Ditto on "Amazing". I especially love the hard shadow on the deck for the last one.

Yes the guy in the tower seemed very impressed with her. Girl power lol

I was parked just coming around the turn where the Hot Dog guy usually hangs out.
But Hi anyway. :lol:

Wonderful shots everybody, some are just spectacular. Here is just about my favorite from the show, and yes it is of the high speed pass. And to Lieutenant Commander Frank Weisser if we ever meet the first two rounds are on me!

No, thank you. Simply beautiful as is your portfolio. The crazy angles you get are insane. Its amazing how crystal clear your shots are and also how blue the sky is. Very inspiring. Did you take most of these in the morning hours?

Nice shots everyone! I brought the family to the show on Sunday and what a beautiful day it was and a great show. However, there was one thing that almost made me decide never to come to another show at Jones ever again. We left Deer Park at 0800 and made good time to the toll booths on the Wantagh. I'd say we hit the traffic on the Wantagh for the booths just past the outer bridge. It was 0840 and it took us 15 mins tops to get thru the booths and get to lot 4 and parked. Thats not bad. Now normally thats it for the delays. At least in the past 6 years I have attended. We walked from the back of lot 4 to the underpass. Now in years past its a quick walk and in no time your thru security and on the board walk. Well we got to the underpass and came to a screeching halt. Mobs of people crammed together in that tunnel. It took ONE HOUR of standing in line to get thru security. We got to the boardwalk at 1000 when the flag jump happened and still had to find our spot on the beach.

This was ridiculous and never happened before. In years past the checkpoints were mostly for the coolers to check for alcohol. Apparently this year was like trying to get on to an AFB (why I don't go to free AFB shows) and every single bag was checked with only two lanes no less. That was unacceptable. I think they took the hint eventually and started giving a cursory look at the bags and just opened the coolers. My friend Eric who arrived an hour after us ended up in lot 3 further west and said he didn't hit this kind of delay when he entered by the west bathhouse. We'll try that next year.

I had my Pro-97 scanner with me this year and heard all the action including airboss. I happend to catch something maybe someone heard about? I picked up a mayday call on the freq used by the 106th. One of their crewmen was injured in a fall and suffered head trauma. On a later call I heard they needed an HH60 for extraction. Has anyone heard about this?

For Sunday I entered by the West Bath house and to my surprise, no checkpoints of any kind. Walked right onto the beach.

For Sunday I entered by the West Bath house and to my surprise, no checkpoints of any kind. Walked right onto the beach.

I believe I walked pass the security check point before 8:30am. I parked at the field 4. I wasn't checked, and so as many people before me. All I had was my backpack. Everything else was visible, monopod, beach chair, my 500L F4 IS and 1dmarkIII.

[Greg_NY]

No, thank you. Simply beautiful as is your portfolio. The crazy angles you get are insane. Its amazing how crystal clear your shots are and also how blue the sky is. Very inspiring. Did you take most of these in the morning hours?


George

Thanks George, These photos were taken throughout the day Sunday. I did move to three different locations to get the best vantage points.

Isaac

[fk6065]

They have three checkpoints to access the boardwalk near "show center" The one coming up the walkway from field four. I will admit I never heard of that much of a delay before and I have used that way in a few times.

The checkpoint on the boardwalk entering the area from the west side had 4 stations and no line.

If you want to avoid checkpoints all together park in any lot other than field four and enter the beach before one of the other two boardwalk checkpoints and just walk over the sand to where you want to sit.

There were a lot of people Sunday, 236,000 so it was crowded.

But it took me 10 minutes to get out of field three and hit no traffic on the Meadowbrok leaving at 3:30PM. Ironically they still had the southbound lanes closed.

What set up do you use? I have to say your shots are some of the clearest, sharpest shots I have ever seen

[gettysburgerrn]

Really nice pics Isaac- especially of the A-10 - very impressive stuff indeed. I am so bummed that I missed the A-10s take off yesterday (I showed up at like 10:55 and someone had told me they had taken off a short time earlier....

Ken

[moose135]

Ken, they returned a short time later - they were doing a fly over of the Intrepid for Memorial Day. They are departing for home this morning.

[Greg_NY]

Thanks Ken and Christina!

Christina, I am using a Canon 50D with the Canon 100-400L lens.

[Derf]

Great stuff everyone... I will have to take a lot more time to go thru everything allot better after I get done editing. I am sorting out the shots I want to use and I am up to 1100 from the start until Fat Albert returned on Saturday!!! UGH, I guess I am going to have to remove about 75% of the ones I want to keep!

Please keep in mind that is not including the 2 Sean Tucker flights and 1 T-6 flight with Paul Farber....with those three flights I think I have 2000 I want to keep!

This is going to be a LONG WEEK of editing. To tired to continue now...Back to sorting early tomorrow.

Thank you to all who made this a memorable experience. I had the weekend of a lifetime and still I have not landed! :lol:

Brilliant shots everyone!

I was away from Saturday AM onward but you guys made it like I never left!


As I headed north on Wellwood from my gym to the office, I saw the A10s depart, taking a long arc eastward and then arcing back west over FRG/Melville. Its great seeing them at a distance sometimes, in the open sky.


So whats news? Coney Island?!! :borat:


THanks to Fred, Moose, Eric, Tom and everyone for sharing the pics and making this such a good thread.
Sorry I was unable to meet all of you, but one day!

And I am on VACAY!!!!! :D :D

[Chris S]

[Fighting_falcon_51]

Well its the most depressing time of year :( The Jones Beach Airshow and all the festivities around it have ended. While I tried to keep everyone informed, I ran into some personal issues that held me back but I hope you guys made use of what I posted and I'm ready for next year! Also it was nice meeting up with you guys and seeing some new and familiar faces. I hope to see you guys attend the Red Bull Air Race, The Atlantic City Airshow, Cony Island, The Grand Old Airshow and all the other air events in the area! And don't worry Jones Beach is only 365 days away ;)

Until next time,
--Kenneth


By the way the static webpage is uploaded and the Steve's Airshow World (http://www.stevesairshow.com/) teaser is embedded in this thread.

The narration audio will be up late Friday afternoon.
