The tail number was blocked out with black paint when I saw it but seeing a TwinStar at FRG involved in some type of Movie/TV
job and I know that Al Cerullo and 355AG is involved.[/quote]
The "GI Joe" Copter was just at Republic. Callsign was not 355AG, it was N355MH - registration comes back to Monmouth Helicopter Services in NJ.

Stopped by today on the bike and caught a few of our warbird friends having a bit of fun...

Tried playing with a different angle, but I think I would need to get closer to the planes for it to work better.

When I saw it a few weeks ago Al was using his ship 5AG (heard the call sign on Tower). Recently AG was back in its usual colors
and last Sunday I saw it flying past my house with the nose mounted Wescam camera.
I believe N355MH is a second ship that Al uses. IF you saw "Taking Pelham 1-2-3" 355MH was the ship used as the on camera
NYPD copter.

The Coast Guard payed us a visit in a HH-65 Dolphin today at 2:30PM (approx) and left at 3:18PM (approx)
Also a red and gold biz jet came today.
Unfortunately, I forgot my camera and my cell phone died :(

Finally got around to editing the shot. It's backlit, but it was the only angle I had:

Re: Today at Farmingdale 2008/2009
I do not work late anymore :(
I plan on going early Tuesday, I did get to fly on this bird a while back and that is what started my big round noisy oil leaking motor obsession. Here is an OLD pic with building 93 in the backround.

Watched them take off around 3:30. It was pretty cool after they unhooked the ship they walked it all the way over to Runway 3-2
before letting it go. It came right over my head and flew west along 109.

Re: Today at Farmingdale 2008/2009
I noticed them do the same when the Met Life blimp was in town - I hadn't seen it before that.

-
Re: Today at Farmingdale 2008/2009
I heard the schedule for Tuesday/Wednesday is for the B-17 to be doing flights in the morning (until 1-2pm) then will be on display from 2-5. I don't expect the museum to be open later than 5.

USCG helo 6598 came in from the NE last night around 11:20, landed Runway 1-9. I believe they were looking for fuel.
Are there services open late at Sheltair or Atlantic?

Re: Today at Farmingdale 2008/2009
I was listening to liveatc.net and another USCG helicopter came at 12AM I wonder what they are doing so late.

Mmmm, same guy that buzzed JFK recently?
Also with the high surf and riptides from Hurricane Bill maybe the CG moved some ships down here for faster on-call SAR.

Re: Today at Farmingdale 2008/2009
Another oldtimer visited FRG today. There was a 1947 Grumman G-73 Mallard parked by the Main Terminal this afternoon. The three man "crew" dressed casually in T-shirts, shorts and sandals chatted and joked with the two Fire-Rescue guys before they climbed aboard. They cranked up the engines and taxied down to 1-9 before heading out around 3:45. They were going towards Bridgeport.
I'll have pics up on Facebook later.

The Direct TV airship is back at FRG. I would guess for the Yankee game tomorrow night on ESPN. Game starts at 7 so maybe they'll launch 6PM or so?

Re: Today at Farmingdale 2008/2009
Saw her over midtown yesterday, heading downtown, approximately over 6th Ave. Seemed a bit low for that area. Managed to whip out a shot from my desk.

Re: Today at Farmingdale 2008/2009
I was coming back from the beach today and on Hempstead Tpk just east of 135 and decided to do a quick run by FRG. I saw Direct TV 1 north of me heading towards FRG about 3:40. He was moving pretty fast so I figured he would beat me in. Guess not. For whatever reason the ground crew was still at the hotel so DTV1 had to loiter north of FRG until they got there. Finally came in around 4:10 with a right break onto the numbers of 3-2. The crew grabbed the ropes and pulled it over to the mooring where it was hooked. By 5PM they were airborne again and I saw them passing by my house heading up to the Stadium.
John mentioned maybe they are also here for the US Open (starts Mon) or maybe the Giants-Jets game Sat night but with the approaching hurricane they might be heading out of town quickly.
