Chris, thanks for the detailed itinerary!
Thoughts about the show today? We have a dense fog advisory until noon and then a decent chance of rain / thunderstorms from 11-3pm. Not sure it’s worth the hassle when tomorrow is supposed to be picture perfect.
Seems like groundhogs day. Not looking good at all.
Well they announced on Facebook that the show will be going on but performing will be at pilot discretion. Expect a shortened show with thunderstorms in the area around 2. It is not unlikely that the Blues will fly earlier because of this because the weather will be at a marginal but within limits between 11ish and 2ish.
I feel like it’s not even worth the debate right now. It’s not like we are picking between two bad days. Tomorrow is supposed to be ideal, but it’ll be packed!
Agreed tomorrow will be better but there will be sooooo many people there as compared to today. Let's hope the ceiling lifts a little today and we can get a full show in.Quote:

A jet just flew over my house in West Babylon couldn’t get out in time to see but must have taken off from Republic?!
Looking at ADSB exchange it might be the Growlers.
Will this be the show order for tomorrow too?Quote:

Anyone at the beach? Any updates?
Looking at Flightradar24 some helicopters just flew to it, the UH-1 and a bell 407
They appeared to land at the theater parking lotQuote:

I live near isp and haven’t heard anything at all.Quote:

Anyone know if there’s still open parking at Jones? Thinking about going there now to catch the Blues! Do we know if they’re going?
They just announced the rest of the show is cancelled due to severe weather expected in 40 minutes...should have bumped the skytypers for the blue angelsQuote:

Yes, the 2 Growlers arrived around 10:20. The first one flew over RWY 14 at about 300-400 ft. before it disappeared back into the cloudsQuote:

They'll be on display over at the American Airpower Museum for the weekend and should be departing on Tuesday morning sometime.
Just a reminder, the Growlers will NOT be flying in the air show. It was arranged by one of the Growler pilots who grew up on Long Island.
Not sure, but it will probably be pretty close to what the schedule will be for Sunday especially with the better weather forecast.Quote:

If I do happen to see another schedule for Sunday I'll post it here.
Warbirds did some flying at the museum today and was able to see the F-35s fly just north of Republic on their way back to MacArthur. Also does anyone know what planes will be flying in the heritage and legacy flights?
Why can't the F-22s & F-35s fly past KFRG on their way back to ISP? It's not like it's out of their way!!

I think Andrew McKenna will be flying his P-51 in the Heritage flight tomorrow with the F-22,Quote:

And I agree, I don't see why the single ship military demo jets can't give FRG a flyby on their way back to ISP.
At least the F-35Cs made an effort to pass just north of FRG today through the broken clouds!
Nice VAPOR !!!Quote:

Sure is! Some clouds are rolling in but they seem to be high. Anyone know the ceiling??Quote:

F-35s wrapping up. Guess the schedule changed a bit
Didn't even hear them take off/landQuote:

Does anyone know when the F22 and F35's will be leaving Islip? And when the Blue Angels and Growlers are leaving Farmingdale?
