Re: Today at Farmingdale 2008/2009
A couple of years ago, they removed the P-51 replica, and I got some shots:

Here's the "landing gear well":

Here's a look inside - you can see the metal framework, and the unfinished side of the fiberglass:

I'm sure after sitting out in the elements, with little or no care, they get beat up. It's not like they have a metal skin or much structure underneath.

Most of us who have spent any amount of time at FRG have seen this bad boy around the air patch (this is a shot from last summer). It's a 2008 Embraer EMB-135BJ. The N-number is - or at least was - N18BM. I recently found out what the BM stood for - Bernie Madoff. I found it now registered as N924AK, to the same Syosset-based charter company.

I find that military helos usually dont stay long as opposed to their fixed wing brethren.

Yeah they are usually there for a couple of hours to a day....When the Red Arrows came one of them had to stay there for a little bit because of engine failure.
Re: Today at Farmingdale 2008/2009
Stopped by today and the SkyTypers roared out off of 3-2. They were heading down to North Carolina. Couldnt hear the whole conversation between pilot and Tower as there was interference from Airport 2 on the freq.
Re: Today at Farmingdale 2008/2009
The Seymour-Johnson AFB show is this weekend, they are on the schedule of performers there.
Re: Today at Farmingdale 2008/2009
I heard the skytypers fly over also....
Do you have info on the performers that are supposed to come? I will do some research and try to find out.

Are you talking about the SJ show, or Jones Beach? The SJ show info is at http://www.wingsoverwayneairshow.com/ and all the info you could ever want about the Jones Beach show is available in the show thread here on NYCA.
