On a related note, that particular bird was originally destined for Lehman Brothers,
Thus One Lima Bravo makes sense.
And tampons are a lucrative business. Nice.

Yeah, apparently they are. I think there could be more to it than meets the eye though. I just cant comprehend why they blacked all the windows out, made some other modifications to the faciluty and are putting a 24 hour guard on this airplane. It is just this jet too. The Falcon's are not so much secured. On another interesting note. I talked to TAG a few days ago about the plane and apparently it is already having SATCOM issues. Typical Gulfstream......
OK, What just too off from Republic about 5 minutes ago? Wasn't able to get outside in time, but it sounded like more than 1 that circled over Melville then headed back South.
Rob, that was an F/A18 that just rocketed off rwy14. Didn't see which squadron she was from but she was roaring!

Thanks Kenny! Ran out with the binoculars after he made the turn overhead, but couldn't catch him in the trees outbound.
Is that new hangar being built next to Talon theirs or someone else?
It is Talon's new hanger though I don't imagine it will have many new airplanes for a while. They have a problem getting anything but the BE400 and S76 into the air often.
On a second note. Look for a new hanger to possibly be going up shortly for Northeastern Aivation next to the old Summit hanger. The plans are being drawn at the moment.
ThanksQuote:

Would make sense, a 737 took off at that time but I doubt it was crazy loud.

That was Miami Air B737-400 (N753MA), took the Islanders to Atlanta.
FYI- I heard there's a pretty good chance Blue Angel #7 could be
visiting FRG sometime this week, but it all depends on the weather,
so for all you spotters near FRG keep a close eye out for it this week
and if you happen to see it arrive please alert us on here ASAP, OK !!! :wink:
It is due in just before noon tomorrow :borat:

No pics or info from the gang? I must say I'm surprised. :?Quote:

I stopped by while working so I didn't have my camera with me.
I will say that the takeoff was amazing. He plugged in the afterburners and threw a nice blew flame out the back end in the night sky. Awesome!
Chris S got it on video but he may not be able to get it on the net due to tech issues.

I'm not a "Photo Nazi" so they look fine to me. :)
Thanks.
Thanks for the pictures of BA # 7 they look good to me, wish I could have made it out there.
Saw an Air Canada at the back of Atlantic earlier having brought in the Montreal Canadiens for tonites game. Wonder if they will try to get out or have already decided to stay the evening? Rangers in Philly where storm started earlier and the announcers already said they arent going anywhere tonite.
Montreal (Air Canada) is still here in FRG.
Your info on the Rangers sounds accurate. :wink:
It took me a few minutes to get that insult. :)Quote:

Did they depart around 4PM? Though I heard "Canada 70 something" on tower around that time.
Heading for Atlanta.
Yep.Quote:

Decided to get out of the house for awhile and headed down to FRG. JUst as I arrived so did snow showers, some
heavy, along with a cold gusty wind. This didnt stop a number of jets departing and arriving. One of them was one
type I hadnt seen, a 1976 Lockheed JetSTAR II, N777AY. Even the controllers were asking what type of jet that was.
It was Dezer 1(written underneath the cockpit) from Team Dezer (written on the tail atop of the tail # and under
the DP logo.Plane shutdown, refueled and repositioned to the back of the Atlantic ramp.
NIIIIIIICCCEEEEEE! They have one of the most complex fuel systems I have ever seen in my life to operate. There are like 283474 diffrent tanks on that thing.
Just caught 3X Blackhawks overhead here in Melville traveling North presumably out of Republic.
