Who operates those Jetstreams? Are they for the Atlantic City Runs?
That was my gig back in the day. I worked at LI Airlines(aka Executive Airlines) from 93-95 and flew that route with the Twin Otters and Piper Navajo.

You mean the EMB-120 Brasilia? Yes, they do the AC run.Quote:

Great shots Fred!
Realy like that shot of that P-51 low on the deck, great panning.
Do you know when the first B-17 is supposed to go up tomorrow?
I'm gonna try to make it out there to see the early flight.
<Ended up stopping by for a little bit this afternoon as the sky cleared a little, ended up hanging around the terminal parking lot rather than the museum, and caught the Boys from Brookhaven doing their thing<
I was over by the Dave & Busters parking lot watching them at the same time as they did their low and fast fly-bys for the Museum. Today at TOBAY beach
they flew past a few times.
Here are a few from Monday:

Here is just one of many.... It looks like it just caught some flak
http://derf.smugmug.com/photos/369816467_WBiNj-L.jpg
Was off today and was over by FRG for a few minutes having just finished an errand and heading to another when I see this beat-up looking plane taxing over to the Sheltair ramp. It was the FAA Beech 300 N81. Earlier I guess it was them doing Flight Checks at JFK that I heard on my scanner. The plane is only 20 years old but lots of wear and tear on the frame including what looked like rust behind one of the props. Oh well, our govt dollars at work.
Then as I pull out of the lot N139H comes in from the east over the cemetary and heads over to the Bravo runup pad. 139H is an AgustaWestland AB139 from Honeywell out of NJ. Had seen pix of this copter but never live. Raced over to the Atlantic ramp where they had taxied in and dropped a passenger before taxing out to Bravo then out to the SW. Nice looking copter that kinda reminds me of a smaller version of the old Westland 30.
Funny, sometimes I go to FRG and spend an hour or more and see nothing. Today I'm there for about 20 minutes and get these two arrivals. Such is the life of a spotter. :D
That what N81 was??.. i thought it was an old Army or something.. i marshaled him in and was thinking how nasty that plane looked.. I mean i dont have much love for King Airs to begin with, but they could atleast wash it!..
On top of those 2 arrivals we had a Baron come in that was from the cover of Flying Magazing!!.. with all the bells and whistles that they always boast about. def an exciting day for arrivals.. well if your not working on them!

When I saw N81 making the turn onto the ramp I thought it was this plane back from the dead!!! :lol:
Not sure which is in worse shape!!!
While we were out catching the Memphis Belle depart, got a few shots of the T-28 that's over at D&K:

They held an "Aviation Career Day" at FRG on Thursday, I think it was a BOCES event, but they let anybody in to see the aircraft.

Moose,
Did you happen to catch which companies were there for the Career portion?
That certainly looks like one of Talon's Hawker's.Quote:

Was in Amityville this afternoon for my daughters soccer game and around 2:30 heard a copter to the south. Eventually sawQuote:
