The markings represent a P-51 flown in Europe by Lt. (later Capt.) Noble Peterson, of New England, North Dakota. His crew chief for the aircraft was Long Island native Robert Coleman. Mr. Coleman was among those in attendance Wednesday.

Great information! Thanks
It's hockey season! Miami Air 734 departing with the Florida Panthers, following Saturday night's game against the Islanders. Around 5pm, a Delta A319 arrived with the Minnesota Wild for Monday afternoon's game. It's parked at Atlantic, and should go out after the game.

Wow, they loaded that 737 super tail heavy... Look at the MAC trim setting.... Bet she floated off the runway
Was up this afternoon with Paul in his T-6 as part of a museum flyover (with the B-25 and another T-6) at a Columbus Day parade in Connecticut.

Unfortunately, we couldn't do any good air-to-air work, but here are a couple that I tried...

Nice shot Moose. Matt and I enjoyed meeting you on the fence line. There is a good chance you will see us again over there. The little guy loves the loud ones
Thanks, John! It was a pleasure to meet you as well.
Here's the Delta A319 departing on Monday with the Minnesota Wild.

While I was hanging out, Dave Windmiller departed for a quick flight. He headed out on Rwy 19 at Bravo 3, and was airborne in about 50 feet...

I saw something I've never noticed before on Dave's airplane - at the top of the rudder, in the blue portion, are the words "In Memory of Dad Flight 800". Dave's father Ruben was a passenger lost on TWA Flight 800.
Rumors of an EA6-B Prowler coming into Republic sometime on Friday 10-21.............................
More than a rumor - the AAM has posted it on their Facebook page. It is due in around 11am (although that time is flexible) Just like the F-14 a few years back, this aircraft is being retired, and will eventually end up at the Bethpage plant. It will remain at the museum until the site is ready for it.
Thanks Moose
Is it going to be out and visible to people visiting the museum? Or are they going to have it covered and tucked away until its ready to go to Bethpage?
It will have to go through a de-mil process, so access may be limited for a short time, but once that is done, it should be on display for visitors to see.
Good to know. Thanks Moose.
Fly over Grumman at 11:30 and then over to FRG
It arrived about 12:07. 2 fly-by's, followed by a high speed pass, then a touch and go, one more high speed pass, and then landing. It didnt head over to the AAM right away though. Not sure where it went.
Yep, thats about right. Its been buzzing overhead and I caught a glimpse through our skylight.
Love that its here to stay. I liked the F14, but the Ea6 and A6s, they are the ugly ducklings that I love.
Looked great and was wonderful that it did a few passes.

So here's the deal, boys and girls...sometime Sunday (afternoon or into the evening) a large, four-engined jet, owned by a well known Sweathog, will be arriving at FRG. It will have its vintage red and white paint scheme temporarily covered with a vintage blue and white scheme. It should be at the airport all week, while a bunch of people run around, point cameras at it, and recite dialogue. If you look closely, the airport might have a strong resemblance to Cuba from a few months ago... :tongue:
Holy crap is that suggestive. I would like to end the conversation here is this info is not for public release. Any discussions should not be on a public forum. Sorry to be the bad guy
I understand but I am in the know and it is suppose to be hush hush.. I needed to state that and I am glad that the person posting did not know more or post what he knew. From being how round about the statement was I do believe he did know more but do not want this talked about in an open forum as it is not for public release... What I want and what happens are obviously two different things but I had to speak up as I want to ask politely for those in the know to not release private information.
I've heard this from multiple sources, some of them are actual officials in various respects, and have been told it is not exactly a secret. I've gotta be honest, I have no intention of hiding it. How often do people get to see a Pan Am 707 in the air?
Where?
Fred you do a lot for us but I have learned it's better to not even give out the info if it is sensitive. I took a lot of heat from spotters in the LA area because I only gave a 30 min heads up about 388LS but when it comes to people's jobs I err on the side of caution. People in this hobby have proven they won't keep it private and feel it's their right so only way to be sure is to keep it to yourself. I don't know how sensitive your source is but some of mine could lose their jobs so discretion is 100%.
I will say I don't know who Phantom is but once you post it in a public forum you can't ask for it to be private. The cat is basically out of the bag.
Sounds like the info isn't that sensitive then. Then again if it was I doubt it would find it's way on the net. Like I said you have to know your sources. As for seeing a PA 707 in person, it's pretty rare sight to see an airborne Tristar too but you don't see me broadcasting it if I get a heads up. Remember to think of the big picture and not just yourself. Even though it's a longshot, people's jobs could be in jeapordy if you get a VIP that is anal about that stuff.Quote:

THere was a post on this board earlier this week alluding to a possible 707 coming to FRG with a link to the "Vintage Warbirds" website Forum. People involved in the "Project" it is being used for were inquiring where they could get one quickly for the shoot. There was plenty of discussion about airworthy 707s and the one that is coming in tomorrow was talked about though
at the time i read it that one was nNOT confirmed. Not sure which Thread I saw it on but it was on this board.
I'll side with Phil on this one. This was no big secret. I read about a possible 707 visit to FRG for this coming sunday about a week and a half ago.
A guy who ABC hired to arrange the 707 posted detailed questions and plans on another site. It's not a secret at all.
As Sgt. Schultz (from Hogans Hero's) would say "I know nothing!"
I would like to clarify a few things...the person who posted on the other site was saying that it was not JT's 707, and there is lots of info that can not be released. Those that are talking should not be because they do not want tons of people hanging around when they are shooting. While it is not as quiet as when the DC-7 came because they were trying to make it a show..... they really do not want people all over the place.
And Phil, YOU WILL NEVER SEE A PAN AM 707 in the air.....
I wish I could share details....
