Seems odd that they would take off from Republic and refuel at Islip
Didn't even hear them take off/land
One of them just left
They still have the tfr, maybe they are going up if there's a window for them with the weather
Unfortunately practice is canceled today due to weather
The F-35s came in a little around 5:40
Last time they were here and I saw them take off the went staggered one after the other, was cool seeing the diamond again. And the Supers are way louder than the legacy hornet
Drove by where the sky typers are parked and pilots were around/ in their planes in flight suits.
Pretty sure in years past it was for the duration of the show. Would have to imagine not only for safety of all performers but in case schedule had to be adjusted. I know Thursday circle and arrivals...
Good to hear about the Sky Typers. Not sure when they became sponsored by Geico but growing up going to see them at Republic in the late 80 early 90s they were just the Sky Typers.
F-117 is retired but would have been cool. Agree that it's the same performers each year but I just consider us lucky to even have one. Actually there's less performers this year. Sean Tucker is no...
Must have went a little early, just heard them.
Any word on the C-17?
Only 6 left, 2 more had canopies up
They are getting ready to go
No longer showing Thunderbird1, stopped saying they were about 14 minutes out
Just drove by MacArthur going down Smithtown. Thunderbirds weren't there but they have 3 tents set up and a row of minivans next to where they usually park. They have tape up blocking the grass
Wow! That stinks, always loved seeing him (then them) tear up the beach. Was wondering why i couldn't find anything on him for this season.
No Sean Tucker this year? Don't recall a show without him!
They now confirmed Tuesday at noon for NYC area flyover. Someone posted a video on FB of 3 jets flying over long beach. Looked to possibly be one of the teams in formation. Anyone know if they are...
Hopefully the can get the doc visit that was postponed in at least at some point.
Had a feeling seeing that they were already canceled through the weekend before. Shame, would have liked to have seen one last legacy Hornet show. Looking forward to 2022.
Hate to be a downer but hard to see how this happens if we haven't peaked yet. Shame too as it's likely the last time they'll be hear in the legacy hornets
Just announced that this event has been postponed and will be rescheduled due to the current concerns surrounding the coronavirus.
B-29 Doc will be at AMM 5/29-31 and arriving on Thursday the 28th. Looks to be other warbirds as well.

Excited to have the A-10 back!
