Likely only one week - word I'm hearing is they will arrive FRG on Monday, following the Andrews AFB show, fly the Hudson stuff during that week, then Jones Beach on the weekend. USNA graduation is...
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...
It was confirmed today that the terminal will be a lonely place on Memorial Day weekend. All three visiting bombers will be on the AAM ramp, along with all other FRG-based air show aircraft. They...
Patience, Grasshopper...it will happen before you know it. Logistics brought her here early.
You never know what it might be, but whatever it is, it will certainly be worth watching for...
Speaking to someone today, it was mentioned "Fifi doesn't usually travel alone..." Could the CAF bring their B-24 along for the air show? They don't have a 2011 schedule for either aircraft posted...
No news yet, Chris, but look for a new addition to the museum...some "heavy iron"...to be dedicated during their Veteran's Day ceremonies on November 11.
They were supposed to send a Growler a year or two ago, but it was a rainy day, and they cancelled. Don't want to get those nice little airplanes wet, now, do we? :wink:
According to the story on Newsday.com, the airplane came down near on Carmens Road near Conklin Avenue. Carmens Road is the first street west of Rt. 110 off Conklin. From the photo, it looks like it...
Word around the old aerodrome is that a Grumman E-2 Hawkeye will be in town this week. Scheduled to arrive Friday morning, October22, staying until Saturday afternoon/evening, as part of Grumman...
Just don't go there now to take pictures, you will be treated like a terrorist...
(oops, did I say that out loud?)
Patience, Grasshopper, patience. All will be revealed in time...
Word out of the Great White North is they hope to arrive with the Lancaster around 11am Saturday. That is Canadian Time, so YMMV.
Assuming Earl blows on through as forecast, the plan is to kick off the weekend activities with the arrival of the Lanc and Spits on Saturday at Noon. The ceremonies planned for Friday with Battle of...
Friday's schedule of events at the AAM have been canceled due to the incoming storm. Remainder of weekend activities should go on as planned. Sorry folks...
They are still finalizing sponsorship for it, but the AAM has announced that the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum's Lancaster is scheduled to attend the Labor Day weekend festivities! That may, or...
All the F-4s were called the Phantom II - the original "Phantom" name was used on an earlier McDonnell fighter, the McDonnell F1H, the Navy's first operational jet....
On their Facebook page, the AAM is reporting a second Spitfire will be at the museum for Labor Day weekend. :cool:
I warned you - too much bug spray! :tongue:
Patience, Grasshopper, patience...
Phred is right - if you miss Labor Day weekend at the museum, you will be sorry you did. Can't say what, but you won't be disappointed.
And don't use too much bug spray this weekend, or you will...
Been mentioned before, but heard officially that the Thunderbirds will be flying out of JFK for the show. There will be some activity at FRG in connection with the Coney Island show, but haven't...
Expect a C-130 bringing gear into FRG sometime on Thursday, 20 May. Haven't heard any times yet, but they will be parking at or near the main terminal while they unload. Arresting gear goes in...
Got some clarification on some earlier rumors. There will not be a Spitfire on Memorial Day weekend - it will be at the museum on Labor Day weekend, part of activities marking the 70th anniversary...
