2025 FourLeaf Air Show at Jones Beach - May 24th and 25th

[Innes]

FYI - Good news, they were installing the Temporary Arresting Gear System on RWY 14/32 this morning.

I know someone there putting it in he’s saying it’s for the thunderbirds. I think he has bad information but can you confirm.

Super Hornets and Growlers are staging out of Republic likely installed for them. Thunderbirds are out of ISP with F-35s.

Great news, according to Doc's website, they were just added to the Jones Beach Show lineup and will
fly with the other warbirds from the American Airpower Museum based at Republic Airport.

Very exciting news with the early Thunderbird arrival (with more to arrive tomorrow) and Doc's landing at AAM. It's a nice changeup for the Thunderbirds since in years past they often missed their Thursday TFR over the beach and only did circle and arrivals on Friday morning before practice. It'll also be a treat watching Doc fly in the show.

I read further up that there is a TFR for tomorrow (tuesday) from 12-1. Does anyone know if they will be going to ISP prior to possibly doing their circles or will they do their circles prior to going to ISP?

Since they're only flying from McGuire they'll most likely do their circles and arrival at Jones Beach between 12 - 1PM before they land at ISP.
T-Bird #8 did several circles and passes at Jones Beach yesterday before landing at ISP.

Is there currently anything parked at FRG worth taking my 2 year old to see this evening? I know the thunderbirds are at ISP, just wondering if they parked Doc or any other warbirds somewhere visible or if they are all in a hangar?

Went to he AAM this afternoon after going to the beach to see the T-Birds fly and saw Doc do an engine run up that was very cool to see from the parking lot through the fence.
This is how they have Doc positioned on the tarmac as of today...

My last Jones Beach air show was in 2018. I caught the T'birds a long time ago at Republic, but I lost all my digital files from that time. Has MacArthur become more accommodating? Is there a viewing area at MacArthur to watch the Thunderbirds and Lightnings?

I missed the blue angles at frg. Last one I went was 2018 also I believe. Sad they’re not here this year. The viewing area from the parking lot was awesome. Where in ISP are the t birds parked at? Would like to view the pre flight ritual if possible.

They're usually parked behind the North American Hangar on the West side of the field.
FYI - one of my buddies tried to go over there yesterday for the T-Birds arrival and unfortunately he said it wasn't worth the trip out there
because the Suffolk County Police and NY State Troopers were all over the place telling people to move on so good luck if you go out there !!
