Just getting back from the museum. Saw one of the Rhino's come in. One of the volunteers told me that the rest of the planes won't be coming in until tomorrow

Obviously Hudson River photo runs didn’t happen today. Any word on when they will happen tomorrow? Working downtown and up pretty high so bringing my camera and hoping they have transponders on.
I'm curious about the photo runs too. I'm also wondering if there will be any early flights down to the beach prior to practice at 10am due to Thursday's cancellations. I tend to think not since there was an opportunity for circle and arrivals/practice on Tuesday, but you never know if they'll do an extra recon flight.
Not sure about their photo flights, but I heard the T-Birds and Super Hornet Demo will be flying twice at the beach today and the F-35B and Growlers might be flying twice also!Originally Posted by Fighting Falcon
Update: cloud cover is currently too low to fly. They are waiting for it to increase to 1500ft.
Appreciate the update!
Thank you!
Looks like a jet is flying around over the beach on ADSB. Skeptical of the weather so I don't think I'll make the trip today, but hopefully it will stay clear enough for the acts to get their flights in today.
I hear 'em
The F35 has been doing a weather recon flight but the cloud cover is still too low for the demos. It’s right around 900ft right now and 1500ft are needed.
I’m my office downtown. It’s rained lightly on and off. Clouds around 1200/1300 feet or so maybe? Almost nothing flying at all. Occasional helicopter traffic and a sea plane has loitered around a bit. Reached out to the four leaf Airshow Instagram acct and they said they didn’t have any updates re any photo flights at all.
Thanks so much!
For the folks who are monitoring the beach, FRG or Islip, if it looks like photo missions might be happening if you could post it here I’d appreciate it. Keeping an eye out while I’m working.
F35s have returned to the beach. Some have reported that they are visible through the cloud cover.
Was looking at a adsb and the F-35 just landed. Did some kind of practice and it was doing many passes with some down to 600'
