Please go to the south. I have off tomorrow and going to a BBQ now and would like to sleep late.
:lol: :lol:
Any words on the other departures? Are the Horsemen still around or have they already flown the coop?
EVERYONE IS THERE TO SEE THE SHERPA!
Even though the NYAS is over the AAM still has their little event, does anyone plan on attending?
Edit- They have a list of the planes that will attend.

I went to the AAM today and they made it nice, here is some info:
Golden Knights departed
Team Oracle departed
F/A-18 Demo departed
Thunderbirds #1-7 departed at 11AM and #8 departed later
A USAF C-17 from McGuire came as the Thunderbirds support aircraft
Various planes from the Warbirds over long island, AAM and the Yankee lady came, they were offering rides on the B-17
Republic Airport was having trouble with the air traffic and had to temporarily shut down
I dont know how accurate this is but I heard some of the A-10 East guys saying they will depart Tuesday at 10AM

The "trouble" they were having was the C-17 parked on Rwy 1/19 near the terminal loading the T-Birds' gear, and the Ops guys removing the temporary arresting cable on 14/32 after the last T-Bird departed, so neither runway was available for a short time. Rwy 14/32 was re-opened in about 10 minutes, and shortly after that, the C-17 departed on Rwy 1.Originally Posted by Fighting_falcon_51

When I arrived by the terminal at 10:30 one of the TBirds had already left. Six of the ships departed off of 1-4 with a break to the SW. One of them really kept it low on the deck before going up. Tbird 4 stayed until about 1:30 as they were letting people look at the jet. He left 1-4 also. Lots of the Warbirds flying today and that was pretty cool. Also cool was finally meeting John (Moose) after the TBirds left. It was funny as we both got caught short when the C-17 came in. He was told they wouldnt be in until 1:30 so while getting some food he spies them coming on final to 3-2. I was down by the movie theater on Conklin when I heard Thunderbird 1-4 on the scanner being cleared to 3-2. So I headed for the Terminal as they taxied in. They stopped just short of coming directly onto the Terminal tarmac, a crew member came out to talk with a TBird crew member then they turned and parked on Runway 1. They finally headed out off of Runway 1 at 2:35. That was really great seeing that big bird here at FRG.
Also soon after the Thunderbirds departed the two Rocket T-39s and the two Rocket T-45s also departed off of 3-2.
And the last I saw when I left both Hornets were still sitting at Sheltair and according to Moose the rumor was they
would depart tomorrow at 3PM.
And 1-4/3-2 wasnt closed that long as the crew expedited removing the cables though it did make some anxious moments for a few pilots who were caught short when the airport suddenly closed.
And finally kudos to my scanner. :lol: As I sit here it finally is beeping that the batteries need to be charged. I had it on yesterday for a good 7 hours straight and today 6 hours.
Plus when John finally gets a chance we are going to see some great photos from todays activities.
Looking at their schedule I guess they were heading out to the USAF academy for a Wed performance?
Graduation Ceremonies perhaps?

I guess they meant TODAY!!! :(
C 17 flew over our place at roughly 1330, low pass to the northeast.
And I, I took the path less traveled by
and that has made all the difference......yet...
I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

Sure it wasnt roughly 1430? The C-17 lifted off Runway 1 to the North at 1435Originally Posted by mirrodie
