Used call sign Tiger One. Made one pass over the cemetery and then a pass and left break over the airport and landed on 14. Parked behind Sheltaire

Any idea yet how long it will be here for?
Sounds like it's a Hawkeye from VAW-125 "Tiger Tails".
Fred , since it was "Tiger One", was it VAW-125's CAG Bird by chance ?
Fred, it was nice talking with you again. Here are a few images from it's arrival:
NICE prop blur Joe, especially on the last 2 shots!!
Thanks for posting them and confirming it's from VAW-125.
BTW, Did you find out when it's departing ?
Joe good to see you too. Nice shots. Will post some of mine later. Crew made it easy with the passes.
Chris it is from VAW-125 but it has LCMDR and LT markings so I don't think it is the CAG.
Funny thing after they made the there 2nd pass the tower asked , "Tiger 1 what are your intentions?". To which they answered, "To land?". Sounded like the tower had no idea that they were coming in.
They are parked behind Sheltaire tough to get a good look wit all the business jets. Nobody seemed to know when they are leaving

yeah, they couldnt have put this in a worse spot for spotters (could be intentional). Usually Fred or someone "in the know" gives us a heads up, but maybe folks at the airport were left out of the loop on this one

E-2 taxiing

BTW, Great job by the Metlife Blimp and the Golf Channel broadcasting the whole takeoff
of the E-2 at FRG a few minutes ago just before they went to a TV break !!
I wish I could have recorded it !!
Edit:
I just noticed the Golf Channel might be replaying it's Golf coverage from this afternoon
from 8:30 - 12:30 tonight, and if so keep an eye out for the E-2 takeoff just after midnight.

Hopefully we will catch Snoopy One on the mast for the little guy. He's going to be mad about missing the E-2 but he's more of a VAW 123 guy (he calls all E2's Screwtops)
