    Any chance the F-35s/Growlers will do circles during the TFR at 5 if the T-Birds are late?

    Thunderbirds did a nice job with their circles down at the beach at 5:00, and you couldn't have asked for better weather !!
    BTW, on my way out to the parking lot just after 6:00 I saw 2 Growlers fly over the Jones Beach Tower that were heading to ISP.

    Apparently the 2 static Growlers due into FRG for the AAM have been delayed according to this post on their FB page:

    Excited to Welcome back the United States Navy EA-18G Growlers to the American Airpower Museum this Memorial Day Weekend!
    They will be on static display Saturday May 27th until their departure on Monday 29 May. Arrival will be late Friday evening.
    Be advised that the museum will be closed for the day by the time they arrive.
    They will depart during Monday's Flight Operations during normal business hours.

    Not sure, but I did notice a trail of smoke/fuel coming from the exhaust when he was starting to transition into the hover.

    Thunderbirds Diamond practice from 10:10 to 10:50
    Growlers Demo around 11:40
    F-35B Demo around 12:15 - 12:30 (Unfortunately it had to stop it's demo just before the hovering part for some mechanical issues and headed back to ISP.
    Thunderbirds Practice Demo just after 2:00.

    Growlers did a break to land around 7:20 tonight at FRG on RWY 32. Unfortunately there was some last minute
    RWY changes by the Control Tower that really messed things up trying get any decent shots of it in the golden light!
