CitiField Fly-by

The military jets just past over my house. Anyone getting shots?

I didn't get any, a lot of cloud cover around my area, but I did saw 4 F-18s. :borat:

I heard them plug the burners. They were VMFA-251 Thunderbolts from MCAS Beufort.

Were they here before the flyby or did they fly in and then out?

See my post in the daily LGA visitors thread in the news section for more details.

Thanks. Wonder where they went for 45 minutes? Touring the area? :)

Hope they were doing something good, because they were about a minute late for the flyby.

I had a great angle to shoot them right over the CitiField sign had they done what I expected them to do. Unfortunately they didn't fly directly from centerfield, they came more from right-center, which was essentially right over my head and only visible to me for a split second before the Pepsi Porch blocked them. :(

it takes time to get set up for formation flight. they also need to get talking with the departure controllers and get tuned in with the person on the ground working thier timing. and yes, i'm sure they got a good view of NYC from thier perch. you also don't want to be late for something like this, meaning they were just burning circles in the sky waiting for the star spangled banner...

and the XO was flight lead. too bad no full color CAG colors though.

I'll post the video I took later. At Matt, said, it was very late, but still nice.

Very nice, didnt hear anything over here, but I didnt expect anything...

Phil, nice job with the flyover, you seemed to know right where to aim the camera and when, good catch.

Cheers

Thanks. Only from past flybys, I know they come from the west like that.

Was there a moment of silence in honor of Harry Kalas? I heard there was... but didn't believe it.

Leave it to the marines to screw up a flyover. :P

Kidding, of course.
