BTW, if anyone got any good vapor shots of the P-51 Mustang with the Bombers on Sunday morning down at the beach, please post them because that was a VERY rare sight to see and Chris Baranaskas would love to see them also !!:cool:

Well they were on the money with that. Around 9:50AM as I was walking to see my towns Memorial Day Parade I caught the F-18 just before they disappeared into the clouds.Quote:

Wow! That is spectacular John.

Amazing work sir!
Just checking in with a couple for now as I'm back to the grind of work and still recovering from the weekend.

PS John, that shot is SICK!!!
Monday, I was able to tour the cockpit of Fifi before the crowds showed up.
The two pilot stations, with the bombardier's seat in front.

As some of you may know, the Airpower Museum also has a significant armored division, including a Sherman tank, M8 Greyhound and M20 armored scout cars, and a British Ferret scout car. On Monday, I rode along on the "Armor Adventure" program - several visitors were joined by a dozen Airborne re-enactors on the Ferret, M8 and M20, all in WWII period uniform. We headed to the wooded area in the southeast part of the airport, known as Breslau Gardens from the community that had been there. Once there, the troops dismounted from the vehicles, and moved down the roads through the woods, as a patrol would have during WWII. To complete the scene, the P-51 and Corsair were making trips around the pattern, so it sounded like 1944 Europe.

My family and I had a great time at the beach on Sunday. What a relaxing day indeed. We got to the booths on the WP at 0915 and there were only 4-5 cars in each lane, wow! I then headed right to field 3 and found it empty and closed off, so we parked in 4. I don't know what happened last year, but this year we made it through the tunnel and security in minutes. Security saw us as a family and just waved us through and didn't search any bags..."your good, come'on.." Last year it took ONE HOUR to get through the tunnel and security, as they searched every bag. I also didn't see any machine gun toting police on the roof like last year, so what was the difference this year?? Was it because no demo team? The fact we got Bin Laden?? :confused: We then proceeded to our usual spot west of center (enter the beach at the Oracle tent) for the show. A lot of people but not packed in. We left the beach at 330pm and headed to the lot. NO traffic leaving the lots at all! Just a brief slow down on the WP when the lanes merged.
The show was well executed, the weather cleared beautiful, light winds (no sand blasting of camera or faces) low humidity. I shot HD video and will put some together and post. I did catch the P-51 making vapor which I have never seen before.
Pete
No vapor but what the heck.

Here are a few from Saturday at the beach. YES! The light was ugly and everything backlite as usual, but with some extreme post processing on the B-17 and B-29, I was able to get some okay results. The rest were unusable.

Great shots and coverage everyone!
Moose, love the background info on the Breslau shots! isn't Breslau the former name for Lindenhurst? Were those woods once a community?
Great shots everyone !!!!
John, ALL of your HDR shots are just AWESOME !!!!!
My favorite is your AMAZING sunset shot with the Centennial Growler !!! WOW !!!! :cool:
Amazing shots. Great Job guys !
It was a good show, but not as good as previous years. There was a definite lack of thunder this year. It sounded like the entire beach erupted with cheers & applause after the F-18's closed the show on Sunday. I overheard Chuck Schumer talking to an event co-ordinator... he promised the Blue Angels for next year. Here's to hoping we can get the Raptor back next year, and I'd love to see the B1-B Lancer again.
At the 2007 show we had the Lancaster(?), F-22, B1-B, Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, A-10, Super Hornets, TWO F-86's, & a KC-135(?). That is the bar that needs to be topped! I don't know how we had the Angels & Birds BOTH at the same show... it was awesome!
I've still yet to see a B-2 in person, would love to see that one make an appearance some day.
Bill
When you spend six days running around the show, getting behind the scenes, you see and hear things that the general public doesn't - and maybe shouldn't...
When you leave the marina with one of these, nobody gets in your way!

:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
I think all these shows are running together for you, Bill - we never had all those at one show. The Thunderbirds and Blue Angels haven't performed in the same year at Jones Beach. The T-Birds and Snow Birds did both perform in 2009. In 2007, we did have the T-Birds, a B-1, the Lancaster, A-10 and one F-86. I've been to every show, and I don't remember ever seeing a KC-135 - and that I would remember, for obvious reasons.Quote:

Fantastic, super images everyone. I've enjoyed looking at all of them. Thanks.
And last May, we knew we were getting the Thunderbirds this year...Quote:

They did a lot more flying at FRG than they did at the beach. OK, so add a KC-135 to my wish-list :redface:
PS: Why did the t-birds bail on us this year? 1st time we've not had either a bird or angels demo :frown:
Bill
The Red Bull aircraft was a MiG-17, not an F-86. It's been here a couple of times.
http://www.moose135photography.com/A..._LP5UA-L-3.jpg
The Thunderbirds have a European tour scheduled this summer, with their first stop in Turkey. From what I've heard, the Turks moved the date for their show around a few times, finally settling on this coming weekend, June 4/5. The T-Bird support staff/equipment left over the weekend, and the team flies over today. It's the 100th Anniversary of the Turkish Air Force, and since they fly F-16s, and we need to keep them as friends, someone up the chain of command decided to blow off Memorial Day weekend in the states in favor of our European allies.
The Blue Angels were already committed to Millville, but in the end, that didn't come off either.
You're right again Moose! :redface:Quote:

I'll compile the rest of my footage featuring the A-10 and F-18 demo's to start.

They need to be cropped tighter Ken, Props are great, pics look sharp, I love the over processed shots, spread them out in the set and do not put them all together and they will get much better reviews.... You NAILED it! WOW! I am only talking about fine tuning your presentation as you got the shot very well! Congrats, a few months with an SLR and you REALLY have arrived! Once again WOW!!!!!
Amazing work Ken! I left a comment on a couple of your frames. I wish I could be more forthcoming on my edits but I haven't yet found much time between work and family events, but here's one more for now... http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5022/...8a39b9df_b.jpg
Interesting look at that A-10 - I guess that's what you get for sniffing that LOX container, Kenny!
Kenny, it looks like a Whale or a big friggin shark chewing on a cigar, except it's a robot whale chewing on a Gatling!!! Sweet effect...
Did you say you were too busy with life to actually enjoy the hobby? Welcome to [my] hell!!
Recognize anyone?

So, four months later, I finally finish going through my Jones Beach shots. I spent the entire weekend at Republic; this was the first time I skipped out on the beach entirely.
The rest are at dfalk.smugmug.com
My goal is to get Labor Day Weekend shots done by Christmas...

Wow, great shots! I was the AAM one day, I did not see the osprey's and helis... looks like that was really cool! Was it a one day thing, or did I just miss seeing it?
The Osprey and helos were at the Marine demo at Eisenhower Park. Don't know why, with the airshow the same weekend, they can't find their way to FRG, for even a flyover.
Nice work, Dan - I love the shot of Fifi coming over Rt. 110!
