Thanks for the heads up. Now, I wonder where are the rest of the Snowbirds...:confused:Quote:

Snowbirds and 18's should be later today. After 6pm
Thanks FK.
Actually thank Moose. He gave me that estimate
F/18 Just came over my house. Caught me by surprise. I think it may have been a Growler.

Don't post here very often but just thought I would share the action at Republic today for those who missed it!
Figures, leave the airport and look what happens. Thanks for the info.Quote:

Yankee Lady arriving

I'll be heading up to the AAM in about an hour. Hopefully they are letting people with NGC into the AAM
anyone suggest a good time to head to the beach on Saturday? Have always gone on Friday and never had a problem but I don't want to leave to late and see that the road is closed. Would getting there by 8:00 be good?
Thats what i do. I'm on the beach at 8 and everything is smooth sailing. The security isn't even set up yet so you breeze on throughQuote:

Cool, thanks. Want to make sure I get a decent parking spot and a spot in the sand at show center
Was just told by someone at the AAM that the snowbirds were pushed back to an 8pm arrival
Does anyone know if the f-22's came into islip today
Why are you waiting in the AAM lot? Nothing is happening tonight.
Yes, the F-22s arrived at ISP today.
Grumman employee event to check out the growlersQuote:

There is 1 each Super Hornet on the ramp. It is buttoned up, and the ground crew loaded up their car and left 45 minutes ago. Zero Growlers are on the ramp, and there is no event for NGC or otherwise.
Had a chance to meet two really cool people today. A 90 year old WWII vet who shared some wonderful stories on life and Ritchie, a retired police officer who was nice enough to let me use his ladder at Home Depot today. Good thing I didn't go to Jones Beach!

That's not what the email said. As it turns out, nothing is happening...so apparently our people gave us some bad infoQuote:

Also, f-22s visually confirmed Islip (ISP)... Just drove past while driving home from work...
F/A-18 inbound
Operations is talking about an inbound F/A-18 with no ETA
No additional Snowbirds as of yet and it is pouring at the airport
Is there anyplace where there is a schedule of the times the performers will perform their acts in the air show...
ken
More than one?:biggrin::cool:Quote:
