Any word on the rest of the arrival. Thanks
Now you don't mean Steve me Steve, do you? All I did was report what I saw this morning as I passed by JB. I mean, just because I had to work today and could not partake in the practice show doesn't mean I would wish any ill will or weather gremlins on everyone else.
PS - It better be nice tomorrow, I'll be there.

I'm currently sitting in lot 4 and can only see half the water tower. Hoping it burn off a little. Have to work this weekend.
SuperHornet canopy just went up. Got a report from the beach the sun is breaking through
On the boardwalk. Unless there is such a thing as a Cat III ILS airshow there will be no flying here any time soon.
Ok right now it's waves of fog in and out. The sky is lifting then falling but at best still one mile vis.
Something LOUD just roared over my house. Low clouds=can't see sh*t.
Corporate jet landed on 14
A Prowler has landed at FRG
Ernie is pre flighting and will be going up to practice
Well for those of you at JB we just had a 5min break of sunlight at JFK. Might be headed your way.
Still cloudy down at the beach, goes form improving to worse in minutes. Ernie is pre-flighting? How about the blues? Any activity?
Well I think I'm going to flag it at the beach today I was hoping this fog would burn off
They just hooked up the arresting gear so I would say it looks good
As per Rob Reider's announcement at JB, the Blues have canceled their practice for this afternoon.
FYI- The 727-200 Horse Transporter aircraft is due just after 2PM today at FRG.:cool:
That blows. Any other jets going up?
They're still waiting for the other Super Hornet and 6 Snowbirds to arrive at FRG.
Otherwise, it doesn't look like anything will be taking off for the Beach unfortunately:frown:
Snowbirds are due in very shortly
I'm a newbie here and I'm excited for this weekends show. I also wanted to share some pics I took the other day.
