Re: Jones Beach Airshow 2010
Sorry folks, but today while I was waiting for Blue Angel #7 with the family a car hit the lip and struck my brother and aunt and hit the car and narrowly missed me. Thankfully they are both in stable condition. Because of this information on the first page may be out of date and I probably will not be able to make it back to the airport to provide people with live updates.
I would also like to thank Fred, the photographer with the camo lens( sorry I think I forgot your name), the two off duty EMT's, and all the people who called 911. I don't know what we would have done without you guys.
I would also like to thank the Dept. of Homeland Security,SCPD, and the East Farmingdale Fire Dept. for responding quickly and getting everyone to safety.

Yup, fortunately every thing that could went right in a crappy situation like that happened.
You're welcome I enjoyed letting everyone in on the updates. Unfortunately I will probably be unable to make it back to the airport because of everything but I hope everyone enjoys the show and stays safe.

Even in the best of times that road is dangerous. Thankfully they werent seriously hurt. And let this be a
lesson to all. Be CAREFUL, Pay ATTENTION, drive SLOWLY!! There will be a hordes of people driving
around Republic this weekend and lots of them probably have never experienced the wonderment of New
Highway. Lets be safe and enjoy what is shaping up to be a great weekend.
Falcon I hope your family recovers quickly and I hope you get a chance to see some of the action. After ALL
the hard work you have put in it would definitely SUCK if you get shutout!!!

Glad to hear everyone's okay. I fear New Highway every time I'm on it or next to it because I'm sure some dumb**** is going to scream on by trying to break the sound barrier with his/her car.

Yeah after this accident I can't stress the importance of being aware whether you are the driver or the spectator. And I hope all of you enjoy the events lined up for this weekend I was able to enjoy myself and get some nice pics(which ill post later).
Also I hopefully ill still make it to the show and ill still try to update you guys the best I can.
Thank you everyone for your kind words.
EDIT-
Both have been discharged from the hospital.
My brother suffered a minor back injury as well as some bruses and scratches.
My aunt suffered a laceration and major bruses.
Naturally, both of them are in pain and shooken up but its not bad considering what could have happened.

Re: Jones Beach Airshow 2010
Ken,
Glad you Aunt and brother are Ok.. When I saw you in the mirror my first thought was that you were pinned between the cars. Glad there was an EMT and a fireman there watching.
Thanks for all the updates you posted.

Re: Jones Beach Airshow 2010
Glad everyone is ok.
Almost saw a similar situation when the f-18 came in. Some guy tried to pass 3 cars heading north bound on New Highway. He had gone into the opposite lane and almost took a few cars with him as he must have been going 80mph.

I just saw (Airshow)Steve put a warning and heads-up on his Facebook page and I put a heads up on the Bethpage FCU Air Show Facebook page. Lots of Yahoos out this weekend and the more we can warn people the better. Even out of
tragedy some good can come.
Glad your family members are home and recovering.

Either the AAM or Main Terminal should be a good spot to watch the planes.

I'll stick around by AAM. i'll probably be on top of my car. By AAM is that a good area to catch them landing?

Re: Jones Beach Airshow 2010
Kenny, sorry to hear about the accident, glad everyone is going to recover.
Fred K - I was on the other side of the Rwy when the CF-18 arrived, then headed to the parkway and off to work. I passed a guy standing on the roof of his truck on that side, I assume that was you. Nice catch!

Re: Jones Beach Airshow 2010

Re: Jones Beach Airshow 2010
Falcon, glad to hear that things fared OK for you.
I ran into Kenny twice uyesterday, (as I was doing Home Dopey runs all day) and I did see the Cf18 at a distance.
Came to Home Dopey again (and nearly ran over Kenny...) and the CF18 was out and about.
Took my son to see the 530 Blue 7 arrival. She got there 15 min early so we missed it.
Anyhoo, what time are the Blues slated to go op today?
