Wow the pictures came out good! They finally cleaned up all their junk around the plane.
Yeah, I had to wait until they packed up and left. It was good meeting you out there tonight!
Moose,
As always GREAT shots !! Thanks for posting them !! :borat:
BTW, from the arrival schedule that was posted, I guess the Thunderbirds
are using a C-130 support aircraft instead of their usual C-17, huh ???
I've heard C-17 all along, but this post has me worried. Globemaster III coming in over RT-110 is much more impressive than a Hercules. This year I was planning on taking pictures of motorist's faces waiting at the Airport Plaza intersection instead of the aircraft! Will have to wait and see.
This is the first I've heard about a C-130 supporting the T-Birds. I know the past couple of years, we've had a C-130 in and out a few times during the week for various reasons (it was an RI ANG bird). That may be what some people are hearing. Sure hope we get the C-17 back in, that's an impressive sight on the ramp at FRG.
Maybe its a typo dan still has it up as a C-17 on long island aviation.
Nice shots Moose!
T-Birds wanted to use 3 Hercs. The C-17 is still a go as far as I know, coming in tomorrow so keep your cameras ready. I'll be at work.
As I mentioned in the FRG thread, the Red Bull MiG-17 and BO-105 helicopter arrived today. Fred was there for the MiG arrival, sadly they came in after I left in the morning, and before I got back in the afternoon. They are parked between the AAM and Sheltair hangars.

For the 4th year running, you will be able to listen on line to the Air Show at Jones Beach (Long Island, NY) at w2lie.net
The audio will be running on my "Specialty" feed. Be sure to use WinAmp or iTunes and you will be able to "see" what frequency my scanner has stopped on.
The feed will start at 7am on Tuesday, May 19th - so that you may hear the Thunderbirds come into Republic Airport (Farmingdale, NY).
Frequencies for the stream are located at http://www.w2lie.net/airshow (which I see have already been ripped and posted one page back)
I will also be archiving the audio from the air show, and hope to put it on line when I get a chance.
You can track updates and feed activity on my site in the forums:
Long Island Live Scanner Feeds: http://www.w2lie.net/e107_plugins/forum ... c.php?4607
New Computer memory will be installed before this weekend's events. Hopefully this will allow for more users to listen to the stream.
73 - and Happy Listening!
Phil
Glad to here the MIG made it up here from Andrews AFB, looking forward to seeing the afterburner on that thing again.
I was thinking about taking a ride to to FRG tomorrow, are there any arrivals left-like the Snowbirds and the A-10?
A while ago I pased by FRG to see that US Helicopter being towed away on a flatbed. I saw alot of black SUV's with tinted windows around the airport; is it still ok to pull over on New Highway for photos?
FYI,
A movie/TV production studio rented out the parking lot next to the tower/56FG for a shoot today. I'm parked here now but they're keeping everybody away from the fence. THere is viewing available next to the terminal but you'd be best to park in the terminal lot and walk over.
They said it was just for today.
T-Bird 15, a C-130 departed @ 3:55 this afternoon after dropping off her cargo.
T-Bird 14, another C-130 arrived @ 4:15 with the rest of the gear...
Then as I was speaking W/Larry-51 (AirshowBuzz), Snowbird 11 made a high speed pass with full smoke. Really cool site to see.
