where did the F-111 come from?
It belongs to the museum, it's a retired USAF bird. I think they took delivery about a year ago.Quote:

Nice shots Moose! I was over there today on my way home, got to see the F-4u and Avenger fly.
Tom, did you get your flight?
Headed over to FRG this afternoon to see if I could catch the bombers in flight. Rwy 32 was active, so I parked on New Highway, down near the approach end.
Got to see the P-51 make a few low passes before leaving - he took off on Rwy 1, but made a pass down 32:

All 3 bombers made two flights each. First out was the B-24, followed by the B-17:

The B-25 departed Rwy 1 both times, so no take off shots, but here are a couple of her landing:

In between watching for the bombers, got to shoot some "everyday" traffic:

This twin Beech was making a fighter approach to the runway - he was inside of the Parkway while in this bank, but managed to get it lined up on short final.

COOL STUFF around Farmingdale....probably the best possible airport to
ever spot at if you are looking for a large selection of non commerical
aircraft. HEAVEN for warbird fans!
