Those are the Bad Boys 8) that will be doing the Marine demos all week around the area. To tell you the truth

I was told by a friend that the JROTC teacher in my school said they would be doing a demo in the field at my school. I hope he's telling the truth!

What High School do you go to? They are scheduled for two in the area. Lindenhurst and Massapequa.
Re: 2010 NYC Fleet Week 5/26 to 6/2
Hot of the press;
There will be a flyover of military aircraft for the parade of ships going up the Hudson consisting of F/A-18's from VFA-106 The Gladiators & VMFA-122 The Werewolves along with MV-22's (Ospreys) from VMM-263 The Thunder Chickens.
The flyover should follow the ships after they enter NY harbor.

Nice, I wonder why it wasn't on the "official" sched. Oh well, not much anyway. They really should do a couple of laps. From the Battery to GWB takes them 2 mins.

I stopped by Massapequa High School this AM for the USMC Demo/Visit and they only brought two birds and no Osprey. Here are two shots of the Sea Knight and a Cobra.

Uh oh :(
Re: 2010 NYC Fleet Week 5/26 to 6/2
FYI- I saw the Demo this morning by the Osprey, Sea Knight and 2 Cobras at Eisenhower Park.
I also talked to the pilot of the Sea Knight who was out of Norfolk and asked him if they were
also doing a demo over at FRG at 3PM today, and he said that demo had been canceled.
The 4 helicopters are supposed to depart Eisenhower Park at 2PM, so if you don't live too
far from there you can still catch them over there !!! :borat:
Re: 2010 NYC Fleet Week 5/26 to 6/2
a CH-46 and two AH-1s just flew southbound over LGA headed towards the city.
