It sounds better than it did last year. I almost passed out on the beach. Also a lot of people are saying they wouldn't mind a vaporfest.
Safe travels everyone!

I will drive to AC tomorrow morning, then back in the evening. Because my 7D developed a sensor malfunction at Westfield air show, I will take my old XTi to the show. If you see someone with a big 100-400L on a tiny XTi, that would be me. :wink:
I am leaving shortly, maybe see some of you down there.....
Post show review:
All demo teams flew their low show.
Golden Knights did not jump due to weather.
The HU-25 got caceled
The 103rd SAR demo got canceled
The NJSP Helios got canceled
The smoke squadron did not do their "smoke demo".
Even though the weather held the show back a bit it was still great!
Yes it was an enjoyable show. And there was more sun than I thought as I have a red face.Quote:

I thought the Smoke Squadron was pretty good. Started off slow but built up. What is their "smoke demo"?
The hovering Harrier was pretty awesome!! Friggin LOUD!!
And loved the double Dauphin demo. :biggrin:
I hung out between the Tropicana and the Hilton. Good sight lines and moved down to the beach line for the Harrier/TBirds. One thing is that people who stayed to the
north of the Caesars Pier missed out on some good stuff. I was out last night walking around figuring out where to go. Good recon there.
Oh and the freshly squeezed lemonade with vodka was also quite good. :cool::cool:

The Brazilian Smoke Team was pretty awesome!!
And I like the representation of Big Metal (C-17, C-130 etc). I wish Jones Beach would get some of these big boys!! :smile:
Here's my contribution.

and here's some video of the harrier

The Supercobra was actually canceled this weekend. The smoke demo involves their C-130 and I believe it was going to write "Happy 100th anniversary Atlantic City".Quote:

In retrospect I should have stayed an extra day. I was pretty beat at the end of the show especially as I was dragging around my backpack with my stuff from staying overnite. AlsoQuote:

But it worked out well. I was going to get on the 5PM bus but the 4:30 had extra seats so I hopped on board and we made great time until we got to the Lincoln Tunnel exit off I95. But
big shoutout to the Greyhound driver. He found a shortcut that definitely saved time, then a walk to Penn Station, minimal delay on the LIRR and I was home by 8:40. Not bad and it
sure beats driving. Much more relaxing.
IMO Greyhound is the way to go on trips to AC on their lucky streak buses. You may not get the $25 cash-back bonus from the casino like you do with Academy, but the wifi, power outlets and nicer seats make up for it.Quote:

Hey where are your priorities? :biggrin:Quote:

Well at least you didn't have to wake up early and then come home late. And taking the bus and LIRR takes the extra stress off ya. I'm glad everything worked out for you.
Speaking of the Harrier:

Great shot of Rob Hollands MX-2. I had my binocs with me and had him scoped out blasting in from the south right on the deck.Quote:

Wow guys, beautiful photos! Would love to see more!
Do you think the NYC show at coney will really happen next year, or is this a dead dream?
