The PANYNJ is the lead agency for the show now and I heard they should have a show update in a couple of weeks.:cool:
That's great news - maybe Chris Christie will be out setting up cones for traffic control...Quote:

Here's the new link for the show's website:

Without a Demo Team that lineup is pretty light. If the TAC demos run 10-15 minutes, how long do you figure the show will last? I'm hoping they fill it out a little bit more with civilian teams and some warbirds. I'm planning on attending regardless because of the Horsemen and if the C-5 Unit involved up there has connections and brings in the military statics. If anything like the old days we could see a B-52, B-1, KC-135 etc.....
Well, according to the show's FB page, they're waiting for the USMC to confirm the venue change before
they officially add the USMC Harrier Demo to their performers list, so that's promising news.:cool:
Right now with the present line-up the show will probably last only about 3 hours but hopefully they'll add
some flybys with the C-17 and KC-130 that are based up at Stewart and some Warbirds too if we're lucky :wink:
Seems to be a lot of $$$$$$$$ being thrown around. Parking, admission, photopit, VIP ..................
Charging for admission (at a military base!) and charging for parking? No way in hell they're going to put on anything that's even close to being a $25 airshow.
Who owns this crap?
I was thinking the same thing!! Plus for people coming from downstate its a hike!! And no Jet Team? Mmmmm......Quote:

Stewart is not a military base, it is a civilian airport, operated by the Port Authority. The Air Force decommissioned it in the early 1970s, and while it houses a unit of the NY ANG, it is not a military field.
PANY/NJ involved so there is one reason for all the money being charged.
Sad to report the show has been canceled as I reported in another forum. No reason was given but probably the cost for permits, security, need for sponsorship, etc. It has now been 15 years since the last show in 2000. The show was moved up to Newburgh but I have no car. My consolation is that the US Open has free shows that weekend offering nice views of LGA departures. If lucky, you will see the Williams sisters practice, as I did, or others. Sorry to report about the show.
Yup, all us doubters about a show were right all along. Too much hassle to get NYC permits, insurance costs, lack of sponsors, inability to charge spectators at Coney, airspace over LGA, etc. It was a pipe dream. Doubt if they'll ever repeat air shows over Coney and we in Brooklyn have the Friday Fireworks, Hot Dog Eating Contest, the Mermaid Parade, Luna Park, etc as consolation.
Well, technically the "New York Airshow" was moved. Should we rename the thread then? I'm actually kind of glad it moved to SWF. I had no plans to head over to Coney Island, let alone with a $1000+ camera. Its not Jones Beach with a custom made parkway to take you directly to a huge parking lot. With the show at SWF, we now have the hope that the NY Air Guard can pull out the stops and get some decent statics, let alone some military fly-bys. Just look what the RI Air Guard does for the Quonset Show.
Been to CI a number of times the last few years attending Cyclones games!! Never had any issues with any of the locals or anyone for that matter and always had a great time!! And I came in from Long Island taking the LIRR to Penn then a choice of 4 different subway lines that leave you right there!! I would have been going if i didnt have a wedding that weekend in Philly!! But I wouldnt have been driving up to SWF even if they had a jet team anchoring the show!! Thunder Over The Boardwalk is a few days after this and lot more relaxing and fun to be at!!Quote:

FYI- the Breitling Jet Team updated their 2015 schedule recently and unfortunately the AC Show is no longer listed.

I know you should never say never but You will probably never see an air show in NYC again.
The NYAS FB page now has the USMC Harrier officially listed.
LOL Matthew!Quote:

Don't think I'll bother! Not paying $30 for that!
Might just go sit at MGJ I'm sure everything will be seen from there even at a distance.
Where does it say "no cameras"?Quote:

I think that was just a poke at Port Authority, and the way they discourage photography at their airports.Quote:

FYI- I just noticed the Horsemen have updated their 2015 show schedule and AC is on it too now :cool:
http://www.horsemenflight.com/
Update: The AC show posted on the Horsemen's website schedule was a mistake and is no longer listed now. Oh well !!
New York's 106th Rescue Wing CSAR Demo has been added to the performers list also:cool:
There is a drawing on the air show's Facebook page for a free ride in Panchito at the Sunday show.
According the Show's website they're planning a special NYC flyover up the Hudson River next Thurs., 8/27 at 11AM ...
http://airshowny.com/air-force-heritage-flight/
"During transit from Langley Air Force Base to Stewart International Airport the F-22 Raptor and P-51 Mustang
will be joined by an F-16 from the Viper Demo Team. The three aircraft will make a single pass up the Hudson River
from South to North at approximately 11:00 am on Thursday, August 27th, passing over the Statue of Liberty and
by the World Trade Center."
Tentative flying schedule released
National Anthem Flag Jump by the West Point Parachute Team
Mike Wiskus in the Lucas Oil Pitts
L-39 Cold War Era Jet Demo
B-25 Mitchell “Panchito” WWII Bomber
USMC AV-8B Harrier Demo
Andrew Wright
ANG 106th Rescue Wing Combat Search and Rescue Demo
The Horsemen P-51 Flight Team
USN F-18 Super Hornet Demo
Mike Wiskus in the Lucas Oil Pitts
GEICO Skytypers
USAF F-22 Raptor Demo
USAF Heritage Flight
I'm sure there's going to be some long intermissions for departing commercial flights
during the show also because that line-up is only a about 3 hours worth of flying.
It's too bad they can't have the Super Hornet Demo do double duty especially since
they usually bring 2 qualified Super Hornet Demo pilots to each show anyway ! :wink:
I guess that means the USN Leapfrogs have been scratched. Totally understandable considering what happened last weekend.
