Believe it or not the usual call-sign for VF-31 is "Tomcat". Might want to keep a listen for "Felix" or "Bandwagon" as well.Quote:

I'll have to see if the jets going to Miami, North Island and Palmdale do anything extra today and tomorrow.
Yea baby!!!! ONE LAST TIME.....AGAIN!!!! :DQuote:

I might just watch it from the office :)...oh, maybe the roof of the office!
Date: Wednesday, October 4th, 2006
Time: Unknown until flight plan is filed on the 3rd.
But now that I think of it, Northrop is supposed to have some sort of event-thing for its retiree members and current emplyees, so I'm sure once the time info gets out for that we will be able to figure out her arrival time before the official flight plan is filed. So if you know people that work at Bethpage, make sure you force them to immediately call you when they find out that info. Thanks.
I will be there for sure!!!!!
Latest numbers I'm getting is a landing between 11:30 and 11:40am, with a Northrop Grumman ceremony around noon. Still waiting for a confirmation.
Hope that's correct - I took the day off, and I will get to see the 'Cat land, and have time to get to the Mets playoff game at 4 :DQuote:

I will be shortly after that time....I should be about 9:25-9:40.
I will be setting up on New Hwy... I have an idea but it may change as usual!
I'm bringing my ladder too Rob!!
Oh, how I miss standing on top of my truck... :cry:
