Sweet shots. I should go check it out, I always miss the blimps. I'm surprised Fred isn't in that cockpit taking pics...oh wait, it wasn't 3am, never mind.
Took a ride past FRG this afternoon to see what was up. Going down New Highway, I saw this guy getting ready to depart:

I was a little surprised at just how loud it was when they pushed up the power!
I saw the AAM's L-39 heading down to Rwy 1, so I parked over by the terminal for a while...

When he returned, it sounded like he wanted to fly up initial for an overhead pattern, but it was a busy day and tower made him fly a normal pattern. He ended up crowding a Cessna on final, and going around when the Cessna didn't clear the active in time:

Ahhh Flex Jet and Flight Options birds. I like the Navajo alot as well. Kick ass paint job on it though she needs a trip to the bath.
Nice Job Moose.... I wish I had time to post some of the 10000+ pics I took around farmingdale this past month....I can not wait until it gets cold so I have time to look at them let alone post some. If you think you have seen some neat shots from Farmingdale, you have to see the ones that Moose John and I have that will be posted in the future. Sorry to be such a tease but this summer is not over yet and I am looking for a few good len's for night ops in the next few weeks....... Now off to find someone with a reall fast streetbike for some Felix 101 shots.....DON'T ASK! ;)
Nice catch on the L-39.
Hey Fred whats goin on with that Tomcat?
Fred gave me a heads-up about this yesterday, when I was out on the golf course. Took a ride over at lunch time, and found she had just returned, parked over at the terminal ramp. Once the crew and various ground personnel were out of the way, I took a few shots. Light was tough - sun was directly overhead, with luck, she'll still be there after work and I can get some photos in better light. She is one sharp looking bird!

I went back after work tonight, and got some shots of the NYSP Huey in better light:

The blimp crossed right east of LGA maybe 3 miles off the feild yesterday or the day before, I do not recall.

I wish I had the 500 on me, but I was only carrying the 200 that day.
That third picture from the bottom, the buckeye(?), is that part of the AAM?
Great catch Moose!
I saw the HOOD blimp on saturday morning.
I love it in its simplicity.
MILK from the HOOD. Good stuff ;)
That looks like the USN T-45 I caught last weekend - I posted a shot on the previous page of this thread.Quote:

I was technically at Farmingdale when I took the picture :twisted:
http://dfalk.smugmug.com/photos/179559022-M.jpg
What is it going to be like at FRG with the Collings Foundation there? (This weekend)
Do they just give tours of their planes or do they take people up for a generous donation?
I think $450 will get you a ride on one of the bombers. At least that's the price they were asking Memorial Day weekend for the B-17.
Personally I am looking forward to this weekend, cooler than August, and should be a little more warbird/bomber action.
Hold on to your hats!!! Here is a LLLong post
Went to Farmingdale for an hour or so and a few hours
on today with the kids and got these....Oh, I did stop
on Saturday after midnight too, go figure!

Great shots, Fred! I love the shot of the P-51 sucking up the gear, and the L-39 overhead - stunning!
Fred as always AWESOME! Moose and I meet up by chance and shot from about 2:30 onward. Light was wonderful and I got the exact shots I wanted, I'm very pleased.

Moose, was that Miami Air at FRG today? that plane is at EWR now, nice shots
Yes, she was. Departed approx. 1440, taking the Islanders to Buffalo. According to FlightAware, arrived at BUF around 1530, and departed an hour later for EWR.
