Tommy starting a trend!

Keep in mind that if you take all of the jets the team has, I believe the Blues have something like twelve jets. Having five go down is not the end of the world for them... the maintainers strive to do everything they can to get the six needed to do each and every demonstration.
Where do they keep the extras?

do u think there will be any more military demos
Doubt it. Steve Holtzinger would be more proper to answer that though. That kid can tell you what a flight lead from a Guard unit in Montana had for breakfast on Thursday. Normally though this close in you won't see too many more mil jet's added. I would love to see one more added though. Eagle or Viper preferrably
The ACC demo team schedule is out through June, all they have listed for JB is the A-10 team.
HAHA Ryan.
Seriously though, Moose hit it right on the nose. I've been to the last two Blue Angels Homecoming Airshows and have seen at least two spare Hornets in the team's hangar. I'm hoping this year I can get a tour of the hangar and all!
I honestly think the lineup is solidified. Yankee Lady will also be making an appearance, if it hasn't already been mentioned. Would be nice to see a C-17 demo but I don't think it'll happen.
Yes, it looks like all the ACC military demos are set for Jones Beach,
especially since the Air Force will be celebrating "Air Force Week" in NYC
later on in August at the Coney Island Air show. Besides the Thunderbirds,
F-18, and Harrier Demos already on the schedule for Coney Island show,
I'm hearing you can also expect to see the A-10 Demo added to the line-up
along with a couple of other Air Force aircraft flybys including the F-22 !! :wink:
Here's the recent Air Force announcement about "Air Force Week" in NYC:

It looks like a pretty solid lineup to me, the only other performers I can see being added at this point is Matt Chapman and David Windmiller.
Man this is sweetttttt :borat:
Does anyone know if John Klatt is back to doing airshows, or is he still overseas flying F-16's? I remember he had to cancel last year.
He was back by mid summer last year and flew the second half of the season. He was up at Rhode Island.Quote:

I'm trying to get a hold of him and get a schedule...
Bring us some good news :borat:Quote:

Yeah, seeing the Bone fly over Jones Beach again would be AWESOME,
but I think there might be a better chance of actually seeing that during
the "Air Force Week" celebration in NYC at the Coney Island show instead :wink:
Either way, I hope we get to see the Bone over Long Island sometime this year !! :borat:

We'll be doing more of the same this year and hopefully I'll actually make it to the beach as well!"
