Slow... A few things happening. Gotta love hearing the music playing from the museum.
Canopies down on both CF-18's and engines covered on the demo bird.
B-17 Yankee Lady is due in at 1:30pm but it probably will be delayed due to the weather.
CF -18 demo firing up suddenly
Three Raiders just went up.
CF-18 looks like it is Pre flighting. Firing engines.
Did the cf-18 go up? I'm at frg and both are still sitting there
Anybody over at the museum that can advise what is going on with the CF-18. Thanks.
The CF-18 demo bird has not gone up. Looked like it was getting ready about 45 mins ago but has not gone up.
Raiders returning.
The CF-18 guys are sitting near their bird. Would expect the painted bug to go up soon.
Anyone know the cf-18s call sign?
Figure around 1400 for the CF-18.
so depending on what they are doing, an approx ETA back to FRG would be 2:30-3:00 ??
I hope the conditions up there are better than down in Philly- low clouds, gusts, rain showers...
Skytypers are warming up
Thanks for the info. Going to be close with the weather.
Skytypers moving
Era for the return is 1445. Canopy is up on 717 and pilot is in.
Are they warming up?Quote:

Heard the CF-18 go over my Office in Copiague. Listing to Live ATC. Pilot said its Going to be the "Low Show" for todays Rehearsal.
The CF-18 did a High show this morning at the Beach in the back-up jet and a low show this afternoon in the painted jet and then we were treated to 2 great missed approach passes at FRG before he landing on 32 this afternoon! VERY COOL!:cool:
Thanks for the Update Chris. Will you be Going to the Beach tomorrow?
Not sure, depends on the weather which doesn't look too good for tomorrow unfortunately. BTW, it felt like the temperature dropped 20 degrees at FRG today with that strong NW wind kicking in today !! Brrrrrr !!!!
Oracle 6 landing now
It was BRUTAL in the tower with only a t shirt and jeans lol. My nipples are still hard.
Tough conditions at the beach today. Probably why there wasn't anybody there. I don't have much that's worth a hill of beans.
Little bit of Vapor.

I'll probably take a ride over & see what there is to see, if anything. I shot all day at the beach today & everything is going to take a lot of work just to show anything. Shooting into a bright cloud cover is not fun...
That being said, the acts all looked great today. I want to say I had a favorite but they all tore holes in the clouds. Holland, Klatt, Tucker, Windmiller = PHENOMINAL!
I know the B-17 "Yankee Lady" made into FRG this afternoon and I was just curious if Matt Chapman and "Dusty" the AT-301 ever made it into FRG today also ??
yea where are they???Quote:

Still no sign of Chapman or Dusty.
Jared - This was supposed to be "Dustys" debut show so that is why we don't have any pictures of him yet.
Is the Despicablimp still around? That can open the show lol.
May try to make it to the field tomorrow morning for a few static shots weather permitting. Forecast doesn't look promising.
