Is this a photo run or the demo practice?
Park at field 4 and walk under the parkway to the beach. You can't really see the demo from the parking lotQuote:

Decision on today's practice will be made by 2:00pm as per crew at the beach.
Anyone know if they are still planning to go up at 2pm?
Practice cancelled due to low ceiling.
I only stopped by for the Blue Angels but according to Rob Rider's announcement Fat Albert and the Osprey were the only performers to make an appearance.
What a let down! Tomorrow doesn't look much better!
To much talk about the weather. It's bad luck.
Tomorrow ow will be fine. Get there early.
Who's going to the beach tomorrow?
Yes I left Farmingdale at 1:20 and got there just before Fat Albert did their Flyby or Weather Reconaissance Flight as Rob Reider called it. Soon after he announced the Angels wouldnt fly.Quote:

Also Angel 7 went up twice for VIP flights, once with a teacher from LI and the second with WABC reporter NJ Burkett who I talked with as he was leaving!! Such a really nice guy he showed me video he took during his flight and we took a pic together. He said he really didnt feel queazy till they landed and what he really loved was that sitting in the canopy of the Hornet you have such a wide view of everything!! The teacher chatted with people outside the fenced in portion of the tarmac and he still seemed in awe of the whole experience!! I loved his line that the pilot saw some fishing boats and said to him "Lets go say hi" as the dove to buzz the boats!!
Headed to the beach after chatting with NJ. Wasnt sure what would happen but figured what the heck!! They werent charging the fee which was nice and i parked and walked down to the shoreline at show center. Fat Albert came in and gave us a few nice low buzzes but when he left Rob Reider announced the Angels would be unable to fly. A couple of guys told me the only aircraft that flew in was the Osprey. Everyone packed up and while on the Wantagh it just started pouring out. I'll be there Sunday now!!
For me another cool thing was seeing the two NYSPD UH-1s depart from Sheltair. The Grey Riders headed out to the beach LZ, both back doors open looking like they were ready for action!! And that sound of the Huey blades cant be beat!! Interesting when they returned they were wheeled into one of the hangars on the Atlantic tarmac.
They did the whole trip in about an hour and change!! Heard Tower say they had to get them right out as they were flying with minimum fuel!! They departed 4 then 2 disappearing quickly into the clouds.Quote:

It was kind of rough shooting today in less than favorable conditions but here are a few decent ones I got. I like the burner shot although I almost cracked my head open getting it. Hoping for better tomorrow down at the beach! .https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2915/...ae769772_c.jpgBlue Angels 5.23.14-1 by BigTim70, on Flickr https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3782/...6ccb257a_c.jpgBlue Angels 5.23.14-2 by BigTim70, on Flickr https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2926/...ca40be39_c.jpgBlue Angels 5.23.14-3 by BigTim70, on Flickr https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3753/...2e1a8bef_c.jpgBlue Angels 5.23.14-4 by BigTim70, on Flickr https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3784/...76dd305d_c.jpgBlue Angels 5.23.14-5 by BigTim70, on Flickr https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2936/...21a2923c_c.jpgBlue Angels 5.23.14-6 by BigTim70, on Flickr https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5505/...2d076031_c.jpgBlue Angels 5.23.14-8 by BigTim70, on Flickr https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5492/...15bcff97_c.jpgBlue Angels 5.23.14-9 by BigTim70, on Flickr

So far the weather has been disappointing to say the least. Here are a few from Friday's outing.

After an early morning live remote at the Airpower Museum, I headed down to the beach - Meteorologist Bill Evans told me himself that the clouds would burn off and we'd get to see some flying today...I did get to see an Osprey fly for the first time, and Fat Albert made a few passes checking the ceiling before the Blues cancelled.

Mark, the angle of the last Albert shot is great. I was at the beach then briefly at the aam. Will post photos tomorrow or tomorrow night. Hitting the show on Sunday. May go to the Home Depot lot for a bit tomorrow for landings at aam.
Hi guys, quick newbie camera question:
I got a Canon T5i for Christmas, can you guys tell me what settings I want for:
1. Blue Angels Demo
2. Slower Warbirds (and not have a frozen prop)
3. Static displays at the AAM
I'm planning to be at AAM late morning/early afternoon, so if you see a guy w/glasses and a blue shirt w/Bender on it that says "Crazy Robot Attack".... that's me :)
Bill
What lense are you using?Quote:

Anyone know what time and runway for the blues launch today?
Yankee lady did not participate?

A few of mine today.

Traffic was pretty congested by the Main Terminal and on 110 north from airport to Conklin while Blues airborne!! Interesting that many people were parked all along Rt 109 by Runway 1. Didnt they get the memo the Blues use 14/32? :confused::tongue:
Tomorrow I head to the beach!!
