What a great day! The weather was amazing and the views were perfect. The wind was a bit much but that also provided for some great flying. Some of the low speed maneuvers were amazing thanks to it.
Here is my .02 on the show, it’s a little long but I broke it up by performer so read the ones you’re interested in.
Matty Chapman looked great from the Parkway. Those dopes in the booths were moving like they were in slow motion and it took us an hour to get from Freeport to the beach. I was bummed out that I couldn’t see the display up close as he puts on a great show every time and he didn’t disappoint yesterday.
Ed Hamil was a no show, I think he had engine problems this week and it appears he just couldn’t get them ironed out in time. Hopefully he’ll get up today.
The Warbirds were great as always but the really nice surprise was to see Chris flying Glamorous Gal for the first time in a show since the untimely passing of his father a few weeks back. A few of us were speaking at the practice show and apparently Snort went and got Glamorous Gal from Brookhaven and brought it to Republic but we weren’t sure who was going to fly her for the show. It wasn’t quite the same without Bob flying escort in his P-40 but I’m sure he was looking down on Chris and smiling. He was and will continue to be missed.
Reesman was great in the Mig. It was a treat for me as it was the first time I witnessed a Mig 17 flying. Chuck Aaron in the Helo was really cool too. I’ve never seen a Helo go inverted so to see one do it on purpose was pretty neat. The Red bull Parachute Jumpers were absolutely insane. They bailed out over what appeared to be Tobay, free fell for 1000’, then after pulling chutes, screamed into the drop zone. Fantastic!
It was also my first time being able to see Dave Windmiller perform in a show. It’s really too bad he doesn’t perform more than he does because he puts one heck of a show. Very high speed, very high G, very original & exciting. I saw that he’s performing in Ocean City, maybe we could get him to give Dave Schultz a call and get him into Atlantic City. Just saying…
Skytypers did their usual precise flying. I love the sound of those SNJ’s as they fly overhead, it’s unmistakable.
The Horsemen were a real treat to watch. As with the Skytypers, there is something special about the sound of a P-51 roaring in at low altitude and to see these guys doing formation loops and dives was really awesome. I’m a big time fan now and I can’t wait to see them perform again in the near future. I also made a trip to the ASB tent to buy a Horsemen hat where I ran into Ed Shipley’s son. He hadn’t heard about the water tower that had been renamed after his dad & Beasley so I filled him in on the story. He laughed and assured me he would “inquire” about it with his father. On a side note, Wade Boggs made sure he clarified to the Horsemen when they were in a holding pattern to hang out over the Beasley/Shipley water tower.
Sean D was really on point today as well. He was one of the performers that the high winds really helped his display. The highlights for me were him holding the “Harrier” for what seemed like forever. When he also did his “Get to know the crowd” pass, he was so low & slow that you could count the hairs on his head. I think he was actually at eye level with the boardwalk. He does things with that plane that one should not be able to do. Amazing as always.
The Super Bug was as impressive as ever. Again, the high winds helped out some of the routine, especially the High Alpha Pass. He brought that thing down show line with a 33 degree angle of attack, moving forward at 72 knots. To see an aircraft like a Hornet that close, moving that slow was really cool, but then he plugged in the afterburners and I think he could have set off car alarms in Long Beach! The High Speed pass was one of the coolest ones I’ve ever seen as well with a vapor cone forming back by the West Bath house and carrying through most of the show line.
The A-10 is on of my favorite demos and I was glad to see it back this year. When he does his simulated strafing runs, you can just hear that thing screaming and imagine what it must be like to be on the ground and see/hear that thing coming in on you. The turning radius on that machine is amazing as well. The added Chrome for the demo really showed up nicely in the sun yesterday too.
I felt bad for the 106th. Yesterday’s weather conditions weren’t real conducive to them doing a good SAR demo. The jumpers got blown pretty far to the West and the helo was way down by the West Bathhouse for the extraction. I love seeing the HC-130 doing low orbits though, you can feel the concussion from the Props turning when they fly that close to the deck.
The Snowbirds were absolutely incredible. They did some of the best precision flying I’ve ever seen and they did Cross after Cross after Cross… I love the 9 jet teams like the Snowbirds & Red Arrows, when they fly in formation, they just look so majestic. My Father in law said they looked like a Big ol’ 747-400 turning towards the East. They also had a couple of tight passes where from our vantage point, it looked as if was 1 jet but in fact it was 3-4. They were so tight, you couldn’t even see the trailers. It’s really cool to have them here at the Beach and to see that 9 ship formation fly inbound over the Water Tower was breathtaking.
Speaking of Breathtaking, the Thunderbirds are in midseason form. Now that they have the new Block-52’s, they are really using the added power to do some maneuvers they couldn’t do in the past. They also use the new louder AB’s for 2-3 nice Sneak passes which made people all around me jump and drop their drinks. It looked like 5 may have been a little late getting to the Bomb Burst but he made up and by the time cross happened, he was right there. Another stellar High Alpha Pass into AB which shook your insides. I also loved seeing 5 & 6 split the water tower and would have loved to get up on that scaffolding to watch the show. The workers there on Friday had the best view.
Hopefully I’ll get to the airport today to do some spotting. I have to go put some aloe on my red shoulders & face now…
>Moose, You should have been at the beach...the F-18 repeated the vapor performance during the hi speed run and this time the cone lasted for a good run of the crowd line! It was the first time I saw that at a show ever and I wasn't taking video at the time.<
My youngest son went today and he told me that the F-18 vapor performance was one of the coolest parts of the show. It
definitely brought in the "ooohs" and "ahhhhhs" from the huge crowd.
that is by far one of the nicest shots of the set you posted! smoke on plus vapor is a great plus. kudos!Quote:

went down after work and saaw the last half of the show. There was definitly a sonic boom today when he punched in the afterburners. What a sight to see with the vapor trail.The boom was unexpected..
Yeap, I got it and went nuts because it was my first time seeing it in person lol.Quote:

Anyhow, here you go...
fkFT4rkVDvA
Just got back from a long day at FRG. Arrived around 10:30 and parked along New Highway. I saw the Knights plane
coming back in and the Warbirds were heading out. But they came back pretty quickly as the weather at the beach
was no go for flying. I turned on AM1100 and they announced because of low ceiling and low visibilty the show was being delayed. I cruised over to the lot by 1-9 and watched different flybys of the aircraft parked at AAM. At FRG the sun broke out and the weather warmed up but still no go at Jones Beach. But there was hope as helicopter N355AG
which was working non-stop shuttling from FRG to Jones Beach told Tower it looked like it was begining to clear. Finally
around 1PM they began the show and they pretty much compacted a 5 hour show into 2 and a half hours. They had one act after the other going out with minimal delay. The TBirds finally lined up on 1-4 at 2:35 or so and roared out with a break to the E/NE. They returned and did a formation flyby over 1 NB then turned back for a second
flyby over 1-4 then broke to the north and landed 1-4. That was cool. Later there were a number of flybys after that
including a Missing Man formation of 4 aircraft along Runway 1. Three of them landed and the fourth which I believe was a Mustang did two fast flybys on 1-9 before landing.
The Snowbirds never flew nor did the SkyTypers. Not sure why the Snowbirds didnt go up, possibly a lack of time but I'm sure someone here will fill us in.
When I left you can see T-Storms forming to the west and in fact Tower advised 355AG about one coming in along the
south shore and the pilot said he better expedite as he still had two more trips to make to Jones Beach.
Hey I submitted a picture to Newsday I took Friday of the Red Bull copter and they published it.

I doubt there was a sonic boom.Quote:

I'm almost certain your eardrums would be hurting like hell right now had you heard a sonic boom with no protection. A sonic boom can bust out car windows at the minimum in a 1 mile radius. That could cost the Navy a heafty penny. I'm sure the pilots would be in a helluva lot of trouble as well.
This is one awesome catch! My favorite of the ones you posted.

Ouch that stinks, did they cut a lot of stuff off? I was wondering what the delay was.Quote:

From what I saw at FRG only the Snowbirds and Skytypers didnt fly. And from what I heard on AM1100 the ANG helo
did some type of demo. Not sure if it was the SAR one with the C-130.
It was fun at Republic but I had some dread the fog wouldnt lift or the ceiling/visibilty wouldnt comply to the TBirds protocols.
In the end it turned out to be a really nice day and even the storms held off till after 5PM.
Anyone know how long they would delay the show before cancelling? Has it ever happened?
All I can say is DAVE WINDMILLER IS THE MAN!
I got to the beach late and nothing was flying. My wife, kids & I walked the entire length of the boardwalk and back just to kill time when the 106th Helo did an abbreviated Demo. The whole time the only thing I was hearing on the radio was that the weather didn’t look good and that teams were scrubbing their flights for the day. Then, about 1:00 I heard Dave Windmiller on the radio with the Boss and he said that he was going to do a few flyby’s and make a decision at that point. Out of the East I saw him come screaming in and by the time he got to the East Bathhouse he exclaimed over the Radio, “This is totally flyable and I’m going into my routine”! At that point he knocked out a kick A$$ routine and the flood gates were opened. All of the other pilots followed his lead and we ended up getting a pretty nice show in today.
We got to see the 106th, Dave Windmiller (AKA THE MAN), Sean Tucker, Ed Hamill, the Red Bull Mig & Helo, (no jumpers though), the F-18, the Horsemen, Heritage Flight, & a great performance by the Thunderbirds.
All in all, it was a great day of flying, even if it was a little short. Dave gets all the credit for getting the ball rolling and putting on another brilliant flying display.
There was NO sonic boom. I was telling Juggs about his vapor and how everybody was going nuts about it. He said that his safety observer said it was pretty insane and he caught some of it in the mirrors. He also said that he wanted to see pictures of it and I gave him this site as well as ASB as good places to find some. He said that he was "REAL CLOSE", hence the nice vapor cone... :borat:Quote:

No, they aren't here for the show. Most likely bringing some VIP visitors for Fleet Week, they've been in the past few years.Quote:

Thunderbirds have all gone - most of the team departed around 11:30, one jet stayed until 1:30. C-17 arrived just before 1pm (I totally blew the approach) and just departed off Rwy 1 around 2:45. Snowbirds departing Tuesday, 11:30-12 Noon. A-10s and F/A-18s still on the field.
Pix to come...
Man please find out when it departs I want to get a video of it taking off in full AB. Any idea where the best spot to film this would be? Outside obviously. They are at Farmingdale airport correct?Quote:

After most of the team left (one aircraft remained behind) they let the crowd onto the ramp to take a closer look. The maintenance and support folks were around to answer questions and talk about the team.

Another air show in the books. It's been a long week, but I wouldn't have traded a minute of it. Got to see some amazing performances, spend time with good friends, and shoot the heck out of it!
I learned something interesting today in talking with one of the T-Bird maintainers. If you look at this shot from Saturday, you see Lead and Slot both were flying D-models (2-seaters) and Slot has a center-line fuel tank.
http://moose135.smugmug.com/photos/5...80_4bfSN-L.jpg
In the C-model, there is a fuel tank behind the cockpit - in the D-model, to make room for the second cockpit, the tank is about half the size. Their new Block 52 aircraft have more powerful engines, which are thirstier than the old jets. With the reduced fuel capacity of the D-model, they can get tight on fuel for a show, especially when it is an off-side demo like Jones Beach, so they will carry the external tank for more capacity.
Not sure why Lead doesn't have one, but I suspect it's because the Slot pilot uses more fuel during the show than Lead - Lead just goes out and flies the routine (yeah, "just" :D ) while the other pilots will be constantly adjusting power to maintain position within the formation.
since i didn't take my SLR with me this is the only shot i took, about 0900 monday morning as we started packing the airplanes for the long trek to KSLC. i really wished i was going with 'em!
oh and btw: Ed Hammil is a really, really good bowler.

I heard the C-17 actually went into the grass, probably while making the 180 on the runway... true?
Here are a few of my shots.... I will have to post the C-17 takeoff in a few days, and not sure about the grass....sorry

More in a few days :borat:
It is good to have sleep!!!!
Damn you guys take scary good pictures :shock: I hope I can compete.
Just wanted chime in and say thank you to Fred for the opportunity to join in on the History Under the Stars on Sat. and Scott for giving me the heads up. Also like to point out that Moose was super nice and welcoming when I met him at AAM... also EXCELLENT photography.. wow...
I have, between Saturday at Jones, AAM and Sunday back at Jones, over 2500 images to cull through. Obviously some are series of shots from passes but all in all, I took a lot of Giggage as I like to call it :-)
Likely I will have some to post later tonight or tomorrow. I don't know how you guys managed to go through your pictures so quickly, but I need to retire from my day job LOL
Some of my aviation stuff is here

This was truly a special moment for me. There is always that first time you capture something you've wanted to for a long time. All I kept saying was if I actually got it on the card, I sure hope it is IN FOCUS and WELL EXPOSED... LOL
Cheers!

Al Cerullo was the busiest pilot of the weekend. He pretty much flew non-stop on Sunday shuttling pilots and crews
back and forth from FRG to Jones Beach even when the show was in delay. At 4:30 a Tcell was moving along the South shore and he
still had two more trips to make. Did he ever shutdown or take a break to stretch his legs? LOL it didnt seem like it.
I also like the ships new colors.

HOLY ******* S***!
*Manny*...you need to put those up on Airliners.net! What camera is that and congrats on the rare accomplishment!
Cheers times a million!
