The Bethpage Federal Credit Union is holding a drawing to win VIP passes to the 2010 airshow. http://www.facebook.com/notes/bethpage- ... 1009288135
They also said they are sponsoring Ed Hamill, but the below pic looks like a [pretty bad] photoshop to me.

EDIT- There was a press release the other day regarding the show and it mentioned an HF flight, I think its too but you never know! You can view it here
VIP passes? what would that bring? An up close with some of the planes and pilots? :borat:
Most likely prefered parking and a seat at the tent with lunch, way back by the boardwalk.Quote:

I'll be at JB Friday. Bringing my buddies HD cam and with any luck I'll stick a GoCam to the bird for the flight there.
Hey all.
I was really planning on seeing the show this year on the Saturday, but alas, that won't happen.
So my only chance at any action falls on the Saturday.
For those that have gone on the Friday practice show, do the Blues/Tbirds usually go on in the early afternoon after 1 PM?
Except for one time a few years ago when it rained on Friday and the practice show was cancelled most of theQuote:

The practice show is great....no traffic, free admission and the beach empty!!! :D :D
The Blue's will fly well after 1PM.
Yeah usually the schedule is pretty close to the actual sat/sun schedule.Quote:

I heard a rumor about a Spitfire, and a few Corsairs that will split there time between Jones and the Gathering up in BDR.

Pete, I think it was posted several pages back - there will be two Corsairs at the show, "Skyboss", which belongs to the AAM, as well as Tom Duffy and his Corsair, "Marine's Dream" coming in for the show. Both will fly over the beach on Saturday, then head up to Bridgeport for the Corsair gathering, returning to FRG Saturday night. They will repeat that schedule on Sunday.
The rumors about a Spitfire are a little off the mark - there will be a Spitfire at the AAM over Labor Day weekend, celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, it will not be here for the Memorial Day show.
The Yankee Air Museum will be providing the B-17 Yankee Lady.Quote:

As per the story below posted by Phil here on NYCAviation:
1964 – Pacific Air Lines Flight 773 crashes in San Ramon California after a suicidal passenger shoots both pilots in-flight. Francisco Gonzales, having financial and marital problems, purchased a .357 Smith & Wesson revolver and even notified friends and family that he’d be dying on May 6th or May 7th. He purchased a $105,000 insurance policy at Stockton Airport (SCK) before boarding the Fokker F-27 Friendship (N2770R) bound for Reno, Nevada. A few minutes after reaching their assigned altitude of 5,000ft, a sound is heard on the radio and the aircraft disappears from radar. The final transmission is determined by investigators to be the First Officer saying “Skipper’s shot. We’ve been shot. I was trying to help.” All 44 on the aircraft perish. The daughter of the the Captain, Julie Clark, goes on to become one of the first female airline Captains herself for Hughes Airwest and Northwest Airlines, and then going on to become an aerobatic pilot.

WINNER!!! Please sent me your Airshow itinarary and times I should NOT call you ie. (do not call after 10PM on sat) and what days you will be by FRG. Friday evening would probably be best but Airshow weekend is very difficult to time. Oh, and no streaking or sitting on top of the Canadian F-18 and waving a 10 gallon hat like Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove :wink:Quote:

Hehehe.... sorry, getting excited! :borat: :borat: :borat: :borat: :borat: :borat: :borat:
I just put in for Thur & Fri off from work. We had a nice little meet up going at the practice show last year. I hope the Blues fly Friday as they didn't a few years ago.
Just over 2 weeks away!!! :D
Just to get everyone in the mood (not that everyone isn't already) for the show, here is my video of the last time I saw the Blues, in Florida last March.

The protesters strike back!
These people never fail.Quote:
The significance of Memorial Day is to honor those who have made the supreme sacrifice in the service of their country. I find it offensive that the Bethpage FCU would host such a grotesque exhibition of military might that does nothing to memorialize the fallen and glorifies war. Honor the dead! Heal the wounded! End War!
I do respect that they have an opinion though.
"I remember the B1 doing a full afterburner pass on Saturday, it was a hazy day, couldnt get a good focus on him, I looked down for a second , and the guy next to me yelled did you see that? I said what, He said the B1 blew some fuel out the back and lit it with the afterburners, that I didnt see, but I also heard he did an unauthorized climb and pissed off the local air controllers, would love to see the B1's back they kick butt, got to be the sexiest lookin beast in the inventory"Quote:

:!: New Highway will be closed from 5/14-5/21 hopefully this will not cause any problems during airshow week :!:
Well since it is next week there shouldnt be any problems. Where are they closing it from? Conklin to 109? Or fromQuote:

Honestly I don't know someone said they just saw signs. My concern is that since the weather next week is supposed to be iffy it will delay the work and it will be on airshow week. Even if you don't plan to spot on New Highway it would make the surrounding areas congested.Quote:

Yeah I guess I was thinking about the worst case scenario. I guess this explains the construction markers.
I do have a question though. Last year I did most of my spotting from New Highway and since most of the planes besides the T-birds were using 19 I found out I had a somewhat better view from the main terminal. So my question is where is it better to spot? New Highway or the terminal?
They can not close all of new hwy, people need to get into SheltAir and the AAM. On the weekends I think they will have partly unpaved areas but should not be an issue.
Saw on Newsday that they will be charging to get in on the Friday of the practice show for the first time. The fee will be $8.
Oh well. But as long as the "headliners" show up it is still better than dealing with the crowds Sat/Sun.
