There will be no air show, but the Thunderbirds (F16D Falcons) will do a fly-over Yankee Stadium and over the Hudson River as well as fly-over CitiField. An F-22 Raptor will fly-over Coney Island on Aug. 21 and there will be several concerts around town.
I see they are doing flyovers on sat, sun and tues. Any word on where they will be based at while they are in town?
Never saw any footage on FOX!! I mean they did have the blimp up and could have gottten some nice air-to-air shots!!Quote:

Nice and I like that they used smoke for the Flyover!! I would guess a TFR was setup for the Hudson? Saturday is a prime day for Sightseeing copters and Weekend Warriors!!Quote:

Perhaps Mcguire? I think ACY is too far for them.
BTW, the Blues flew a lot lower. Just saying:wink:
Basically they are telling you to avoid the Hudson corridor between 12:30pm through 2:30pmQuote:

Basically they are telling you to avoid the Hudson corridor between 12:30pm through 2:30pm...and this is today's NOTAM. So I guess they will be flying it again.
Blue are better! Plus they flew out of Republic for their fleet week fly over...Quote:

Sorry i just think the F18 is a nicer looking plane that the F16! And yes i realize it was because they were already in town.Quote:

William, I wish. So I took my 200-400mm f/4, the 70-200mm f/2.8 + TC17, Nikon D3 and D800... no pods, mono or tri... only to find out the Batteries AND the Scanner to be all nice and comfy at home :mad: I keep spare cards in my camera bags at all times as well as a hardened case with 8 cards in my car's glove compartment. Lesson: NOW I HAVE TO also keep spare batteries in my car? LOL. Seriously, for my D3 I have a set of three batteries and one stays on the camera in the bag at all times fully charged. The third battery is old and has been retired to emergency use only. The D800, I still have to score a spare :frown:Quote:
