I am in the process of deciding if i'm going or not.

Currently in Baltimore.....will be there sometime Friday afternoon, and Saturday for the JSOH air show. Plan for Sunday is to spot at Gravelly Park prior to going back home.

Nice :) Im leaving tomorrow early morning, hope to see Gravelly park in use cuz I need some spotting :) Saturday and Sunday I'll be at Andrews :)

I know I will see Mark and Manny :) Eric if you decide to go let one of us know :) We will creat NYCAviation Gang :)

Drive safe guys, Mark I will txt u tomorrow :)

B-29 is worth seeing!

Looks like i'm going. Be down there sometime tomorrow.

I saw FIFI last week at Langley :)

So I hope to see you Eric at Langley or Gravelly Park on Friday

I was the original instigator so I will be there unless my car breaks down on the way :-) Heading down to D.C. after work so will be at Holiday Inn near Air and Space by 9pm or so. Sat. at the show, Sun., Udvar-Hazy Center and Gravely and then the long sad drive back to NYC.

I'll be at a Best Western to the North East of Town, about 10 minutes from FedEx Field.

Does anyone know when FedEx Field ops/shuttle service begins?

Manny...........according to the website:

SHUTTLE HOURS FROM FEDEX
Buses will transport from FedEx Field to Andrews from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

See you gentlemen either Friday or for sure on Saturday!

Have a blast guys !!!

Guys don't go to fedex field !!!!!!!!!! BRANCH AVE METRO STATION thats the place you wanna be early in the morning on Saturday. Trust me I have been at andrews sow many times and thats the best way to get in and out without bigger problems.

There is huge parking lot, no problems with traffic. DRIVE SAFE

Eric Im staying at Country INN which is located oin the other side of the street from Best Western I think...

Im heading to Gravelly Park (if in use) around 2 pm maybe little later depend on Hotel checkin availability

SEE YA ALL THERE !

Chris, I used it once when I took the Metro :-) I did not know they had allowed parking for cars ... I'll reconsider FedEx vs. Branch Ave around 6:00am on Sat lol...

Manny trust me Branch ave is the place to be it's not that crowdy and u will avoid all traffic and ther is lots of parking area. Hope to see u guys at branch ave station parking tomOrrow. I'm at gravelly park now catching departures. Txt me on fb if u planning to stop by.

A few from Friday's show, more to come...........

I just wanna say this : F-35 Baby !

Poor light but better this than nothing :)

That's AWESOME the F-35 made a surprise appearance at the show !! :cool:
I hope they send one up to the Jones Beach show next week also? !! :wink:
BTW, that's just wishful thinking because I know that's NEVER going to happen:tongue:

I wouldn't expect that sorry.....

Maybe Millwille, NJ cuz it will be a navy air show, and maybe Patuxent River and Oceana....

Great stuff Fred! Here are some of mine from Friday (I was only able mostly get static displays since I arrived late in the afternoon). More to come!!!

Thanks Manny, You had great shots as always. I was really impressed by the amount of statics they had on display. I really liked the USAF V-22 and the E/A-18. The War Birds were very popular, I couldn't get a clean shot of FIFI at all. Hopefully this week.

A few of the Thunderbirds

Please refrain from using "Baby" with the F-35, that is reserved for "TOMCATS!"

Nice shots.

F-35 flying? Maybe it is a sign of the apocalypse after all :biggrin:

Great shots, guys!

Here is my first batch of shots from the airshow.

All I can say is I am even more pissed once I heard that the F-35 flew that I had to miss this show :mad:

Brandon, yyou did NOT miss much.. really... it was a really quick fly by, a single pass, high, far, backlit... not worth it photographically at least.. and not enjoyable enough. To say you have bragging rights you saw it? ok fine, but not much more in my opinion :-).

Wow Chris, this is just epic man... how the _ did you get this?

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2208/...09d21cfd_o.jpg

I didn't even notice they do this move!! is this a new routine?

Manny I had this picture in my had for about 4 years :) and finally got it !! now I wanna catch this moment in better light of course... so far for me this is my best picture of 2011. There is few reasons why I love this picture :)

This is FLAT BOMB BURST they do this maneuver when preforming LOW SHOW, it's instead of High Bomb Burst. at Andrews was just perfect cuz the weather was good and light was not bad, but the clouds have been to low for High Show. I think only better monet to catch this will be Nellis but there is usually not enough clouds for Low Show :) I have one more picture in my head hope to catch it in next few years :) Im hunting for good "vapor" weather and blue sky :)

Manny thank you for your kind words you know it means a lot to me man ! Hope to see you soon !
