Fred, where did you hear that info, and did they all depart tonight ?? Because the last I heard from rkfast who talked to a Snowbird Team member down at the Beach on Friday was that they weren't scheduled to depart until Tues. morning ??Quote:

I personally saw #7 depart this afternoon... maximum performance takeoff ;-)
BA 1-6 were sitting when I left and #1 had engines covered as if it would sit for the night. #5 had the left wheel replaced while the pilots signed autographs!
All Blues are Gone. I got video of the departure sometime after 6 pm. Snowbirds had covers over the fronts of each aircraft when I departed. I would say its a safe bet they were staying at least for one more night.Quote:

Saw on AAM FB page lots of Warbirds going up starting around 11:15AM. Heading over to D&B lot now!!
When I left the airport this morning we still had here;
Prowler - Tuesday AM
Snowbirds - Tuesday AM
B-17 Yankee Lady - ???
HellDiver - ????
The Zero - ????
Any others?
Zero was leaving this afternoon - I departed the AAM around 4pm, and he was preparing to launch, fly one low pass, then head for home. Yankee Lady is departing Tuesday morning.
Flight Aware shows the B 17 as leaving in about twenty minutes at 8:30 AM
F-22s just departed kisp
Snowbirds and Prowler are pre flighting canopies up pilots at planes
B-17 still at AAM
Snowbirds 1-3 just launched
Six more Snowbirds took off Still waiting on the Prowler
B-17 Engines turning. Prowler still sitting W/canopy up
B-17 turning props
Prowler maning up & starting engines. Should be going shortly.
OK looks like both the B-17 and the Prowler should both be going off shortly
B-17 has left
They're having problems with the GPU @ the Prowler. They're out of here as soon as the get it fired up.
This may be it. The Prowler is moving off the ramp
Prowler is shut down and will be here overnight
This whole week has been a real clusterf*** spotting military aircraft at FRG for me, so why should it end now ??!!:wink: Anyway, I'll try again to catch the Prowler's departure in the morning. BTW, any word about what time ??
I guess once they figure out what's wrong and how to fix it...Quote:

Rumour atthe fence from the crew was anytime tomorrow morning after 6:00AM
What about the Helldiver?
Prowler went wheels up around 8:20am
