I am off Friday the 26th, Will be heading over for the Practice Airshow, If it is anything like last year you should have the beach to yourself.

yeah, I was there last year Friday and it was dead. I hope it stays that way with it advertised on the site.

we'll see what happens. I might just want to see their arrival. Might even try to shoot from our skylight in the office, or even the roof LOL

Does anyone know their take off time from FRG for that Friday? I think I'll have to take my lunch then.

**SCOTYDEMCO** · 05-16-2006, 02:13 PM

Friday they are doing a full practice show at the beach, so I would check the website for the Sat and Sun time slots of each demo.

**GrummanFan** · 05-16-2006, 02:50 PM

They will be doing thier practice show at the same time as they will be doing the real show (2:15). My guess for takeoff time on Friday would be around 2:00.

How is the light for photography? I would think that it's backlit with the sun to the south and the planes over the water, no?

Phil,

here are shots from Blue Angels two years ago.

depending on the angle of the aircraft, you should be able to get some good light.

I agree, the lighting isn't bad. Hope for bright sun, blue skies, try different angles as the day passes, you should have some good shots. As soon as I get a new computer, you will have an abundant amout of my photos. :D
