2 F22's at ISP

[emshighway]

I have been advised there will be two F22's coming into ISP Thursday night for the Memorial Day Airshow.

FRG runways too short for these brand-new airplanes?

Interesting...The demo team is supposed to be based at Westhampton, so who are these guys?

These are the air show guys. Apparently they had "issues" with the field at Gabreski.

Would be nice to go out there and spot them but after two of the members here were "questioned".... might not be a good idea.

According to my source, they obviously will have heavy security. Guards around the aircraft 24/7.
But...if I can catch them when they arrive...if they land on 24, they will taxi right past my office.
No guards then. :borat:

F-22's are here!!!! 3 Flyby's before finally landing on Runway 24, taxi'd via "S" to Sheltair for parking.
This was the perfect config for me, if only the sky was better. I'll work on the photos tonight and post 'em up. Definitely the highlight of my year so far!
