    Some or most of the Navy ships will probably dock in the former Navy Staten Island Homeport.

    The carrier will probably dock up near where the Intrepid pier is being recostructed.

    Most of the aircraft will return to wherever they came from.

    I was out there this morning and it was pretty disappointing. Only 5 types and a total of 8 aircraft flew by:

    P-3C
    E-2 Hawkeye
    EA-6 Prowler
    Four F/A-18 Hornets
    An unmarked white blimp which I'm guessing is a Navy reconnaissance platform

    Also, only three Navy ships, all similar looking destroyers.

    I got some good shots of the few things there were to shoot...I won't have time to edit them until later today or tomorrow.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
