for all you aviation enthusiasts heres something cool for you. The Blue Angels will be at Republic Airport in Farmingdale, NY. Come check it out. ill be there on sunday if anyone wants to meet up, we can maybe get a whole bunch of Z's.

Walk down in front of Terminal 1:00PM Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Takeoff from Republic Airport 1:30PM Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Practice Show Jones Beach 2:00 PM Thursday and Friday
Actual Show Jones Beach 2:00 PM Saturday and Sunday

The team returns to Republic about 1 hour after departure so if you watch them takeoff stick around for the landing. They do a maneuver called the "pitch up break" after flying down the runway prior to landing; quite impressive!

 

what dates?

 

today, tomorrow,sat,sun. ill be there at 12:30 with lemieux ( the kid with the volks that night)

itll be held at the main terminal by the control tower

 

nice i think i'll go, i've always been a fan of them, was always my dream to fly an F-16 though

 

i fly single engines planes , but dont go as fast as the f-16's,a lso i think they use f-18s.

i know your from the area...did you see them today? they were doing some practice approaches and manuevers. those things are LOUD

 

yeah they use f-18's but i love f-16's. theres a stunt group for them too, i forgot the name tho. I'm gonna try and make it there, look for me on AIM.. loops088. I wanna talk to you about this. thanks

 

i think they are called the fighting falcons.

i went to the airport last night to see the planes, sick, all i gotta say. im a pilot at that airport so i got onto the ramp. AND on the way back to my car i found 100 $ bill!!

ill look for you on AIM

 

i thought they were flying to jones beach at 11 and 3

 

Its the Air Force Thunderbirds. The fighting falcons is the airforce academy's football team.

 

autostream your correct, the air show is from 11-3, but the blue angles will appear at 2. i just found that out last night.
