    Why are they stationed at KISP? Security?

    The F-22 Demo has been officially confirmed by ACC!

    Also the recent ICAS schedule confirmed it will be VFA 106 who will do the F-18 Demo. They fly the F/A-18C and F/A-18F.'

    http://www.nyasinfo.com is now updated with 2012 airshow information.

    FYI- the only flying SB2C HELLDIVER in the World from the CAF is scheduled to be at Jones Beach also. For all you Warbird fans, it's sure going to be a treat seeing that RARE aircraft up close at the AAM

    I DO like the warbirds :) The Helldiver isn't the prettiest, but it's a nice opportunity to such a rare bird! Hey, we should all try & meet up as a group at the AAM one of the days, we'll mob everything :)

    Well, some of the prettiest Legacy Flight photos in 2011 to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of Naval Aviation, included an F/A-18C Hornet in the colors of a WWII Helldiver unit as it joined the world's only airworthy Helldiver in the skies above Central California. Hopefully they'll schedule a special Legacy flight over Jones Beach with the Helldiver and Super Hornet along with Dan Dameo in the Corsair also.
    Here are the photo links of that CoNA Hornet and Helldiver:
    (BTW, the Hornet should look familiar, Isaac!!)

    Sure does Chris. Great photos by the way.

    That would be an awesome Legacy flight!

    Always loved that Pacific blue paint scheme. The Corsair will always be my favorite warbird though.

    I remember my very first WWII airshow display at Republic back in the early 90's. No Corsair, but they did have a Heinkel HE 111. That was awesome! Need to dig those up.

    As I mentioned last fall..

    I spoke with Ed Hamill at Macdill in October & he is VERY happy to be coming back to Jones Beach. He tore up the skies in Tampa like he's not missed a show. Got hard ass kick music this year & his flying reflects the tone set.

    His new sponser has the plane looking sharp as hell. Can't wait to see him do his thing!
    EVERYONE IS THERE TO SEE THE SHERPA!

    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".
