Gerard: Can you still go over by the grass outside of the fence like you could in years past?

[wunaladreamin]

You sure can Kenny! They didn't even put the privacy slats in the fence yet!

I can't wait for this year's show... 1st time I'll have a 35mm camera!

All that construction by the Dave & Busters parking lot is all complete just in time for the air show!!

Took a swing by there yesterday, actually looks like they improved the sight-lines to the airport. Well done!

So far so good with the viewing through the fence. Though instead of standing on grass you have to stand on a ledge as the grass is all gone. And the parking lot has reopened so you can sit there and still get good views of Runway 1/19.
And hopefully we got all this wet weather out of the way. Less than 2 weeks before all the activity starts to crank up!!

Taking off today from Sheltaire, came right over the AAM.

John Klatt's team just arrived at the museum a few minutes ago at 10:20. A large RV towing a large enclosed trailer, I don't know if they carry the plane in the trailer, if so, they're here, - a week early!

A section of the new wall by the D&B lot has collapsed. One of the lower areas but at least 20 feet long worth. Not sure how.

im sure they will blame it on the amount of people standing up there trying to peek over the fence .. when it really prob has to do with all the rain and improper drainage

Bigger than usual Belmont Stakes Saturday and wonder if we will see a gathering of private/biz jets at FRG?

[moose135]

I wouldn't be surprised, Gerard. May make for some interesting spotting.

It looks like the AAM's C-47 is out and about today.

Yup. I left around 2PM and it had been up since at least 1PM doing take offs and landings on 32, and even a go around here and there.
Never get tired of seeing a Warbird flying!!
