Did you notice the roll the B-1 did at the end of it's routine?  Holy cow, that was awesome to see!

I work on the base and I saw it both days!  One of my fav parts simply because it is not a plane you see all the time.  Plus showing its immense size yet its insane capabilities..... it was breathtaking.... will be very hard for them to top that this year.  Id love if there was a b2 or some f22s now that could possibly top it for me!

hope so. if you see it post it up.

camera is worthless without the tripod (or at least the monopod)... the damn thing weighs over 15# with the big lens on it!

 

Amazingly, I remembered.   The web link for the show is up: http://www.jbmdlspecialevents.com

 

And it includes a link to what you can and can't bring on base:  http://www.jbmdlspecialevents.com/what-to-bring

 

I'm looking forward to the show.

I did grow up at McGuire AFB before it was JB MDL... with the old man in the Air Force I got to see a lot of air shows over the years. Trying to get him to go again.

 

If you're really looking to see the Blue Angels, they're flying up in Rhode Island next month on the 17th and 18th.

Next time the Angels will be in Jersey is summer 2015 at the AC show on the beach.  Pretty good show but there are little vendors and no statics.  Still a really cool show on the beach.

I been to a few but 2 air shows I went to there were crashes and people died. Don't go anymore. The one when I was around 13yrs old about 27 years ago the plane crash was close enough I felt the heat and debris hitting us. Really screwed up my birthday party we were having there. We did goto to the Redbull thing in NY harbor a few years ago, almost forgot about that one

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
