2011 Jones Beach Airshow & Republic Airport Coverage

Well I hope you guys enjoyed this airshow week celebration as much as I did. The show today was amazing and there was a Navy Legacy Flight with two F-18′s and a F4U Corsair! Also I hope you guys found the site useful as I tried my best to keep it up to date. I am welcome to any suggestions. Also the Memorial Day celebration isn’t over yet because the American Airpower Museum is having their annual Memorial Day Celebration from 9AM-5PM so I hope you guys go there and enjoy. I will still update the site with post airshow information (if there is any) but I will start winding down the site this week but it will be back up in Q4 2011 for 2012 airshow updates!

With airshow week coming up I felt like now was the right time to let my viewers know about a possible safety issue at Republic Airport. Each year hundreds of people watch and photograph planes taking off and landing from New Highway. But what many people don’t know is that on Wednesday May 26th, 2010 just before the arrival of Blue Angel #7 there was a major car accident in which a car went off the road and hit into New Highway spectators which sent two people into the hospital and they are still recovering from their injuries to this day. I do  have some recommendations  to help  prevent this from happening again. One method is to find a new safer location especially if you have small children with you . NYC Aviation’s Republic Airport spotting guide is a great resource to find a safer place. The American Airpower Museum will also have its Memorial Day Celebration during airshow week and it also provides a safer place to watch the planes, for more information visit. If you still decide to watch the planes from New Highway the only recommendation I can give to you is to be careful and be aware of your surroundings at all times, if you are driving on New Highway it’s tempting to look up at the planes but remember to keep your eyes on the road!

This post is not meant to scare anyone, give anyone a panic attack, or to discourage anyone from participating in airshow or Memorial Day festivities. This is meant to make people aware and possibly save lives.

During airshow week I will put the following note at the end off all posts:

***CAUTION*** WHEN SPOTTING AND/OR DRIVING ON NEW HIGHWAY DURING AIRSHOW WEEK EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION.  BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS AND IF YOU HAVE SMALL CHILDREN FIND ANOTHER PLACE TO VIEW THE PLANES FROM. ACCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED!***CAUTION***

Remember to be careful! Photo courtesy of: Fred Miller / www.longislandwallpapers.com
