2024 Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach Park

What time does the A-10 usually go up for the airshow. I am hoping to catch the helicopter landing and then head to farmingdale .

I was gonna do the same thing, I’m guessing schedule is coming today or tomorrow

Anyone know what time practice starts?

What I was told is that the F-22s and all variants of the F-35 require armed security at the jets at all times

Last year at the KC show, they had round-the-clock security for the 22's and 35B's and I heard it was mostly local PD.

I've seen both local and military security forces providing security for F-22s and/or F-35s at civilian airports. The local PD folks love it because it's overtime for them; I'm sure the airshow has to pay for that.

What time does the A-10 usually go up for the airshow. I am hoping to catch the helicopter landing and then head to farmingdale .

In my years of going to this show (which aren't as many as some of you), the USAF demos typically take place anywhere between 12:30 and 1:30. I would imagine they'd take to the skies about 10-15 minutes prior to their demo times on the beach.

Anyone know what time practice starts?

This is a 10-3 airshow on Saturday and Sunday. The same times apply for the Friday practice and rehearsal. There's also a TFR for today from 11:45-2 and another for 3-4:30. Since this is a Blue Angels year there's no doubt in my mind that's for their survey flights and practice.

Thanks, is everything flying for practice?

I'd like to say yes, but I honestly have no idea. Most airshows (even the beach airshows) typically don't provide any details about Friday's activities, and I imagine we won't see anything unless someone posts insider information.

The one time I was at Jones Beach for the entire weekend all of the acts did fly on Friday. All other times have either been just one day or just Saturday & Sunday.

Who and what is in the Legacy Flight? NOT a dumb question, I can't find a who'll be there and what warbird they'll be flying in formation with the F-35Cs.

If all goes well, the Navy Legacy Flight should be Louis Horschel flying his Corsair with the F-35C Demo team,
but I'm not sure if the Legacy Flight will be flown during the Friday practice show also?
