Blue Angels to use Republic Airport as base for Memorial Day weekend air show
As part of the Memorial Day weekend air show slated for Jones Beach, Republic Airport, Farmingdale, will be hosting the United States Navy's precision demonstration team, the Blue Angels. The first F-18 of this world famous team will touch down at Republic on Wednesday, May 21st with the rest of the aircraft arriving Thursday, May 22nd and departing Sunday, May 25th. Their activities are expected to produce an unusual amount of jet noise as their aircraft are military-rated Hornets with the capability of using afterburners.
The Blue Angels will perform over Jones Beach as featured aircraft in the Bethpage Federal Credit Union Air Show that honors our active duty servicemen and women and our nation's veterans.
Children should be informed of the aircrafts' arrival and purpose so they are not startled by their flight into the region, the jet noise they produce or their anticipated flights to and from the south shore of Long Island.
During their stay, the Blue Angels will be based at Republic Airport, located off Route 110. The public may view the F-18 aircraft from the airport terminal. Other military aircraft, including a B-17, will be based at the American Airpower Museum at Republic Airport adjacent to New Highway.
