Earlier today I heard a rumor that two Blue Angels F/A-18′s were going to make do a fly-by over New York. Fellow New York aviation geek Robert Cigliano tweeted that the Blue Angels had just been cleared for takeoff at nearby Farmingdale Republic Airport. Not one to miss the opportunity to go planespotting, so I grabbed my camera and ran out the door. Sure I was on the wrong side of the city, and maybe I was using the wrong lens, but the pictures turned out alright. Here’s what we saw from Brooklyn.

The slideshow doesn’t work? Thanks for sharing though!
You’re right, its broken. Guess I have some site maintenance to do.
Great shots (considering the lack of advanced warning)! I would have loved to have gotten a shot with them and the new WTC building
Thanks. I’ll bet there will be an opportunity for that sort of thing shortly after it opens. I’ll have to look into that.
