Spooling up the four tremendous engines, she begins her thrust foward for it's display.

...


She thrusts upward above the tree tops to start its fly-bye.

...


From the cockpit on approach.

...


She flies over our heads.......

...


As she completes her landing.

I have no idea!!!! Sorry Cherokee, I didn't even realize I had it until the other day when I "stumbled" on her in the hanger looking for some Capt. Morgans. Heard there was this wild man out in the woods walking on fire lookin for a partner!!! LOL.
I think maybe I got it here under vintage!

Best day I had there was when I got to see both the red tail and the white tail land in succession....after one did a final water drop to reduce his landing weight ..... 8)

Thanks Space Ace. Here is the up-date on those locations.....

ROOSEVELT FIELD. This entire place is now a huge Mall called....you guessed it "Roosevelt Field Mall". Not a hint of aviation anyplace. The last part of Roosevelt Field was sold to some developers 2 years ago and it looks as if a Home Depot and Targer are now siitnig ontop of this historical place.   Sad

GRUMMAN. I have worked on the Grumman properties for years. Been all over the place. Needed clearance and everything. Sorry to say that the entire runway has been removed and there are now 188 condominiums sitting on top of where the historical jets used to take off from!!   The only thing left at the Grumman location is a few buildings that house alot of the defense design systems. But it is really incredible to walk the grounds and buildings and see and read about all the history that was a part of Grumman.   Sad

FLOYD BENNET FIELD. This little gem was the only place that was not totally destroyed by the money hungry developers. It has become a park, sports field, and picnic area. There is no trace of aviation except some asphalt in one area that represents some sort of runway.   Sad

Dave
