The air show at Jones Beach this year is a little lacking in that the Canadian Snowbirds and the French aerial acrobatic team are not coming. (Joke all you want but watching a bunch of prop jobs does get old not to mention that without those two acts there is a lot of down time.) It seems that when its the Blue Angels turn, its a much grander show and the Navy isn't afraid to share the spotlight. Whatever. Just my annual reminder to anyone going. Unless you have an oceangoing boat leave it at the dock or in your driveway. I went the first two years by boat and sat in Zachs Bay. You can't see the inverted passes or the NYANG PJs jump into the ocean or the Golden Knights parachutists, etc. etc. from the bay unless maybe from the flying bridge of a 40 footer and then you ought to be in the ocean to start with. In addition you are a 1/4 mile or more further away from the action no matter where you are in the bay. Suck it up and leave the self defense items at home and join 200000 other brave souls on the beach.
