I'm in Bridgeport, Ct. so anyplace in NY city would be close.
On June 3, 4, and 5th we will be having the corsairs over Ct. get together. 9 of the F4U Corsairs will be coming home to Sikorsky Memorial Airport where they were built during WWII. The web page for it is http://www.veteranssalute.org . They are supposed to be getting a few other WWII aircraft as well. If anyone wants to get together for this I am game for it.

P.S. Some of the WWII aces will be there also along with pilots from the Black Sheep squadron.

The Sussex air show is always a good time.

Its a small local field that puts on a good show.

I live in In Terryville, Long Island, just south of Port Jefferson.

My wife and I visit the 56th FG restaurant about twice a year. I agree that it would be a good choice. Those living in New England can grab the Bridgeport-Port Jefferson ferry. The restaurant is about 40 minutes from the ferry landing.

Those coming from NYC or New Jersey, getting there is extremely direct. LIE east to Rte 110 south, watch for sign after you pass Conklin Street. Entrance is on the left (or east) side of Rte 110.

My regards,

Widewing

I'm figuring late summer early fall to do this right.

Sussex air show would be cool 3rd week of august, but no accomidations or bars nearby.

But I do have an Idea. and its a no brainer.
