Fabulous series George.  I had no idea the Red Arrows performed that far from home.  Have you any idea how they get there, sounds a little ignorant sorry, but didn't think they had the range to fly from UK.   They use a local to us airfield (RAF Shawbury) as a base for many of the UK airshows and we often watch them from the bottom of our garden, always exciting to see.

Thanks Jayne, here's something I found about it a few days ago;

Viewers can expect to see multiple iconic aircraft formations flying by the Manhattan skyline in a sequenced display of teamwork and airmanship.

WHAT: A 6-ship Thunderbird Delta Formation will fly over the Hudson River along the Manhattan skyline in sequence with a 6-ship Blue Angel Formation, a 9-ship Red Arrow formation, and a 2-ship F-35A Lightning II formation. Fans are encouraged to come out and post their best photos on social media tagged with #hudsonflight.

WHEN: The mission will occur at approximately 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, August 22, 2019.

WHERE: All aircraft will follow the Hudson River down to Liberty Island, then proceed back up the river. The Thunderbirds will return to Rochester International Airport, while the remaining aircraft will recover at Stewart Airport.

WHY: The Thunderbirds, Blue Angels and Red Arrows are performing demonstrations in the vicinity of New York on August 24-25, which offered the historic opportunity to showcase these elite flying teams together over the Manhattan skyline in a sequenced in a display of teamwork and airmanship.

We spend Summers in a family compound, six cabins full of cousins etc. Not quite the same as The Kennedy's.

We let the children run wild back in the Eighties and Nineties. No helmets, we could just hear them pounding nails.

They all survived.....Airline captains, Psychiatric Nurse, Teachers, Geologist Mountain Climber, Mountain Bikers.

Not a great photograph in itself, but the colours in the lichen and vegetation were just wonderful, even in a drizzly grey day.

Jelly Fish in the Monterey Aquarium with the 55-135. First, pretty much out of camera; then converted to B&W with a few modifications in PS, just for fun.

Not too fond of the B&W, sorry. That jellyfish exhibit is all about color. But I love the first one!!!

I was fortunate enough to get a behind the scenes tour of the aquarium. Many of their exhibits were groundbreaking. The big tank, was the biggest in the world when it was constructed. It's a sight to see at feeding time. . . I just wish I had my CL when I went in 2000.
