PHOTOS & VIDEO [UPDATED 11:50PM] Thousands today camped out at the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst for the Airshow, a first in four years. The event – which also offered an open-house – celebrated nearly 100 years of defending the nation.
Over a dozen historic aircrafts were on display for poeple to get an up-close look at.
The aerial show included performance from Golden Knights paratroopers, Air Force Thunderbirds, B-1 Bombers, F-18 Super Hornets, Raiders and more.
Any way that you could post such events before they happen?
I would’ve loved to take my kids to see it.
Thanks.
Ya same here, I’m so disapointed that I didn’t know about it. Where was it advertised?
Reply to #1,#2: I commend TLS for not posting events that are not ‘oisgehalten’ on the heimishe standards of the Ihr Hatorah of Lakewood. If you read the non-kosher papers- I am sure you will note a lot of non-kosher events that take place on a steady basis around the area. I think there should be at least one media outlet we can trust!
The benefits of the internet….
i was there and there was nothing not ‘oisgehalten’
So why post it afterwards?
Might this encourage some to read “the non-kosher papers”?
your kids didnt lose anything by not watching this
i was there it was so goyish so much not tznis people bh it wasnt adveertised
Be happyyou didn’t see it advertised. The papers said it would be open until 6pm but they stopped letting people in at 2:45. I drove the 45 minutes there with my kids and they didn’t get to see anything, oisgehalten or otherwise.
Right it’s sooo goyish to go out and support the men and women (who allow you to have the wonderful right’s and privilege’s you have in this country) who took the day away for their family’s on Mothers Day no less. Yeah that’s goyish.
Maybe you shouldn’t ever leave Lakewood so you can avoid the not tznis people while your at it.
To those that were asking: it was advertised in the Asbury Park Press for weeks..and on the news channels..as well they started advertising in late March for the event after they had all their plans in order..It was a great day..for Moms and Families alike..
thanks for taking my blog out . talk about bias.. A VETERAN WHO DUCKED BULLETS FOR YOU..so you could have all these freedoms.
I was there and it was a very special event. The children and grandchildren all had a great time. There was a huge open expanse of sky on the airfield with very few clouds and the day was gorgeous for an air show. The display of aircraft in the sky and on the ground was spectacular. The children really enjoyed going into the planes. These are just like the planes we see passing over our houses every day , now we know what they look like inside. Even during the loud parts of the show when the planes really sped by, there was someone giving out ear pieces to block the sound. It was a great event and lots of frum people sat close around us with their families. We all loved it.
How often do they have this event?
i was there it was a gr8 show it was just amazing to see all the military planes in action. Thank you to all who helped organize it.
May god bless all our troops
they were running ahead of schedule the last show was over at 3:50 and by 4:30 they sent everybody out
to #9 If you live in lakewood, it does not take 45min to get there, it takes 20min to get to popcorn park zoo.
It takes 40min to get there. Popcorn zoo is not in that direction
It was a great show, we all enjoyed it! Thank you USAF (and the rest of the army) for all your service!
In the good old days the (moderated) used to regularly take us to these performances for Lag Bo’Omer trips.
freedom of choice
we are all individuals and can deside for ourselves if we go somewhere or not. i don’t need people telling me its go you didn’t go.
these people should worry about themselves.
ALL THE PEOPLE WHO SERVE OUR COUNTRY SHOULD BE SUPPORT BY ALL. THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR OUR SAFETY & FREEDOM.
TLS I don’t really care which side you are on but please be consistent – if it is good enough to post after the fact then you can post earlier to let us know about it. If you feel it shouldn’t be posted then there is no reason for posting after the fact.
to #21
Yeah Why not? I also think that TLS should definitly post EVERYTHING before the fact! We may not see ANY crime in Lakewood anymore!! (Hence, not have what to write about…)
Like all those drunk drivers before they hit anything/one or all those other exciting things those criminals out there are about to do!
Cummon! Are you naarish or just haakin’??
The SCHI Sunday program was there with me yesterday
On a positive note a Major came over to me today at staff meeting and told me how thrilled he was to see so many “Hassidic” jews at the Air Show on Sunday. He pointed out to me that there weren’t any on Saturday and he knew that it was because of the Sabbath. He said that he spoke to many of them and what a favorable impression they made on him. What a Kiddush Hashem!
