FourLeaf airshow preview roaring in overhead
As crowds packed the boardwalk, a preview of FourLeaf's airshow was starting in the sky above Jones Beach.
An errant Blue Angel jet zoomed over the beach on Friday morning, seemingly at random. As beachgoers towed wagons and umbrellas, a jumbo C-130 flew above.
Helicopters also conducted a practice search and rescue operation, which will be part of the weekend airshow.
The air show is set to run on Sunday and Monday, though it could face delays or cancellation if rain or cloud cover develops.
From the air show to the fireworks, see what to expect this weekend at Jones Beach here.
