2009 Jones Beach Airshow - US Army Golden Knights' C-31

US Army Golden Knights
C-31 Troopship

2009 Jones Beach Airshow
Jones Beach State Park
Jones Beach, New York
Saturday May 23, 2009

IN THIS VIDEO, the Golden Knights could not jump as a result of the VERY high winds that were blowing out from the east on Saturday. So, instead of jumping, the C-31 Troopship made two passes down the shore line before returning to Republic Airport. You will also see an HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopter make a pass down the beach as well - that pass occuring before 10:00 am.

I apologize for the quality of the video, as the high winds and cooler than expected temperatures caught me off-guard, and while dressed for summer-like weather, I was freezing, and the effects of that can be seen in the video (a lot of shake - similar to if I was shooting with the HC52, even though I was using the FX7).

Like what you've seen? If you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take the time to check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .

No. Someone definitely parachuted on Saturday. I was there. I saw it.

Wait, if the Golden Knights didn't parachute on Saturday, then who did?
