Thousands flocked to Jones Beach State Park over Memorial Day weekend for the Four Leaf Air Show, which featured breathtaking aerial performances and sky-high patriotism.
Headlining the show were the United States Air Force Thunderbirds, who returned to Long Island with their precision flying and signature diamond formation. Also soaring above the crowds were the United States Army Golden Knights, who parachuted onto the beach, and the United States Marines F-35B demonstration team, showcasing the jet’s advanced maneuverability.
Long Island native Dave Windmiller thrilled spectators with aerobatic stunts in his Zivko Edge 540 aircraft.
The event, hosted by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and sponsored by FourLeaf Federal Credit Union, drew large crowds again this year. Last year’s show welcomed more than 350,000 attendees.
The Four Leaf Air Show continues to be one of the region’s most anticipated Memorial Day weekend traditions for Long Islanders on the South Shore.
