19ds agoThe popular FourLeaf Air Show returned Saturday to Jones Beach!
The show features all different kinds of military and civilian jets streaking across the sky for the crowd's enjoyment.
The show kicked off at 10 a.m. with a parachute jump.
George Gorman with New York State Parks says more than 100,000 people on average usually attend the show, but they expect fewer this year because of the weather.
“If you’re afraid of traffic, if you’re afraid of the overcrowded airshow, this is the weekend to come. Traffic is light, we anticipate that for tomorrow Sunday as well,” said Gorman.
