Just a little more anticipation...


F-16, F-15, and an F-14... and something interesting in the background...

     


This magnificent T-28 did not perform in the show...

     

But this one did.

     


As did this perfect T-6... looks great in raw aluminum.

     




Looks like the Sabre may be performing... joy!!

     


This is going to be quite a show... the WWII aircraft in full effect...

     



Keep it down, guys- the F-104 needs her beauty sleep...we'll see more of that later.

     


Number 5 parked his F-18 a few feet ahead of the others... I am appalled!




Next: Part 7: Otto the Helicopter, B25, and P51!!

Now this looks interesting.

Keep'em coming!!!

Please tell me the P-51 flew escort for the B-25!!

huh- you may be right... but I was going by the shape of the intakes. The engine nozzle layout is the dead giveaway, but not in this shot, of course.
Are there variants of the -15 with different intakes?

There may be, I'm no expert, the thing that makes me think it's not an F14 is the vertical tailplanes and horizontal wings, the F14 lways looked a little more 'rounded' with an outwards slant to the tailplanes

Do the F15 intakes vary angle at the top in operational conditions?

Or it's an A and C model.


- Edit:
Nada.

The intakes are swept forward from bottom to top, in order to ensure that an adequate amount of air is admitted to the engines at high angles of attack. The intakes are pivoted at their lower edges and can be adjusted in flight to angles of as much as 4 degrees above or 11 degrees below the horizontal.

Thanks, I had a thought in the back of my mind that may be the case  :)

Yep.

The F-15's Intakes angle themselves to get the best amount of airflow for the engines  ;)

Those are both F-15's  ;D

Very nice shots!

number 3 def rocks my world
