I was not in quite the right spot, especially when the MiG-17, B-24, P-51s and P-40 flew by, but I got some decent snaps of some of the others... hope they're not too crappy.


USN EC-2 and C-2a strut their stuff in formation:

     



Always nice to see a Hellcat in the air!

     



Intruder and Super Hornet demonstrate  "buddy" refueling...

     


A solo pass by the Hornet.

     


Another rarity: a flying "Sandy". What a beast!

     



If this Bearcat had only dropped a wing for me... sigh...

     


A flock of Navy birds: F-16, F-18, and two F-5 "adversaries".




Next: It's nice to be a winner!

Looks like a Prowler behind that F-18........not that I'm gettin picky.....I'm just envious of you for getting to see all these in the air.....

Yikes- you're right... my bad.  :-[

Bah, that's not a proper tanker!

I've recently come across a very amusing photo of a very large tanker aircraft refuelling buddy-buddy from an A-4!

Love the Sandy!!!!!

Love the Sandy!!!!!

Sounded great, too...  but it was too far away to feel it in your belly.

Great shots!  Looks like you had fun.   [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Only one Navy bird in the last one, the Hornet. -16 are USAF and I don't think the Navy ever flew the F-5.

Nice shots though.

The Navy has used the F-5 and F-16 for training, including to simulate likely adversaries. Think "Top Gun".
