Ok, so I'm cruising around base the other day right? And I hear some distant rumbling, not the usual P3 or C17 rumble I usually hear around here, so I decide to investigate and take a ride to the flight line, and sure enough, the day I have been waiting for is getting closer...Blues on the Bay!!!! More pics to come this weekend, got front row tickets and my camera is ready!
Bonus : The pilots are gonna be at the Enlisted club Saturday, so with any luck I'll be having a beer with the Navy's finest this weekend, and maybe talk number 7 into taking me for a spin ::)

They won't. They did the last JATO at KSNS a few weeks ago.

Cool! The Angels are coming to Ft. Worth in a couple of weekends. I'm not real sure if I am going yet or not, but hopefully everything will work out to where I can. I've seen them do the JATO on the C-130 at the same air show several years ago. Pretty cool stuff.

Yeah I've seen the JATO a few times too, it's wicked! Sad to hear that they wont do it here, but maybe we'll get lucky. They've been practicing a lot today and their turn around points are over my apartment so we been getting buzzed a lot today haha it's great!

Go on Google or youtube and type in "JATO".

Why did they stop using the JATO? I was disappointed that they didn't use it at an airshow I attended earlier this year.

Examples of JATO include, late model Lockheed Neptunes, late Convair B-36s, late K/B-29s, K/B-50s, and the K/C-97.
Now RATO, the LC-47, C-130T, LC-130, Mirage III, Mirage IV and B-47 are some examples.
