Hello all...

Well I think I finally got this picture thing sorted out.

i'm so jealous...i never saw a the cat before...i'm afraid i will only see it on static displays and in museums in the future.  ;)

Oh man, that's a shame... the Tomcat demo is really amazing!  Although I hear that since she's so old, and has more g limitations, it isn't quite as impressive as she originally was.  But, nonetheless, its fast, loud, and really squeezes that water out of the air for some great pics!  


And great pics!  My favorite is number two, the waveoff pass.

Yeah...the show was freaking amazing.  It was about 10 mintes long though becuase they had the ceiling restrictions but nonetheless it was absolutely awesome.  A maneuver I did not get to see was the infamous dirty double immelman.  Hook down, flaps down and gear down and they reef it through a series of two immelmans coming out on top about 8,500 to 9,500 feet higher than they started going to same direction as they began.  Full blower maneuver of course so it is very loud!  I have some more but when school slows down and I get some free time on my hands I will post more later.  Oh and by the way, this was the last year for the official Tomcat demo teams.  It is a real bummer but it is true, seeing as all the TOmcat squadrons are transitioning to the new Super Hornet, a very big mistake in my opinion.  Anyways...more to come later though.

Anytime, baby.

I wish i could see a tomcat 'stratt its stuff' I live in England and there never ever over here. I would have expected it would have been to RIAT Fairford but i've never seen one The only time i have ever seen one fly is on Topgun (how sad am i) . I do see F-15 C/D/E's Everyday though, I live 400yrds away from RAF Lakenheath. Excelent shots by the way!
