one of the highlights of the show came from the Super Hornet. a few of us navy vet wingnuts were there, and we all hoped for, but didnt expect any planes to break mach 1, but we all hoped that if one did, it would be the hornet (first time demo for the super bug at willow grove).....well, he came close several times. however, at the very end, just past the viewing area, he hit mach 1 briefly. immediately, we were all there cheering, and as soon as he hit mach, he went vertical immediately. we got an FAA violation!! SWEET!!! !! GO NAVY!!!! anyway......


Super Hornet and Corsair heritage flight.

and a B-2 did a fly-over that was a total surprise by most of us too far from the loud speakers.....
