They're here!!!!!!

[BigTruck]

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.

[BigTruck]

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".

I love to see Fat Albert with JATOs attached.  :D

Ive never even seen a display teams well not jet ones... on Roullettes and Black KNights (The WWII planes group with hellcats (i think) and F-8F and some T-6 Texans and stuff)

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

#2 You can't do it all the time (i would love to see it aswell)

Just wait and maybe next time you will see it

[an-225]

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.
