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!

Bah, that's not a proper tanker! Wink Grin

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

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". Wink
