Super Hornet Demo At Willow Grove 2006

At AirFest 2006 held at NAS/JRB Willow Grove, the US Navy displayed its F/A-18F in superb form. There is a lot more footage from all three days but for file size and time limits, we had to edit this down to roughly 9minutes. Flying the Super Hornet is Lt Blaine "Rock" Tompkins and Lt Matt "Sicko" Bernhard. Flying the Corsair for the Legacy formation is Dan Dameo. Hope you all enjoy the sight and the sound.

I really enjoyed this one! Lot's of good airplane noise and you captured some great flying. Thanks for not replacing the jet sound with loud music.

ok Patrick.. i understand your point of view, but you should make a pool about the new site: wich do you prefer? old or new version? i think the votation, if don't be manipuled, will get a impressive result to the old version! =) By the way, wonderful song 10s~18s engine start up!

Just because you feel "All went so well" with the old setup doesn't mean it was true. I've made the decisions and changes that I believe are best for the long term future of the site; I have every confidence that I've done the correct thing. As I've said, the focus of the site has shifted. I'm truly sorry if you're unhappy with that, but that's just how it is..

I really regret that the site manager insist to use this kind of streaming player or even the flash player . The quality of the videos has reduced even in the "View Large" version. I sincerly miss the old version.
