NAS Oceana Air Show - 2004

Six F-14 Tomcats. These planes, soon to be retired, were a crowd favorite. The Blue Angels were grounded in Pensacola, and the Tomcat took up the slack, providing the show's "grand finale."


The Blue Angels weren't there, but they sent one of their Super Hornets for up-close inspection.


We were certainly able to get close enough to the taxiway. From here you could feel the jet blast.
