Darn, looks like I'm gonna miss it all together.
FA18s, EA-18's, Blue Angels, Coast Guard.......
NAS (Naval Air Station) Republic - Perhaps?????
FYI, this EA-18G is actually from VAQ-132 "Scorpions" out of NAS Whidbey Island in Washington.
It's Bu. No. is #166898 and it looks to be just about brand new with a sticker price of around $75 Million!!! :wink:
She is purty
She sure is, and it was definitely a nice surprise that the Super Hornet, turned out to be an EA-18G GROWLER !!! :borat:Quote:

I know where I'm headed after work. :)
FAIL! Raining like hell when I got out, and didn't feel like waiting around. Grabbed a quick one through the fence for the personal files, but not anything I'd post here. Especially after seeing Dan's shots.
A couple of weeks back there was a really nice USMC UH-1N parked over by Sheltair.Quote:

Dan great shots. I am guessing they were taken from the main terminal side?
Christina, nice grab on the landing, glad to see the camera didn't slip out of your hands from all the sun tan lotion.
NIce shots Christina and Dan.
I guess the Newsday pic blows any chance of hiding sensitive parts out of the water.
LMFAO LOL! It was to cold out lolQuote:

Are we still looking for a 10AM departure?
Yessir, but did we see how ontime they were yesterday? :lol:
This is true, and the last time with the CAF-18 I think they used British Columbia Time, however today I have more free time, just waiting to put the last kid on the bus............
Anyone have a shot of the plane with the ramp in front of it? I want to see exactly they are trying to accomplish.
They took of at 10:25. The trees didn't help much with me getting a photo. If anyone wants to see the tree I will be more then glad to post it. It is a pretty tree
OK, I am game....Bring it on! Lets see the pretty tree!!!! 8)Quote:

pics then left for the game. :( I wanted to wait but knowing how long these military guys sometimes take to spool
up I decided to leave.
