Awesome Cat Airshow Demo

Recommended Posts

 

This was posted over at the Tomcat Sunset site. It is an amazing part of the 1996 "Wings of Eagles" airshow with CAPT Dale "Snort" Snodgrass at the controls of an F-14B Tomcat, preforming aerobatics with an F7F Tigercat. "Snort" was one of NAVAIR's most skilled sticks, and nearly every account I have heard or read of fights against him ended up in one of two ways: the recounter having been gunned, or having fought hard to a stalemate, regardless of the aircraft His Snortlieness was flying (F-14A, F-14B, A-4, F-5, T-38, etc.) or the plane he was flying against (F-14, F-15, F-16, F/A-18, A-4, MiG-21 over Groom Lake, etc.)

 

To this day, "Snort" is still flying in at least the F-86 and P-51 for airshow audiences, and has always been described as an amazing person, officer and pilot.

 

Check it out.

I saw a similiar demo at MCAS New River. Was amazing to see the Wildcat, Bearcat, Tigercat and Tomcat in the same formation. Something I'll never forget.

Dang, that's a nice formation... Makes one wonder what would've happened if all those had been "Zero Killers"... :grin:
