2006 09 08 NAS Oceana Twilight Show

On Friday evening, NAS Oceana opened its gates to the public for their Twilight Evening Show. 
Along with some civilian acts, taking part in spectacular displays that evening was the USAF F-15 East Coast Demonstration Team together with Dale Snodgrass in his F-86 Sabre for the USAF Heritage Flight flypast. 
The US Navy provided a solo demonstration by the F/A-18C Hornet and some high speed passes with full afterburner by a F/A-18F Super Hornet by night. Fat Albert, the Blue Angels KC-130T support aircraft, provided a night time Jet Assisted Take Off (JATO). We also had 3 Hornets returning from a local mission with one having a guided landing because of some gear warnings.
The final act was a race between Shockwave, a truck equipped with three Pratt & Whitney J34-48 jet engines, and Bill Leff, flying the T-6. Offcourse the winner wasn't important as the finish flag was a giant Wall of Fire. The show was closed with a huge fireworks display .
