When VAQ-134 transitions sure, guess the C-2 det was on the beach that day?
Taken somewhere in China? The new shiny looks like a Luyang II, the old thing a Slava. City looks too nice to be Russian, but I'm shocked the Russians managed to get a Slava underway for a port call.Thought this was cool
Keep in mind Hoya, that if things go well for you, someday you could be flying most of the same maneuvers in formation, just as fast; 'tho not quite as tight, nor near as low. It's truly more awesome to DO it... than watch it!Seeing them in person really galvanized my hope that I can be a small part of the Naval Aviation community someday.
I wonder what it is like going back to the fleet for those guys after their tour is done. They probably can keep formation without breaking any sort of a sweat.
Just think, if everything goes okay for you Hoya, you'll have the privilege of working alongside people like BzB and Ron as I did. Like BzB says that photo was kinda of an everyday site for us (Corkyboy, Derf and the rest of the crowd). In the meantime enjoy your time at Georgetown and have a drink for me. http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/2011/07/10/gIQAAEveII_story.html (Miss that place. )View attachment 13744 Got to see the Blues twice this past week, once as they did a flyby of downtown Pittsburgh for a photo op and once when they performed yesterday. Having never seen them before, it blew my mind. I had chills every time they did a pass and when I heard the high-pitched "zoom" noise of the F404s as they approached. I even got to say hi and give a quick thanks to CDR Frosch and LT Chamberlin after the show. Seeing them in person really galvanized my hope that I can be a small part of the Naval Aviation community someday.
