    Wife took some photos on the intra~coastal during Blue Angel practice the other day over Pensacola beach. Thought they were neat because the vantage point was somewhat different than the typical air show:

    That'll buff out. That's a normal landing for those commie jets, right?

    Were you in the bird taking the picture? (51, I think?). If so, SHARP/log books will tell me who you are with 50% probability. :)

    Just wanted to put my ignorance out there...it took me a little while to look up the F9F-8T/TF-9J Cougar. Never seen one before in my life.

    The museum onboard NAS Pensacola has a TF-9J (on loan from another museum), but I don't know if it is on public display or somewhere in the back.

    How'd you get the camera crew to be half an hour late to the wrong zone so they could film it?

    I'm a ninja when it comes to flight planning.

    Actually, it was filmed by the "downed aircrew" being role-played by two of our Flight E Marines. He filmed it on his iPhone as we came in to pick them up...

    And I will say that I've never landed in the wrong zone. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
