Re: the F-14...
The Tomcat was a fine aircraft, but it was a maintenance hog. The A-4 was much easier handle in close and was not as complex an aircraft. The F-18 is in between the A-4 and the F-14. It is closer to the F-4, in my opinion, for jet aerobatics.
Re: Quonset Point...
I can’t remember the holiday. It could have been July 4th as it seems it was in the middle of the summer. If I ever find the slides, I’ll post them.
I think Quonset Point was an ASW base and I think they housed some S-2F Tracker squadrons in that era.

I can’t remember the holiday. It could have been July 4th as it seems it was in the middle of the summer. Unless there were two shows at Quonset that year, it had to be Memorial Day. I was commissioned and shoved off on June 12th. I seem to recall the airshow was held on a cloudy day, but it was mild.

“Watch as Patrick Raycraft, a Photojournalist for the Hartford Courant gets a thrilling ride in the two seat U. S. Navy Blue Angel F/A-18 Hornet with “Kojak,” Blue Angel 7.
(AKA... our fallen Blue Angel, Kevin Davis).
This video really shows what a great guy he was.
It’s long - but very cool.
This one is Dale Earnhardt, Jr. taking a ride with Kojak.
Dale is impressive - he didn’t puke or black out.

Honestly - what do you know about this poster? Chances are you don’t know as much as you think you do.

LOL!! Yeah - I AM a civilian!
Once on a thread here I mentioned that I just love the way your ribcage rumbles when those jets fly by — it’s the sound of freedom. I was told by another FReeper that for guys, it starts a little lower! LOL
