Ha, I am not really good in recognizing old aircraft, but I think it is a Mitsubishi or something (propeller engine).
It had fireworks in both of his wings.
So it looked really nice in the dark (was on Friday Evening during the SunSet Airshow.
Regards, Robin.

Unfortunately not!
The canopy of the two-seater was opened later in the Afternoon, so you could check the cockpit.
Too bad they did not fly.................
Would love to here those sounds again!

The 104's did there demo on fridayafternoon. They did not fly in the weekend because of the high cost of fuel.

Anybody who has the serial of the USAF C-130 that was parked at the far end with Fat Albert? I know someone from Scramble was there also.

Great show, despite the weather on saturday. Managed to get over 130+ F/A-18's while there were only 4 on static..... :wink:

Will sort some pics out later.

I don't know were you got this info, but the F-104's did NOT fly on friday either.
In fact, their departure on sunday was not without some minor troubles.

On friday evening one of the singles seaters had it's UHF-antenne broken of because some child used it as a playing toy and was hanging on it...

They departed on sunday after 2,5 months no flying... and landed safely, but very low on fuel at kennedy space center in Florida.

Hmm, than one of our group needs to go checking his eyes...

He thought he saw 3 F-104's flying a demo, around 1500hrs the time we arrived on base friday.

I know they were at Oceana since July 21, and that they left Sundayafternoon with a Dutch guy in the backseat back to the Cape.

DJ
