Just wondering if anyone knows all the shows that the F-14 Demo team is gonna do before the end. I know that there are 6 and Columbia, Missouri is going to be one of them, and I can't wait to go by the way, but I might try to go to any others if they are anywhere around. Sad times for the Tomcat, but I'm excited to go see it fly. It takes a big man to cry, but it takes an even bigger man to laugh at the big man crying. Edited by - jetman on May 04 2004 2:49 PM |

Saw the Tomcat today in Atlanta. Hell of a flight! Lot's of noise and speed. Marge: There's someone here who I think can help you. Homer: Who, Batman? Marge: No he's a scientist. Homer: Batman's a scientist? Marge: It's not Batman! |

Here it is, the complete F-14 demo schedule for the Tomcat's final show season! Tis a sad year, I suggest everybody try to see this demo one last time, or in my case the first and only time. I may try to go to Columbia, Missouri if I have the funds by the end of the month. 2004 F-14 Tomcat Demo Schedule: http://www.schultzairshows.com/f142004.htm |

If there's that many shows I just may be able to go to more than one. at this site it says one of six civilian shows with the Tomcat. I went to this airshow last year, and it was about 50 degrees and cloudy, but the Superhornet came through and was basically the best part. This time it looks a whole lot better, I hope. You'll love the Tomcat, once you see and hear it, you'll never want/love another. It takes a big man to cry, but it takes an even bigger man to laugh at the big man crying. |

I tried to get to the NAS Atlanta show but too many others has the same idea. I live 4 miles from show center and after two hours in traffic I felt lucky to be home again opening an adult beverage. I did manage to glimpse the F-14 from my cul-de-sac vantage point. It still looks good. |

Well, there has been one change to the schedule I provided you. The Tomcat demo set in September for NAS JRB Ft. Worth is a typo. The show at NAS JRB Ft. Worth is this weekend (Saturday, May 15th) and according to the base PAO, its a confirmed demo. So, that means I won't have to go all the way to Columbia, I get to see the Tomcat this Saturday! This show is looking to be one of the best shows I have ever seen too: - F-14 Tomcat Demo - F/A-18 Hornet West Coast Demo - AV-8B Harrier West Coast Demo - F-15 West Coast Demo - Lockheed Martin F-16 Demo That F-16 demo is NOT the USAF demo, but it is the Lockheed factory demo, flown by the chief test pilot! The F-104 Starfighters are also supposed to do a performance, but I am hearing they have cancelled for some reason <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>. The Tomcat makes up for that though! |

I saw the demo yesterday, and it is one of the coolest. If you have the opportunity to see it this year, and for the last time, do so! <BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>You'll love the Tomcat, once you see and hear it, you'll never want/love another.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote> That is true <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> |

I'm planning on taking some good pics of the Tomcat the 29th. I can't wait to go, it'll also be my first airshow of the season. If anyone is planning on going to the Columbia show, here's the site: http://www.salute.org/index.shtm No Blue Angels or T-birds, but still the Tomcat and the F-18 demo look to be pretty good. It takes a big man to cry, but it takes an even bigger man to laugh at the big man crying. |
