Just back from a stunning few days of aviation. My first and last time up close and personal with the Big Cats of VF-31 at the 2006 NAS Oceana Airshow…






Plenty of other types on show…

I am totally speechless (that’s a first!) at the superb quality of these photographs. They are a very fitting tribute to an iconic aeroplane. Well done indeed!!

Great pics – and I don’t normally “do” jets, but I do love the F-14!
