I was stationed at Moffet 86-89, at GEMD. Worked a few air shows. The NASA birds were often more interesting than the every day jet aircraft teams ( Italian TriColori's, Blue Angels, etc). The worst part of the air shows was the field cleanup (FOD walkdown) the Monday after.

Reminds me of my time with VP-50(1976-1978) and NPPSA/NMPC (1978-1981) as an AD2/1

Avionics Tech VP-50 (84-87), VP-31 FRAMP (87-94), & VP-4 (91-95). This aircraft, RP-18 belonged to VP-31 Black Lightnings. I'm very certain that I either worked or attended that airshow. Probably worked it.

@mchume65 Have you seen what the hollow brass hats want to replace her with? They have this new piece of shit called P8. It is a wide body airliner with 2 jet engines, and it is a WHITE ELEPHANT!

[mcrazy11]

I can almost smell the fuel, ahhhhh. :)

[SuperRich1970]

@SuperRich1970 Have you seen what the hollow brass hats want to replace P3 Orion with? They have this new piece of shit called P8. It is a wide body airliner with 2 jet engines, and it is a WHITE ELEPHANT!

VP-46 Aircrewman NAS Moffett Field 78-82. Seems like yesterday, especially with videos as these. Just the sound takes me back. Thanks for posting.

There are soo many things right and TERRIBLY wrong with this video. I guess 1988 was a different time for Orion Flight crews... Two engine inflight restart in the pattern, seriously?

[tyleroryan]

Awesome video... I went to this show as a kid and still remember all those manuevers like it was yesterday. Thanx.
