I was in the Navy before the internet these planes are what brought the mail. I don't recall the squadron though. I remember the first time I saw one of these and thinking how something this big can have folding wings.
Nellis does the same thing every once in a while. Its like a media or is exactly that. They allow civilians on base close to the runways for photos and videos. I don't think its something they advertise but it happens.
@DuffusAndDuffy seems like the press working with the NAVY Public affairs office. The camera crew gets to stand where the eval officers stand, while the aircrew conducts their FCLP demonstration.
Thanks for the memories. That was my COD in the late 90's.

@gandhirama probably either VRC-30 or 40. They are the only two squadrons that do it.

For a modern airoplane, it has very dirty engines.

No full stop. They were there to practice carrier landings. When they were done they flew back to base at NAS North Island, Coronado, CA (San Diego).
