Hey Semper, was that footage part of an airshow, or were they coming ashore from their carriers? BTW, I thought it was cool to see the pilots names and their callsigns, lol, that ones callsign was limp!! Can you imagine the razz he would get from his fellow pilots?!
Actually it was 1995 when VF-84 was disastablished and VF-103 Sluggers picked up the heritage in 1996. I never said that VF-103 didnt fly the Tomcat with the Jolly Rogers logos on it. Just trying to explain how they changed. You will have to excuse Viper, he is just a little boy.
I am the one Jolly Roger 106's pilot pointed to at 0:14. Hey SemperApollo, if you can remember a guy wearing a black Felix Rules shirt and Tomcatter hat, that was me. ;) We must have been standing 3-4 people lengths away. ;)
I live there and I could go for the past 2 years because of the NAscar race at richmond. We would come back on sunday and park on oceana Blvd and watch them. Now that they moved it so it dose not efect the race, im happy.
The Jolly Rogers have been flying the Super Hornet for a few years now. The paint schemes transfered over when thet Tomcat was retired and the remaning Tomcat squadrons switched over to the Super Hornets. Actually what you are thinking of with VF-84 Jolly Rogers when they were flying the tomcats. VF-103 Sluggers picked up the heritage and becamce VFA-103 Jolly Rogers and fly the Super Hornets.
People said the same thing when the Phantom was phased out and the Tomcat was the new jet on the block. If you want to see colorful aircraft, look at some of the Vietnam era CAG F-4s. Especially VF-51 and VF-111.
Did I see a Captain Halley Comet at 1:11?

I had on a VFA-34 "Have Gun Will Travel" shirt and a tan hat. You're probably in some of the footage if I look hard enough.

The Super Hornet is awesome, but it's just weird to see the Bombcat insignia on its fin.
