F-15 Eagle Demonstration
F-15 West Coast Demo Team
2009 AirPower Over Hampton Roads
Langley AFB, Virginia
Friday April 24, 2009
IN THIS VIDEO, watch as Captain Sam "Nuke" Joplin flies his third to last demonstration in the Eagle while over the skies of Langley AFB. This is the last weekend of demonstrations by Nuke and the F-15 West Coast Demo Team, as the team is due to stand down in early May as a result of the Eagle disappearing from Eglin AFB and the preparation of the base for the F-35 Lightning II. I am fortunate enough to be able to bring to you the last three demonstrations that Nuke flew in a public airshow.
I do have video of his demo from the afternoon, but that video suffers from bad audio tracking as a result of an error on my part. As one of my friends puts it, Friday afternoon's practice is not only a practice for the pilots, but also for us photographers and videographers.
Like what you've seen? If you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take time to check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .
