2008 Joint Services Open House - The Starfighters

The Starfighters

2008 Joint Services Open House
Andrews AFB, Maryland
Saturday May 17, 2008

IN THIS VIDEO, watch as the world's only F-104 Starfighter jet team takes to the skies over Andrews AFB. Led by Rick "Comrade" Svetkoff, watch as he leads his two wingmen in some formation passes as well as individual passes that highlights the performance characteristics of this "missile with a man in it". Take note of the VERY distinctive howl from the J79 engine.

Like what you've seen? Well, 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 .
