Dale "Snort" Snodgrass F-86 Sabre Tico Warbird Airshow 2009

Dale "Snort" Snodgrass - A living national treasure.
"Captain Dale Snodgrass, (better known by his call-sign: "Snort"), is a living national treasure and among the greatest fighter pilots of our times. I've flown with Snort, watches him teach and groom generations of fighter pilots, and the way Snort is able to articulate those skills to others is like no one I've ever seen. There aren't many people on this earth that I hold in higher regard than Captain Dale Snodgrass" - Admiral Jay Johnson, (26th Chief of Naval Operations and member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Presidents Clinton and Bush). With over 5,000 flight hours and 1,200 plus carrier landings in the famed Grumman F14 Tomcat, Snort is the most experienced Tomcat pilot in the world and a highly decorated combat veteran. At the end of Desert Storm, then Commander Snodgrass was promoted to Navy Captain and was selected to command all Tomcats in the US Navy. Capt. Snodgrass joins a very small select group of pilots that are allowed to fly with active duty modern fighters at air shows throughout North America and Europe. He is the only pilot in the world approved to fly in both and Air Force Heritage Flight Program and the Navy Legacy Flight Program.

Too bad we didn't see him in the F-86 at this years Tico Warbird Airshow in Titusville, FL. That's ok as he was the solo pilot in the Heavy Metal Jet team. They were simply amazing.
