My first TOMCAT!

[b0nd08]

hi all im currently on holiday in orlando and we went to the VAC warbird museum in titusville today, and seeing my first tomcat it has been my favourite plane for as long as i can remember!
its an excellent museum with a big variety of aircraft, here are some i took:

























there was a hell of alot more aircraft there but as you can see i focused on the tomcat, beautiful jet! they also had a phantom in restoration and the A6 intruder looked great!
doing a 6 hour drive to NAS pensacola monday to see the blue angels practive and meet the pilots, also will be going to the naval museum they got there. also going to have a gander at eglin AFB as its about 20miles away!
please forgive the editing part as im abit limited!

The F-5 was i believe used in research in how to modify sonic booms so as to make them less pronounced.

Some nice shots from a top museum by the look of it! Any chance of seeing some more photo's of the Voodoo? Cheers

hey man there was another voodoo at eglin AFB museum which i got a few more pics of for ya, im still in pensacola at the moment but shall try upload them when i get back to orlando, if not when im home! NAS pensacola museum is something else.... really amazing place, also saw the blue angels display in the morning and sorry to say they are better than the red aarows!

Nice shots in the museum....was there a couple of years ago on holiday...it was March and they had their annual airshow. Saw the f-14 outside as it, and a few other airframes had been wheeled out for the show. Didn't actually go in the museum itself, but wish I had now! Hopefully going back next March, so will have to drag the family back....with ear-plugs so i can't hear the screaming that will accompany the kicking!

yeah its a pretty good museum! however id definatly recommend taking the long drive to pensacola to see the blue angels practice and the naval museum there (all free) its the best day ive had out in a very long time

ps and the eglin afb museum!

Funny you title this as above, this was my first Tomcat to. Isnt it a beut a real tom cruise moment for me as I had to at least kick the tyres, but alas I couldnt light the fires, I shall have to settle for our SHAR FA2 at NAM instead, but not a bad second,

Brilliant photos of a brilliant museum,

Dave Hibbert, NAM, Trustee.

jag yes mate it is a very good museum felt quite bad though as a bloke who worked there was showing us around and i kind of just walked off and stood in front of the tomcat for about 20minutes

just found some more tomcats i took pictures of from NAS pensacola naval aviation museum, what a beautiful plane.

















cheers
