The Navy's EA-18G Growler Demonstration team participated at the airshow.
The EA-18G Growler is the electronic warfare version of the Super Hornet.
The crowd got to watch a Super Hornet go through its paces, and demonstrate its high Alpha and maneuverability.
The air was all sorts of humid, so the Growler had no problem creating vapor trails.
The Super Hornet also created some shock diamonds from its twin engines.
After the initial demo, a Corsair joined up for some historic Navy fly-bys:
Note the nose angle of the Growler in this pic as it stays on the Corsair's wing.
After flying together they the broke off and and Hornet gave a nice parting shot of its roaring engines to end the demonstration.
The EA-18G Growler is a large, loud, and very maneuverable aircraft and put on an impressive display.
