Military Aircraft Departures

2003 Wheels & Wings Airshow
Millville Municipal Airport
Millville, New Jersey
Sunday May 18, 2003

IN THIS VIDEO, watch as a handful of static display aircraft depart Millville Airport following the Sunday show.  This was one of the few show sites where one could actually stay at least two hours following the conclusion of the airshow to watch departing aircraft.  If I recall correctly, the Sunday show ended around 4 pm and I and my best friend stayed until almost 7 pm to catch the final "worthy" aircraft departing.  Aircraft included in this video are three T-45 Goshawks, an EA-6B Prowler, a CH-124 Sea King, an F/A-18E Super Hornet, and an F/A-18D Hornet.

The legacy Hornet was from VMFA(AW)-225, which calls MCAS Miramar home, and this video is dedicated to that crew who brought the aircraft in that weekend.  They came in on Friday with a spectacular break to land (which I did not see, as I was inside an FBO lounge at the time), but talked to one of the pilots as they entered the FBO.

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 .
