It was really impressive. I consider my video, and yours, a little piece of history.

Its actually the Blue's 60th Anniversary this year..and the last month for the Tomcats....

Im an Air Traffic Controller, and I work at the Control Tower in Oceana..so pretty much have access to plenty during the AIRSHOW...so if anyone needs a favor just let me know..Im pretty sure I can work something out...also its OPEN to the Public this weekend and only thing you have to pay for is the VIP section/Bleachers up front...

^ Same here. The F18 and F14 were flying what looked like a routine this week. Maybe they have paired them together.

The best places are on London Bridge, Potters, and Oceana Blvd. London Bridge gets closed during the Blue Angels, not sure about the others.

The F14s definitely flew with the F18s this morning and I believe are part of the "F-18C Hornet Tactical Demonstration" scheduled for 12 pm tomorrow. They were doing the whole bombing run demo thing this morning.
