The company I was there with, Burtek, sponsored a F-18 tactical demo at lunch time. I always have thought it's way better than the races itself.

They show min radius turns, mach .98 fly bys, ect ect.

This was taken durning a min radius turn around an apartment building there.

It's a Navy fighter jet.... who's going to stop them? :lol: Actually they had a guy (single engine prop plane) fly through the restricted air space right before the demo, and from what I heard he got a good talking to.

I know they can't break the sound barrier. But I think everything else is fair game.

No I did not, I just found it at the website I linked. I was an invited guest at Burtek's little company area right on the river front. But anyone who attended the Gold Vup races get's to see the same show of course. :cool:
