The Friday performance of the F/A-18F at AirFest 2006. Flown by Lt Blaine "Rock" Tompkins and Lt Matt "Sicko" Bernhard from VFA-106, the jet demonstrated its ability to point its nose with authority even at very low airspeeds. It also showed its high speed dash capability and turn radius. This video not only shows the jet in flight, but on the ground recieving final checks from its plane captains.
