This one probably was my very last chance to see F-14 Tomcat in the air. I remember I was so excited to see F-14 for the first time when U.S.S. Independence came to Yokosuka U.S. Navy base in Japan and carrier aircrafts landed at Atsugi U.S. Navy Airbase. Now F-14s are retiring (actually I saw one scrapped on the perimeter fence of Atsugi base this summer) and they are all becoming history. So, my main target in this airshow was no doubt the F-14 flight demonstration.

	F-15's knife edge pass. Its bank angle was too steep and the sun was lighting the other side of the airplane.
	F-15 and P-15's heritage formation.
	F-14 Taxing out for the flight demonstration.

	Low pass in the landing configuration.

	And, F-14 finished the flight demonstration for the first day of the airshow.

	Taxing back to the ramp with the American flag.
	The second day. B-2 fly-by. It always becomes just a black silhouette in the picture :-(
	F-117 fly-by.
	F-117 fly-by (continued). If I had known F-117 was making such a low altitude fly-by, I should have prepared for it. I missed couple of good opportunities :-( Next time, I'll not miss it.
	F-14 airborne for the second day's aerobatic.
	Landing configuration slow speed pass.
	Turning on the afterburner after the slow speed pass.
	Look at the beautiful afterburner.
	I like this picture. It came very well.
	High speed low pass.
	It's one of my best shots of F-14!

	I think it's my best shot of F-14.
