2007 East Coast Rhino Demo Team - Part 1

thomasaircraftimages@yahoo.com (Thomas Aircraft Images) — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 04:27:00 GMT

During my visit to the 2007 Cape Girardeau Regional Air Festival I was very fortunate to meet and photograph the US Navy's East Coast Super Hornet (aka the Rhino) Demonstration Team from Strike Fighter Squadron 106 based out of Naval Air Station Oceana, Virginia.

This gallery is a photo essay of the time I spent with the team and hopefully gives a “behind the scenes” look at the demo team as they prepare, fly and recover from the airshow demonstration they flew at Cape Girardeau.

A BIG thanks goes out to the Rhino team that came to the Cape Girardeau show:

LT John "TC" Desplinter
LT Matt "SHILOC" Morton
LT Stacy "Stigs" Foley
LT Josh "JTITA" Hammond

The maintenance crew for this show was:
AO2 (AW/SW) Charles Hudson
AT2 (AW) Larry Pitzer
AN Christopher Rodriguez

11/27/2006 - 3 F-16's from the 184 FS, 188 FW out of Fort Smith AR, from the Arkansas Air National Guard.

These F-16C's from the 184th were the stadium fly over aircraft for the University of Arkansas vs. LSU football game on 11/24. They spent the weekend on the Raytheon Aircraft Company ramp at the Little Rock National Airport. I was fortunate enough to be able to photograph them as they departed for Fort Smith.

This gallery is dedicated to the hard working men and women of the 184th Fighter Squadron/188th Fighter Wing the "Flying Razorbacks".......WOOO PIG!

"Warthog Day", Forth Smith, AR, 4/14/2007

April 14th 2007 marked the end of an era at Fort Smith Regional airport. The resident Arkansas Air National Guard unit, the 188th Fighter Wing, at Ebbing Air National Guard base officially transitioned from the F-16C Fighting Falcon to the A-10A Thunderbolt II. The transition was a result of the 2005 BRAC process, during which the BRAC panel concluded that Fort Smith should retain it’s flying mission but give a portion of it’s F-16C’s to the 144th Fighter Wing with the California Air National guard at Fresno CA and the balance to the 64th Agressor Squadron at Nellis AFB. With their Vipers leaving the 188th would receive 18 A-10 “Warthogs” from various east coast Air National Guard units.

I’d like to personally thank Msgt. Bobby Dugger for all his help, research and coordination, Msgt Robbie Keylon for the access adjacent to runway 25 to shoot the Viper departures, Major Keith Moore for helping me with my visit, Wayne Matusiak with Airshow Traveler and all the members of the 188th Fighter Wing, the “Flying Razorbacks”……………….WOOO PIG!!!!!!
