This
was the first air show at Pease AFB in a long time. Although
they didn't have one of the big name demo teams, they did have some
great aircraft. My personal favorites were the West Coast F-15
Demo Team and the Collings Foundation F-4 Phantom. Pease is also
one of the best bases around for photographing arrivals. |

Held up by
weather, the West Coast F-15 Demo Team did not arrive until Friday
afternoon. Here 'Hoss' and the team's narrator make a few passes. |

to make as much noise as possible when they arrived. |

The B-1
Lancer was probably the most impressive arrival. |
