Where? NAS Miramar, USA
When? 19-20/10/2002

The Miramar Airshow is the largest airshow in the world and the performing aircraft did range from civilian aerial aerobatics to the Marine Air Ground Task Force demonstration and the famous Blue Angels.
The 2002 show theme was 'A Salute to the Flying Leathernecks' in honor of the Marine aviators.

Since 1994 Miramar is an Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS), the Marine Corps' premier air station and home to the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. But nonetheless the name is still associated with 'Fightertown U.S.A.' coming from the days when the base still was a Naval Air Station (NAS Miramar). Due to that change the Navy F-14s have nowadays unfortunately disappeard and have mainly been replaced by Marines F/A-18s.

"Bravo Hotel, line-up runway 07 right for photo mission"
Finally, after months of preparation and strong support by the Messerschmitt Stiftung and the EADS Heritage Flight I am sitting in the photo-ship on that hot August day 2003 and can listen to the radio traffic of the Messerschmitt Bf-108 D-ESBH that is lining up on the runway in front of us and which is the main target of that photoflight.
