VFA-106
Super Hornet Demonstration Team

TAC DEMO
Air shows are the best place to see a VFA-106 Super Hornet in action. The Tactical Demonstration, or "Tac Demo" team flies a two-seat F/A-18F as close to the the "edge of the envelope" as safety and prudence allows. The routine highlights the Rhino's maneuverability and slow-speed handling characteristics and has been very well received around the country.

LEGACY
In addition to high-performance demonstrations with a single aircraft, VFA-106 also participates in "Legacy" shows in which Super Hornets fly in formation with classic warbirds like the F-4U Corsair and F6F Hellcat. Legacy shows provide a unique comparison between where the past and present and provide some great photo opportunities.

STATIC DISPLAYS
Even if your local airshow does not have a Tac Demo or Legacy performance, there still may be a VFA-106 Super Hornet present as a "static", or non-flying display. The public is typically allowed to approach close to the aircraft, take photos, and most likely meet the crew.
