Gate Guards and Base Displays (not museums)

[Paperpilot]

A new display featuring A-6E and EA-6B gate guards the NAS Whidbey Island entrance on Rte 20.

...and about a mile and a half from my house actually. It's nicely lit up at night as well. It's also nice in that it's not the entrance to the base that it indicates but the begining of the whole city. The people here are very supportive of the base.

Here are some wrecks.  NADEP Cherry Point early 90s.  Harriers, a Phantom, couple of Sea Knights and who know what else.

Went out on Saturday. Only got pictures of the airpark inside the main gate. Saw a couple of B-1s and C-130 take off but to far for a photo. Thought I'd share some of the photos. Not sure whether to place this under museums or base visits .

Great shots, Robert, looks like a fairly solid airpark.  I love how they have a GENIE on display with the F-89, and that's a fine looking Oscar Deuce at the very bottom.

Does anyone have pics of the gate guards of Cecil Field when she was an NAS? Also I heard the F/A-18 in front of NAS JAX is fairly "new" (past 5 years or so) anyone know what it was before hand?

I have seven pictures of NAS Cecil static displays taken in Sept 1996 posted on www.airliners.net.  The seven are the S-3, F/A-18, A-7, F-8, F9F, S-2, and TBM.
