What is #1 (the last one in the video)???

It looks like a twin tail----but it also looks like it has a SWING WING. (They ruined the B1 when they removed the variable geometry wing)

My guess is an F14 Tomcat.

What do you think.

The last aircraft over the water was a F-18 Hornet -- look to be a Blue Angle. BTW, the B-1B has a swing wing.

You are right about the B1B and also it does appear that it was an F18 in that last flyby I posted. I incorrectly remembered about the swing wing--they eliminated the variable geometry engine intakes on the "B" not the variable geometry wings.

Thanks for the links!!

Here are my 2 favorites. An F14 doing a flyby between an escort and carrier.

and a SR71 doing a flyby

Amazing to think that that the F14 is over 30 years old and the SR71 about 50 years old.

Those are some amazing clips. The Milliatary has all of the cool toys :)

Does this qualify as a flyby?

I guess I'd call it more of a car wash, but impressive none the less.
