Dale “Snort” Snodgrass - the legend! 🦅

This is an iconic shot, Dale “Snort” Snodgrass' impressive low-altitude pass which occurred on July 22, 1988, during the Dependent’s Day cruise aboard the USS America (CV-66).

Despite widespread online rumours, the pilot was not grounded and the picture is real!

Dale O. Snodgrass was a United States Navy aviator and air show pilot and he is still considered one of the greatest fighter pilots of all time. He was the highest-time Tomcat pilot, after having accumulated more than 4,800 hours in the F-14 and more than 1,200 of arrested carrier landings, both more than any other pilot.

Hats off to the legend! đź’Ą
