At the end of the last Flight Fest the F-14 on display, had to fly back to its base in California. The plane took off and did a fly over at Boeing field about 200 ft above the main runway with the wings full forward. They flew around the field again and about half way down the runway he swept the wings back, went vertical with after burner and disappeared straight up. Pretty cool and this was after walking around with my young (at the time) son slipping our fingers into the barrel of the cannon on a A-10, rubbing the belly of the Dash-80 and walking through the cargo area of a C-5A and enjoying military/commercial aircraft up close.

Ah, the EA-6 Northrop Grumman Prowler. The same function as the Growler, electronic counter measures.

General Dynamics was bought out by Lockheed Martin. The F-15 series of aircraft are now built by Boeing since they bought out McDonald Douglas. The term "Lawn Dart" is best used for the "Lancer" or B-1. Back when the Museum of Flight had their summer Flight Fest get together, I saw a "Lancer" pilot with a Lawn Dart patch - it was held on by hooks and loops (aka Velcro) so the AF upper echelons would not see it.

Most likely Growlers (Boeing EA-18G) from Whidbey Naval Airbase, they use the area off of Olympic National park for training. Although they could have AF guys up from JBLM (Joint Base Lewis McChord)
