The highlight for me at the 2004 Oceana show was getting to spend Saturday with Lieutenant John “Roll” Keiser, the Radar Intercept Officer with the F-14 Tomcat Demonstration Team.  I was able to witness the pre-flight and start-up of the Tomcat demonstration from the hot ramp as Roll’s “special guest.”  I also had the privilege to meet Roll’s partner and pilot, Lieutenant Anthony “Opie” Walley, who would go on to fly with the Blue Angels in 2006 and 2007 in the Right Wing (#2) position with the team.
