EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. – The ACC’s Eglin-based "West Coast" F-15 demo team performed its last demonstration here Friday at the 33rd Fighter Wing Nomad reunion. Vintage P-51 Mustangs also performed. The 33rd has been one of the ACC's demonstration teams since the 1990s. The demonstration team originated from Holloman Air Force Base, N.M., and moved to Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla., before settling at Eglin. "West Coast" was retained for heritage purposes. In addition to ending its demonstration team work, the Nomads are ending 30 years at Eglin in September to make way for the F-35 Joint Strike fighter training complex. ACC now has six demonstration teams left to showcase America's air power. (Source: Eglin Air Force Base, 05/02/09)
