No, that was the year that the PAO let some media to go to the other side of the runway.  That's the CH-53 that always takes off during the departures, but then flies to the south side of the field and sits there for 30 minutes with engines running.  I think the Marines on board came out with a football and tossed it around while they waited.

I shot this USMC CH-53 Super Stallion 01/15/15 at about 1400 from a Chili's Restaurant parking lot on Mira Mesa Blvd in San Diego.
