Re: 2019 NAS Oceana Airshow Sep 21st & 22nd

Perhaps they went over at the south end of the beach. A loose three ship formation flew overhead at about 10:15, I thought they were returning from one of the regular training sorties. Does anyone know if there will be the usual Saturday night beach after burner show?

Seems to be missing. No sign of any practice over the beach yet. :cry:

Re: 2019 NAS Oceana Airshow Sep 21st & 22nd

My wife and I have been coming to Oceana Air Shows since 2006. The shows that September weekend were amazing. A lot has changed since then. I signed up for my photo pass last year, and briefly waited in that huge line for a chance to pick it up. I say briefly, because after 30 minutes of imperceptib...

Some very nice shots there, well done. Where were you shooting from, off base by chance on Oceana?

Re: 2018 NAS Oceana Sept 22 & 23

Came down from Niagara Falls, Ontario. Lined up at 10:30 for my pass. A few guys came out saying they just got their pass, it was a 2-1/2 hour wait. I waited in line a bit, then thought, this is stupid, I’m in Virginia Beach, there’s an Ocean to swim in. In truth, if you wanted to deter people from ...

Re: Thunder of Niagara Airshow 2018

I watched the show this year from Porter Road on Friday and Sunday, and it worked out pretty good except for missing the amazing flying of the Corsair and the Mustang. The lighting is usually better from Porter Road, although there was more and more haze and grey on Sunday as the day progressed. Fri...

Re: Air Power over Hampton Roads 2018

I booked a hotel (Embassy Suites) a long time ago, but I’m leaning to cancelling now. I understand the uncertainty regarding the Thunderbirds, but the web site for this events screams “we aren’t really into this show.” Maybe my expectations were too high, but I expected a lot more for a 100 year ann...
