Re: NAS Oceana Air Show 2023

Anybody know why RAZZ was not wearing the colorful HGU-55 helmet with his call sign at Oceana?

He was wearing a regular, gray HGU-55.

I was thinking maybe he donated it to a charity or something.

Re: NAS Oceana Air Show 2023

Nice show weekend. Special thank you to RAZZ for bringing the F-22 jets to Oceana. That was the highlight for me. I spoke to RAZZ and told him I was the guy that had been bugging him all season about bringing the jets to Oceana for the show. He said it was not problem. Noticed RAZZ flew the jet on t...

Re: NAS Oceana Air Show 2023

How about those High Tech scanners at the entrance? The lines were nice and short to get in.

Re: NAS Oceana Air Show 2023

They keep saying "stationed at Langley AFB" when they mention the F-22 Team. I think they will stage from Langley and not bring the jets to Oceana.

Re: NAS Oceana Air Show 2023

If anybody has access to the show grounds before the show, take some photos and post. Would love to see the set-up.

Re: NAS Oceana Air Show 2023

Squadron Mall is excellent. I usually spend $1000 on some of my favorite squadrons.

Statics were very good in 2016 and 2017. About 15 Hornets/Rhinos on display from various squadrons.

USAF statics usually not very good.

Re: NAS Oceana Air Show 2023

Maybe the show is trying to control the crowd on the show left ramp. I remember in 2019 that the Thunderbirds staged from the show left ramp, but all the way on the other side of all the Hornets/Super Hornets that were used in the Rhino and Air Power Demos. Since the Thunderbirds were barely visible...

Re: NAS Oceana Air Show 2023

Anybody know the areas of the flight line that will have photography restrictions? I hope it is not the show left area ramp where all the jets stage from? I did not go last year, but have been to Oceana many times and never heard of photo restrictions on flight line. I know about the restriction on ...

Re: Thunder Over New Hampshire Air Show 2023

Wow! Looks like the hot ramp with the F-16 and F-35 will be visible from the crowd line. Excellent!!
