The 2011 NAS Oceana air show was a roller coaster full of ups and downs… though no fault of the organizers and participants. Tropical moisture invaded the Virginia Beach area, and remained a major impediment to flying for the entire weekend.
During Friday afternoon’s practice show, dark and foreboding thunderstorms raced just north of Apollo Soucek Field. The storms crept closer, finally affecting the airport as the Blue Angels were in the middle of their practice show, and ultimately deluged the grounds only a few hours before the evening’s twilight show was to commence.
Below you'll find some images from the Thursday practice and Friday media day on base.
