Sig Saur & Son Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) The wife came along this year. The last time she went to an air show with me they were called Open Houses and the date was April 1978, the venue NAS Norfolk. Anyway, just like in '78, she pretended to have a good time. Post your images and comments here. I know some of you were there 'cas I spoke with you during the show. Anyway, here are a couple of my attempts to capture the moment(s) that was Oceana's 50th Anniversary Air Show. Cheers, Dave Edited September 22, 2008 by Sig Saur & Son Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darren Roberts Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Dave, great pictures, but excuse me...isn't it the NAS Oceana airshow? All I see are pictures of AF aircraft. I want to see Super Hornets!!!!!!!! (especially VFA-11). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jai5w4 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Went on Cloudy-Saturday. Haven't uploaded the pics yet, however. Was I the only one expecting just a little MORE from a 50th Anniversary show that is supposed to be one of the better shows around? -John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sig Saur & Son Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 A couple more before bedtime. Still searching for the Navy stuff. I know they were there, it is a Naval Air Station. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jai5w4 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Yes.The US and Canadian AF stole the show. Yes, you agree? Or yes, I was the only one? 100% with you; the Raptor and CF-18 demos were something else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CRASCA Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 What a great show!! Dave, nice to see and shoot with you again. Steve, you and Shawn are the best!! What a great weekend. AF / CAF stole the show?? I don't think so. Here are a couple of arguments for the USN! And for you, Darren. Unfortunately the Rippers had their birds in the barn. THere were a few on the ramp, but they wouldn't let us shoot them. Luckily, the flew a couple in the fleet tac demo. Here you go. More to come later, Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
