2008 NAS Oceana Airshow - Navy Fleet Air Power Demo

The Fleet

2008 NAS Oceana Airshow
NAS Oceana, Virginia
Friday September 19, 2008

IN THIS VIDEO, watch as a gaggle of Hornets and Super Hornets take part in the Fleet portion of the show on Friday. New to the Fleet demonstration is an in-flight refueling demonstration, which was only performed on Friday, as the IFR jet's drogue went mx on Sunday and the Fleet could not go up on Saturday due to the combination of high winds and the VERY LOW ceilings over Oceana and various hold points. Participating squadrons include the following:

VFA-11 "Red Rippers" - F/A-18F Super Hornet
VFA-106 "Gladiators" - F/A-18C Hornet
VFA-136 "Knighthawks" - F/A-18E Super Hornet
VFA-211 "Checkmates" - F/A-18F Super Hornet
Unknown Squadron - E-2C Hawkeye

I apologize for the poor video quality, as I was trying my best to get the best video under VERY WINDY conditions, which persisted through Saturday night.

Like what you've seen? Well, if you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take time to check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .
