September 20 through 22
 
 

"We defend freedom against people who can't stand freedom."
-- President George W. Bush

Defending freedom: yesterday, today and tomorrow. The mission of Naval Air Station Oceana has changed little in the last 50 years. Whether it’s home or abroad, the U.S. Navy stands ready to deliver U.S. diplomacy whenever and wherever it’s needed with its aircraft carriers, air wings and battle groups.

The men and women of NAS Oceana invite you to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the master jet base and experience a taste of Fighter Country, USA at our annual air show September 20-22, 2002.

As winner of the International Council of Air Show’s Dick Schram Award (1998, 2000), we promise to deliver world-class family entertainment. More importantly, we hope your visit will instill you with a greater sense of pride and patriotism in your country and those who defend its freedom. Check Six!
