looks like I won't be able to attend this year either that makes two years in a row I've missed Oceana....hopefully third year will be a charm and I'll get to go

Des,
That is a bummer!
Next years show looks to be a week later so hopefully the weather will cooperate.

I hope you can make it to that one!

Way to make him feel better, Les.

If it makes you feel better, the F-22 had to abort due to maintenance 30 sec in to it's show.

Yea that was a big bummer! I'd almost thought that the raptor pilot used to be a C-5 pilot as they are always full of excuses why they can't fly.

But it was a great show none the least. It really made up for last year. Had great seats in the bleachers right in front of #3 (Show Center!!!!!)

Got a couple pics of CAG birds I will post later and a couple Vipers for Mike as they were from Ohio.

Later

I bolted after the Rapter bugged out. I used my mil ID to get on base Friday, so I saw the Raptor and the Blues yesterday. We hit the O Club last night and had a really good time hanging out with the aircrews. If you haven't been in there it is pretty cool. Lots of Tomcat history.

I took about 300 to 400 pictures of building and other things last year. There was not much flying due to the weather so I had all the time of the world to shoot scenery stuff.
