[MilCom] NAS Oceana Airshow Report

[A. Mills]

Jason,
Thanks for the report.  I am sorry that we missed the show. Sigh...
Anyway, "F/A-18 painted a ugly light blue color didn't see where it was
from"...

If I was to wager a guess, it may be VFC-12 Omars.  They are in blue.  Here
are some shots that were taken back in June.
