The theme for this year's air show was announced during a press conference held in March. While speaking at the event, Virginia Beach Mayor Bobby Dyer spoke about the importance of highlighting the Navy's history and connection to the city.
“When you think about what we have accomplished together over the years, and the relationships that we have built, we are the template about how a city and a naval air installation can be," Dyer said.
This event will also feature hundreds of STEM exhibits, the world's largest rubber duck, and displays from vendors along the flight line.
“Every year, the NAS Oceana Air Show brings together thousands of people from across Hampton Roads and beyond,” said NAS Oceana Executive Officer Capt. Rob Littman. “It’s more than just an air show. It’s about strengthening the bond between the Navy and the community that makes our mission possible.”
