VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — The NAS Oceana Air Show is roaring back to Virginia Beach later this year.
Officials at Oceana announced the annual air show will return on Sept. 21 and 22, 2024. The air show's military jet-heavy lineup will feature the Navy’s flight demonstration team the Blue Angels, the F-35C Lightning Demonstration Team, and the F-22 Raptor Demonstration Team.
This year's theme is "Inspire. Educate. Soar!" It will highlight the thousands of local 5th graders who will attend the air show’s practice day during their STEM Education Field Trip on Friday, Sept. 20. Oceana announced it is partnering with Virginia Beach City Public Schools and Chesapeake Public Schools "to create a one-of-a-kind, hands-on STEM Laboratory."
The 2024 NAS Oceana Air Show is open to the public, and admission and parking are free. The performance schedule is under development and will be announced as the event nears.
