Around here, besides the Military Aviation Museum, I am surrounded by the largest collection of military bases in the world. We've got Langley AFB, NAS Norfolk, Master Jet Base Oceana, NAF Fentress, two coast guard air bases, plus a bunch of civil and commercial aviation fields. Something is always going over. For the last few days it has been some Naval air group or groups doing work-ups at Naval Auxiliary Field Fentress. Fentress is where crews practice carrier landings before proceeding to qualifying for onboard landngs just before deployment. We'll hear the afterburner takeoffs out east at Master Jet Base Oceana where they are based and soon after we start hearing the afterburner takeoffs and touch-and-goes at Fentress. Fun stuff!
