The signature part of the NAS Oceana is the Fleet Air Power Demonstration. The 2015 edition of the Air Power Demonstration features six F/A-18 Hornets and two F/A-
18E Super Hornets with three F/A-18 Hornets from VFA-37 "Ragin' Bulls", two F/A-18 Hornets from VFC-12 "Fighting Omars", two F/A-18E Super Hornets from VFA-81
"Sunliners" (who, in June, returned from a ten month deployment on the USS Carl Vinson supporting Operation Inherent Resolve), one F/A-18 Hornet from VFA-106
"Gladiators", and new for 2015, two MH-60S Knighthawks from HSC-9 "Tridents" from Naval Station Norfolk.
The video is broken down into several segments, which includes all eight Hornets and Super Hornets departing from Runway 5R, an air-to-air engagement by the two
VFC-12 "Fighting Omars" and VFA-81 "Sunliners" aircraft, the Tridents inserting Navy SEALs, the Ragin' Bulls and Sunliners providing air-to-ground cover, the Tridents
returning to pick up the SEALs, an air-to-air refueling demonstration by the Sunliners, one military member exiting one of the MH-60S Knighthawks to bring in a POW/MIA
flag, seven of the eight aircraft returning for the signature Fleet Flyby, and seven of eight aircraft returning to NAS Oceana. There was an eighth aircraft, the spare aircraft
from VFA-37, which had to take a trap on Runway 32R after all aircraft landed due to a landing gear issue.
I apologize for any unstable nature of the video and any violent shakiness in the video as there was a significant amount of video camera issues that plagued the
weekend. In addition please note any music in the video was not added into the video; it was played through the public address system at the show site.
