NAS Oceana is the Navy's only Master Jet Base on the East Coast.
Captain Bryan runs the NAS Oceana Air Show at this Virginia Beach hub, home to F/A-18 Super Hornet squadrons. That front-line role makes him a primary source on Navy tactical aviation and air show operations.
What's the best part of a military air show?
The Blue Angels got their name from a NYC nightclub!
In 1946, a pilot suggested the name after spotting an ad for the Blue Angel nightclub in New York City in The New Yorker. The squad had just been formed on orders from Admiral Chester Nimitz.
The Blue Angels perform for ~11 million spectators each year!
All Blue Angels air shows are free to attend, making them one of America's largest free public spectacles. Performing at ~30 shows per season, the team brings naval aviation to communities nationwide at no cost.
