I am hoping to visit Virginia in May and whilst there I would like to attend one of the public tours that are provided at both Norfolk and Oceana Naval bases. I am not sure what to expect from these tours so was wondering if anyone had attended any in the past. My main interest is in photography and my question would be - what are the opportunities like for taking photographs of the based aircraft during these tours. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Dinger.

Re: NAS Oceana and NAS Norfolk tours
From what I've heard about the Oceana tours is that you get on a bus and driven around a bit but you're not allowed to get off on the flighline. Not very good.
Why don't you contact VFA-106's PAO to see if they'd be happy to show you around? That's what I did and had a great morning with them on the flightline.

Re: NAS Oceana and NAS Norfolk tours
Had a bus tour around Norfolk a few years ago. Went to see the preserved stuff but not taken onto the airfield side.
