NAS Oceana, Dam Neck Annex.... formerly known as ...Fleet Combat Traing Center Atlantic, Dam Neck

I work in the large square building 2nd from the top in the row next to the beach(Gallery Hall)....I went to OS "A" School in the large square building across the street about 11 years ago(Walker Hall)..between the two is the flagstaff and 2 quad mount 40mm AA Guns from the USS Missouri.


This is also home to Special Warfare Development Group..Formerly known as SeAL Team 6(zoom out and it's a compound to the north)

To the Northeast of the base is NAS Oceana...and west is NS Norfolk.

Dam Neck

I will look for you. I wish I had a way of keeping some beer cool or I would offer you a cold one. As it is I will be dry camping in a tent beside the plane.

I have a Blue and White 182 (1958). Registration is C-FKJW.

First time there for me. I am looking forward to it. I should arrive on Tues and will leave on Friday although I might arrive on Wed if the weather is not VFR on Tues.

Thanks for those links.

Nothing gathered from those photos could be of much value. It's not like they are updated all the time..so ship/troop movements and such aren'y an issue...neither is the layout..thats on any local streetmap and given out at most front gates anyway....

Usefull information is how like until last month NAS Oceana had NO perimeter fence around 90% of the base. And been that way since the base was commissioned...of course thats moot now since they just completed it.

I use one of the five day type coolers and put in about 10lbs of dry ice cover that with an old towel then beer and ice. This works for about a week (longer then the case of beer lasts) I will tell you how to get to the nearest store, it's a long walk but I usually get a ride back to the back gate. When you need more beer NO walk is to far. I take all the seats out of the plane except the pilots seat of course and this gives me more room. Beer is ava. from the food venders as well but not near the campers and it's pricey.

Showers are also nearby and nice and clean and hot. Plan on going during the daily air show as morning and evening is crowed.

The field is closed from 1:00 PM local to 5:00 pm (air show so plan you arrival accordingly or go to GIF (Winter Haven airfield) to wait it out.


Really understand the arrival procedure and have then with you as you will be close in trail and landing 3 at a time on the runway (really the taxi way). Don't use the runway unless directed to (I never have been) as that is for the big iron and the are landing at the same time.

Practice your spot landings and don’t stop on the runway for any reason.

It's a hoot and prepare to be overloaded on aviation for the week as its all about flying.  

It's a great time and the weather should be great, last year the nights got a bit chilly (upper 50's) and the days should be low 80's or upper 70's.


See ya there!!

I didn`t suggest anything . My reference was pertaining to the fact that you can get your butt thrown in the pokey for attempting to take pictures of even a train yard by Homeland Security.

On the other hand I don`t beleive it is an overly brilliant thing to do. I also didn`t believe it was overly smart to broadcast troop locations and movements on CNN during the height of the war. Sometimes a little common sense will go a long ways.

Oh no!  Of course you didn't suggest it!  In fact, you're the soul of innocence.  Of course, that doesn't mean that you didn't infer it.  Inference and suggestion are different, right?

Whoops!  Guess I was mistaken again, looks pretty clear that you do, in fact, fit the intent I referred to in my original response.

Don't worry, there's great precedence to generating obviously false map data.  Why, the USSR did it as a matter of policy!

I'm reminded of the following aviation joke:
Quote
Taxiing down the tarmac, a DC-10 abruptly stopped, turned around and returned to
the gate. After an hour-long wait, it finally took off. A concerned passenger
asked the flight attendant, "What, exactly, was the problem?"


"The pilot was bothered by a noise he heard in the engine," explained the flight
attendant. "It took us a while to find a new pilot."


Indeed, if the maps show holes in our security...  we should just get rid of the maps!
