Air Power Demo
Flag passing ceremony In keeping with the theme of the 2012 NAS Oceana Air Show, “Our Flag was Still There,” a flag passing ceremony will be held on both Saturday and Sunday. Accompanied by the reading of “Old Glory,” the moving ceremony is a tradition in the Navy at retirements and other patriotic military ceremonies. Shown is the flag passing during a retirement at NAS Oceana last month. Photo by MC3 Antonio Turretto Ramos

Make sure you have your cameras ready for this signature Oceana Air Show event. The sky will darken when this “aluminum overcast” passes over the crowd as locally-based squadrons show their colors. The number and type of aircraft that participate is different every year, so you’ll just have to wait and see how loud the “sound of freedom” will be!
