This is part two to my NAS Oceana posting. Where the last posting dealt with the performers, this one presents the static displays. Some of the pictures were shot Friday evening, others were done on Saturday. You can tell which ones are which by the lighting.

A quick disclaimer here -- I tend to ignore non-military displays. As such, I did not take pictures of most of the warbirds or civil aircraft that were present. I just don't find them that interesting. Sorry.

I tried to catch the serial numbers and/or BuNos on the aircraft, but my seven year old shadow got impatient when I took too long on any one aircraft. I did do some walk-around photo sessions (noted in the pictures below), but I tried not to press my luck too far.

Enjoy the pictures.
