I have visited Virginia Beach many times and love to watch the jets go in and out of Oceana. The noise doesn't bother me one bit. In fact, with all the military installations in the Hampton Roads area, I sleep like a baby knowing I'm on one of the best protected pieces of real estate on the earth!

This makes me feel really old!

The last time I was there was when my nephew was a carrier instructor for F-4s and he's been out of the Navy flying for Delta for almost 20 years.

LOL!

You and me both.

I used to ride out on my bike when I was 12 just to watch those birds practice touch and go's!
