Making “Jet Noise” Up FlYING PROMS Close and Personal

By Mike Potter

One of the highlights of a visit to Virginia Beach for many tourists is the opportunity to see their tax money in action at NAS Oceana, the Master Jet Base for the Eastern United States. Due to heightened security concerns, the museum’s 1962 double-decker Roadmaster Bus, with its unique open top and brilliant red paint scheme, is the only way to get on the base and actually go out on to the flight line. If you’ve never taken this trip, it’s a great way to see your military at work and visit an important aviation heritage site as well.

Mike Proffit provided live acoustic music through- out the afternoon. Bright, sunny weather with temperatures in the 60’s made the perfect day for guests to book a ride in the N25 Stearman.

Mossie at Oshkosh Continued Of special interest was the arrival of the Military Aviation Museum’s KA114 Mosquito. The very rare “Mossie” was dubbed the show’s Grand Champion World War II Warbird, along with Best Restoration. Avspecs, Ltd. of Aukland, New Zealand, was recognized with the Gold Wrench award in the same category for their work in restoring the Mosquito. Originally manufactured in Canada in 1945 and constructed almost entirely of wood, restoration of the de Havilland DH-98 Mosquito took 60,000 man hours over eight years. When the Mosquito was finished, it was disassembled and sent to the United States by ship, not an easy task since the 56-foot wingspan is one piece. KA114 is the hallmark of the Military Aviation Museum, located in Virginia Beach, VA, with more than 60 vintage aircraft in the collection. Almost all are airworthy and they are maintained by the expert technicians of the Museum’s maintenance facility, The Fighter Factory. You can learn more about the KA114 and the other aircraft by visiting the Museum’s web site. q VOLUME 8, ISSUE 3 PAGE 7 MUSEUM EVENTS
