Major East Coast naval air installation in Virginia Beach.

Opened
1940
Location
Virginia Beach, United States
Naval Air Station Oceana is a United States Navy installation located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, serving as the East Coast Master Jet Base. It is home to numerous strike fighter squadrons flying the F/A-18 Hornet and F/A-18 Super Hornet, and plays a central role in naval aviation readiness on the Atlantic seaboard. The station spans a large area of Virginia Beach and has been a significant part of the region's military and economic identity for decades. While it is a military facility and not a commercial passenger airport, it occasionally handles non-military operations and supports a wide range of naval aviation training and operational missions.
Getting to & from
The installation is accessible primarily by private vehicle via Virginia Beach Boulevard and other local roadways, with no dedicated public transit service to the base.
