A Sukhoi killer at NAS Oceana. This VF-41 "Black Aces" Tomcat (at that time coded AJ-102) shot down a Libyan Su-22 over the Gulf of Sidra, off the coast of Libya, on 19 August 1981. This engagement marked the first USA versus Libya air-to-air engagement. 160403 flew that combat mission together with 160390 (AJ-107) when two Libyan Su-22 Fitters fired upon the Tomcats. The two F-14s subsequently shot down both Su-22s. 160403 received a kill-marking that was still visible six years later. The Tomcat is now preserved at Midland-Odessa (TX).

An A-6E Intruder at the static of Oceana with an unknown (to me) orange pod. It looks like a launch tube for a torpedo.

Some 50 HH-46A SAR helicopters were upgraded to HH-46D. The upgrades included an external rescue hoist near the front crew door on right hand side and a Doppler radar located behind the nose landing gear, which provided for automatic, day/night, over-water hovering capability. Additionally a "Loud Hailer" was installed opposite the crew entrance door for communicating with downed aviators on the ground or in the water. This Delta belonged to Helicopter Combat Support (HC) 8 'Dragon Whales', a squadron that was redesignated into HSC-28 on 13 May 2005 when it started operating the MH-60S.
