In the 1950’s, the U.S. Navy set up an outlying airport for Naval Aviation in what was once flood prone farmland. The new facility – which became Naval Air Station Oceana - provided relief to the crowded training airspace to the East over NAS Norfolk.

In the decades that followed, NAS Oceana fully embraced the jet age by becoming the Master Jet Base along the eastern seaboard.  It was home to the F-4 Phantom as the Fleet Readiness Squadron prepping aviators and their crews for carrier deployment.
