All eyes were on the skies for the NAS Oceana Air Show! The event, which took place September 21-22, brought together over 100 vendors and 300,000+ spectators for one of the nation's largest military air shows. Locals who've grown accustomed to the motto, "I Love Jet Noise" and those who aren't local, look forward to this event each year as it gives them a rare opportunity to come aboard an active military base and sit right on the flight line to watch their favorite jets, including the F-22 Raptor demonstration team. The event's main draw, however, are the Blue Angels, who travel the country conducting more than 60 shows in a 6-month period. Their precision during death-defying maneuvers is unlike anything you've ever seen before, and Patient First had a front row seat to all the action.
Patient First has been a supporter of this event for many years, as it's one of the few events that offers us the opportunity to connect with our local military. Over the course of the two-day event, we connected with numerous civilians, active and retired military personnel and their families. Like other vendors, we offered airplanes to the kids to help them pass the time while they eagerly awaited the Blue Angels to perform. We connected with several families who were familiar with our services, and others who were new to the area. In all, it was a great event and one we look forward to attending year after year!
