Naval Air Staton Oceana is the U.S. Navy F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet fleet’s east coast home, accomplishing 219,000 training operations each year. With this volume of training the flight line is kept very busy. Just some of the things required of the ground crews to get an F/A-18 ready for a training flight include fueling, topping off hydraulic fluid and oxygen, testing avionics and other systems, practice munitions, strut and tire pressure, making sure all fasteners are in place and closed, ensuring the engine intakes are clear, removing any foreign objects from the cockpit, removing dead bugs from the windshield and much more. As depicted here, in July of 2018 the base’s location in Virginia Beach was experiencing the usual very hot and humid weather, making for very uncomfortable working conditions.
