2024 NAS OCEANA AIR SHOW

Performers: Skydive Suffolk Ken Rieder, the flight lead, has over 36 years of experience and 13,000 flight hours, and was in- spired by the Blue Angels as a child. He shared his love of flight with his son, Austin, who started flying at age 14 and now serves as the team’s wingman. Together, they captivate audiences with high-energy aerobatics and that bring the thrill of flight to life! Get ready to experience the thrill of flight from The Redline Team! This father-son duo formation team delivers thrilling aerobatic performances across North and Central America in their cus- tom-built Van’s Aircraft RV-8s. Performers: Redline Airshows

Skydive Suffolk, in conjunction with its part- ner ARNE Aviation, hosts military skydive training, including freefall training, static-line training, and rigging with access to tur- bine-powered side doors and tailgate aircraft to simulate in-service environments. The military skydive training courses can take you from zero freefall

jumps to fully prepared and certified. The training program meets all DoD and SOCOM regulations. Each instructor has hundreds – if not thousands – of jumps and knows all the ins-and-outs of mili- tary skydive training. Jumping out of ARNE Aviation’s C23A Sher- pa, Skydive Suffolk’s hi-performance jumpers will ‘swoop’ in at high speeds, circling towards earth in a spiral to build up speed before leveling off and landing right in front of the crowd.

Performers: World’s Largest Rubber Duck

For the first time, the NAS Oceana Air Show will be hosting the World’s Largest Rubber Duck.

Although this bird is flight- less, the sheer size of it is truly something to behold. Affectionately named “Mama Duck,” this colossal yellow duck has been seen all over the world. Serving

to inspire, this astonishing rubber giant will have you feeling awestruck and nostalgic. Keep your eye out for this Big Duck, it’s something you’re not going to want to miss.
