SUMMARY:23rd Annual Patriot Day Memorial Ride
DESCRIPTION:If you liked the Extortion 17 memorial ride on August 3rd you may be interested in this ride.  Our friends at the Virginia Patriot Guard have a ride in remembrance of events from 9/11/2001. This NEVER FORGET escorted ride will start at the Dismal Swamp Canal State Park (the address on this page within the blue box under “VENUES”).  From there drive through Camden ending in downtown Elizabeth City.  The ride should last between 1/2 hour and 45 minutes and is open to all vehicles.  A link to this event on Facebook is here.  The event flyer is here. \nWe need to arrive at park at 8:30AM.  The event starts at 9:02AM.  The briefing starts at 9:37AM\, at 9:59AM will be an invocation by the Chesapeake Fire Chaplain then a moment of silence.  The run starts rolling at 10:15AM.  It’ll take 20 minutes for all to rollout of the park and start heading for Camden.  The ride will be escorted by several local NC police to include county\, Elizabeth City\, and Currituck departments.  The ride ends in downtown Elizabeth City at the Chief Petty Officers Association (CPOA – the address is on this page in the blue box under “VENUES”) which is near the Perry/Performance Chevrolet dealership.  The CPOA will be sponsoring a BBQ lunch there and while staged at the park we will be asked if we wish to attend the BBQ so an appropriate amount of food can be prepared.  I don’t have the cost for the BBQ\, but plan to attend. \nWe will first meet at the New York Bagel Company (the address is on this page within the blue box under “VENUES”) at 7:45AM and sign our NCCC waiver.  Get there earlier if you wish to purchase breakfast (they open at 6:30AM).  We’ll leave at 8:00AM and head for the park.  If you wish\, you can just meet us at the park at 8:30AM. \nIf interested\, please RSVP below\, sign up at the September business meeting\, or contact me.  For below\, please let us know where you will first meet the group at either the New York Bagel Company or the Dismal Swamp Canal State Park.  Know that if the weather is bad\, the ride may be canceled. \nHere is a list of Beachcombers (listed by car) who plan to attend and where to first meet the group: \n\nPatrick Nolan / Dismal Swamp Park\nBill Kaelin / New York Bagel Company\n\nThis list will be updated periodically.  This list last updated on September 10th.

SUMMARY:2024 Oceana Air Show
DESCRIPTION:For many years\, the Beachcombers have been supporting the Virginia Patriot Guard Riders with their vignette at the Oceana Air Show.  This year will be like last year with our cars on the Tarmac each day of the air show as part of the “Static Display”.  We will be adjacent to where the VPG will have their motorcycles (left/southwest of show center).  We will be escorting dignitaries in our cars each day of the air show.  Knowing the Oceana Air show website (here) indicates the air show is Saturday and Sunday.  There is an air show on Friday.  The Friday air show is not open to the public.  It is open only to DOD members\, their families\, and STEM 5th graders from local schools.  We will open the air show each day.  This year’s theme is “Inspire\, Educate\, Soar”.  Our vignette will start at 10:00AM and should be finished around 10:30AM or so.  After the vignette\, you can leave NAS Oceana or return to the static display and watch the air show.  Later if you wish\, you will be able to leave before the end of the air show.  The air show will end after the Blue Angles fly.  They are scheduled to start at 3:00PM. \nLt. Amanda Lee\, a graduate of ODU (B.S. in Biochemistry)\, will be flying Blue Angel #4 (the slot)\, during the show.  The link here has all of the officers on the current Blue Angel’s team.  You can read about her\, as well as all of the team members. \nAll drivers and passengers need to be vetted!  Alternates too!  We will be filling out forms for this special base access.  The exception to this is if you have a DOD ID which already gives you base access.  Our vetting form was submitted August 28th.  So now\, only Beachcombers with DOD IDs (or others who are on the vetting paperwork) can fill in if you cannot make it. \nWith our support each of the 3 days of the air show\, we will be needing 6-8 cars each day on Saturday and Sunday.  On Friday\, we can have 8 cars\, but some may not be participating in the vignette.  If we already have 8 cars on Friday\, 8 on Saturday\, 8 on Sunday\, please sign up as an alternate for which days you can be available.  It is inevitable that personal reasons get in the way of attending\, and we need to go down the list of alternates who have been vetted to ensure we have enough cars to support the VPG. \nWe have a special guest this year!  Richard Petty’s grandson\, Thad\, will be participating in our vignette on Saturday and Sunday!  He will be in his NASCAR truck and parked alongside our group.  A link to read a little about Thad is here. \nKnow that this is a rain or shine event!  Should the Air Boss running each day’s Air Show decide to cancel/postpone that day’s show due to weather\, I’ll let each participant know. \nFor those interested in knowing more about the Virginia Patriot Guard\, you can visit their website here. \nWe will be staging on base each day at 7:30AM at the Navy Exchange (NEX) which off of Tomcat Blvd and before/outside the Main Gate (Gate 1). The address of the NEX is within the blue “VENUES” box on this page which has a navigation link for your cell phone when driving in your car.  We will roll when all participants have arrived or no later than 8:00AM turn left on Tomcat Blvd and proceed through the Main Gate.  Once past the Main Gate\, we will proceed to where we have our static display which will have us roll through an on-base checkpoint.  For participants specific details will be forthcoming with an email each will receive before Monday\, September 16th. \nHere are the beachcombers participating (listed by car) each day at the Air Show: \nFriday\, September 20th (cars listed after the 8th are alternates): \n\nBill Kaelin\nMike Ware\nAnnie Lahren\nPete Taylor\nJohnny Jones\nBob Bray\nTom Quicke\nJay Vega\n\n\n\nSaturday\, September 21st (cars listed after the 8th are alternates): \n\n\nDee Dee and Howard Hodges\nWendy Hanson and Bill Kaelin\nLV and Tank Torain\nPreston Powers\nRuth Baum\nTerrie and Kent Wagoner\nAnnie Lahren\nPete Taylor\n\n\n\nSunday\, September 22nd (cars listed after the 8th are alternates): \n\n\nBill Kaelin\nJohn Pitts\nKaren and Dave Ambrose\nAnnie Lahren\nRalph Scichilone\nKristie Hollingsworth\nPete Taylor\nMike Ware\n\n\n\n  \nThese lists will be updated periodically.  These lists last updated on September 21st.
