The first time I EVER flew into Oceana (assuming this was ivo NAS Oceana and not some other base in the VB area), I was amazed that the 180 for Rwy 05 was right over Lynnhaven Mall! Humanity has built right up to the airfield fence in every direction.
Hope the crew and everyone on the gorund comes out OK.

While working AFRC man days at Hurlburt, we dealt with a gentleman who complained that helicopters and C130s flew over his house all day/evening long. Once PA discussed this with him, we found out he moved to Fl from the NE and moved into a house UNDER the PATTERN.
But we digress...news says no one was seriously inured and both pilots punched out? Also the jet was ditching fuel on the way into the base.
