Gonna be down for a weeks vacation the week after Easter, got a condo rented. Anything interesting down there??? Never been down to that area before, I know VA beach pretty well. Any good food, things to do? Looks like I might check out False Cape SP, although won't have my truck if they have 4WD driving
 Looks like the Navy Base has it closed in at the north, not going there!
I know of some good gunshops, Tidewater Military Traders there next to Oceana NAS is a must go for me. |

The park is a no go for trucks, The National wildlife Refuge is the end of the road to the south. Only access the park by boat or by the tram in the NWR. which is seasonal and probable not running until june.
Blue Petes, Margie and Rays, decent nearby restaurants. The Island Grill is here in sandbridge, decent food. Simply steamed is a take out place here that makes seafood and is good. The Baja is on the south end, decent place nice scenery on the bay. Nothing else here but houses and beach and bay. Not really any gun shops real close by. |

Only hangar i know of that doesn't have benches is the german cottbus hangar. some of the hangars are set farther down the road, but they can run a shuttle down there if you want, or sometimes they'll let you drive your own car down there if you don't feel comfortable walking.

Yeah, they have a WWI hangar down a little road from the main hangar. Easy walk but you can drive or they will run a shuttle. You gotta take the time to see it. Usually they're flying something, can be anything from a bi plane to a Mosquito or P-51. You don't normally see that at other museums. When I was there, I had recently read about a ME-262 they had just acquired. I asked a guide about it and he said they keep it at a facility in Suffolk because it was setting the grass strip on fire. I don't know if the place in Suffolk is a museum or just private storage.
