I'm wrong, apparently they have stuff
Yeah, the F-35C Demo team sell stuff and they had a merchandise tent at the Jones Beach show earlier this year.
I was just hoping to get one of their Demo Team patches that they were ran out of at Jones Beach.
I bumped into one of the VFA-125 officers (wasnt sure if he was one of the pilots or a ground pounder) at the O-Club on Friday after they flew-in. I asked about them having swag and he said they didnt bring anything to Oceana for the show. I believe only the Viper team had swag since VFA-106 typically doesnt sell their demo swag. I ended up getting some Blue Angel senior enlisted swag (t-shirt and coins) from one of their Senior Chiefs at the Officers Club friday night from the trunk of his rental car though haha

Thanks for the F-35C Demo info and great pics!

Like most of the board :lol: I did Andrews on Saturday and Oceana on Sunday. Primary reason for going to Oceana was to see the F-35C Demo Team, and they didn't disappoint. Overall thought the airshow was great, good mixture of performers and I enjoyed the pace of the show. Statics were light, but still an interesting mix. Really like that all the swag tents are grouped together, although after going a little OTT on swag purchases at Andrews I didn't go too crazy this year at Oceana! Cursed my luck at missing the Viper Demo tent though, I've seen them five times this year but each time I've found the tent no coins, this show I missed the tent and saw on IG they had a bunch of coins in stock...

Anyway, here's a few of my pictures:
