best spots to spots at Norfolk are a parkinggarage on Signonella ave/Ingersol ave. And to see the Sea Stallions you need to drive to O'Conner cresent in Willoughby Norfolk.

..

It might be worth noting that although this parking garage is indeed an excellent spot, it is also US Navy property, as it is the garage for an enlisted housing area.
When I was there minding my own business in May, a car load of "professionals" turned up and started wandering around waving telescopes. It wasn't long before the first USN Police Car arrived, followed by the second, third, and fourth......
I carried on spotting from inside my car while they were being lifted.

It seems that we were in the area at the same time!

Rogier, it might be helpful to mark the aircraft which were looked-up and not read off by yourself. The Hornets and most of the Stallions were impossible to read from across the bay.

Looking forward to part 2 and 3.
