FLEET WEEK `96: SAILING, SINGING, FLYING AND FUN

Fleet Week Hampton Roads `96 hits the region Oct. 8-13, bringing military pomp, parading ships, parachuting commandos, concerts and sporting events aimed at celebrating the Navy's role in the area.

A highlight will be the chance for more than 1,200 people to take a 10-hour voyage on one of five Navy ships, becoming ``Sailor for a Day.''

What follows is a partial schedule of events for sailors and landlubbers alike. For an up-to-the-minute schedule, call Infoline at 640-5555, ext. 4688.
