Just reviewing my pictures of a great day at NAS Whidbey Island. The initial basevisit in the morning was postponed to the afternoon. Therefore the sparetime was used for watching the activities from the outside. Although I always thought that changes for nice views where low, but it turned out quiet well. 1,5 Hour resulted in 2 Orions, 2 Growlers, 1 C-9, 9 Prowlers and a C-17 all taking off and some land.
The guards on highway 20:
