If you love to watch military aircraft, Whidbey Island in Washington State is the place.You can camp at Deception Pass State Park or enjoy the beaches near Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.
Take a seat and hear the jets roar or watch the marine patrol aircraft take off and land.
If you have a military ID, you can enter the base for an even closer look at the EA-18G Growler fighter jets ...
... and the larger maritime patrol and reconnaissance P-3 Orions and P-8 Poseidons. All of these planes and their personnel keep our country secure and safe.
In between sorties there are blue skies and white clouds to enjoy. -- Margy
I bet you saw some amazing planes! What a fun way to spend some time on your holiday.

The fighter jets are the most exciting, especially when they turn towards the runway and you can hear their engines roar. - Margy
DeleteVery cool! I just went to an air show last weekend, and had forgotten how exciting it is to see these planes up close.
