Snow in Whidbey Island?

[tjamz]

Yep, you've never seen wind like wind at NUW and the pass funnels it through there. This happened more than once a year when I was out there. Not unusual to have 40 kts at the base as fronts come through.

Dec of 90, just before went on a cruise, had a storm come through above 60 kts and the house was out of power for six days. Of course I was underway on nuclear power by that point so the roomies got to deal with it.

the wind seems to really pick up around christmas every year

Do I smell another Punk on our hands? I know, I know, what an insult.

no not a punk! or an insult! Whidbey sounds very nice, if we can't get Oceana, I wouldn't mind WA. We will see next Wednesday! I would prefer getting a little closer to home.

Right now the expected date is the end of July . . . my skipper told me earlier that there was a slot they could slide if noone put it first, but that was when I was supposed to wing the end of June. So who knows now? Keeping fingers crossed I do good at the boat.

Speaking of Whidbey ... 4 Oregon ANG F-15's --- REDHAWKS --- came in there Thursday (Friday?) and are still there .... X-Country (?) .... I don't think so.
They came in super-slow ... a basic nice 4-plane ... did the normal AF "falling-leaf" break ... don't think they were taxed too much ...



That's gotta be a first for a long, long time. Sooooooooo .... what's goin' on ... ???

^^ Probably there to support a BFMC training period - annual requirement for Prowler aircrews. PM if interested in the details.
