On Whidbey Island south of Deception Pass State Park and north of the town of Oak Harbor lies the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. Used, I'm told, especially for training flights there are times when the area around Deception Pass is filled from dawn to duck with the roar of planes. That was the case one of the days we camped at Deception Pass. There were several different kinds of planes flying short runs out over Cranberry Lake and around over the Rosario Strait to the base, but this was the only one that appeared to be a fighter of some kind, which I've identified as a Boeing EA18 Growler used primarily for electronic warfare. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/09/deception-p...
