This early afternoon, June 25, 2022 a group of jets flew down the Sound like Blue Angels. They flew high, but were very impressive. There was a formation of four with a fifth flying above them. I was quite certain that they were from the base on Whidbey Island.

My neighbor helped me by sharing that NAS Whidbey has electronic warfare squadrons that fly the EA-18Gs variant of the FA -18 airframe; it is probably a group of them that flew by.

Non Sibi Sed Patriae, and like the Coast Guard, Semper Paratus!
