Your son flys in the EP-3E, a lot different than a P-3C.
EP's find the subs and let the P-3's follow them, once the EP-3 tells them where the sub is located.
Then the EP will go do even more important missions.
P-8 is a piece of $hit.

Whidbey is nice. We used to camp in that area a lot (Deception Pass) and were usually awakened by the crows and the planes

Did it rain while you were there?

Over the years, sometimes it did. But we also had some beatiful winters and the summers were mostly nice.
During the last few years there, constantly. The last few winters were the worst with snow and ice, with little snow removal and no salt. Beautiful place during certain times of the year with many good attributes, but I'm not clamoring to get back there
We visited our son there last summer late June - early July. Had eight outrageously beautiful days out of nine. That day was the day we went to Mt St Helens, and it was cold, rainy, and nothing but thick fog at the Johnston Observatory. So we saw nothing but the inside of the visitor center.

The area there is so different when it comes to weather patterns. Being locked between two mountain ranges really does make forecasting difficult
Don't feel bad. We never got see St Helens up close, and we were there 12 years. We did however spend a lot of time camping on Baker during the summer, and that was spectacular
I helped strap him it to a T-45 for the first landing on the USS John F. Kennedy from May-port(there was a naval air station A-7's). I said good luck Dave.I was a civilian with McDonnell Douglas

Btw, i imagine that it was disappointing. I wasn't trying to downplay that
The F-14 was great part of the cold war.

Nice but
What does that have to do with taking a long drive and not being able to see what you drove there to see?

It was, and still is. My son and his wife went later that year and had nothing but blue sky and a great view of the crater. But the rest of our stay in Anacortes was fantastic.
Oh, well - I will see it before I die. On my bucket list of realistic things to do.
