The P-8As are coming to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, according to the Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. Jonathan Greenert, who visited Oak Harbor Tuesday with U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen.
After getting a tour of one of the new P-8A aircraft at Boeing in the morning, the two headed to Whidbey Island and made a brief stop between engagements on base at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7392 on Goldie Road in Oak Harbor to meet with local VFW officers and the media.
“Whidbey Island is in our future,” Greenert said. “(Bringing the P-8A to NAS Whidbey is) the Decision of Record and our plan is to remain committed to that decision.
