When I lived there, the Navy jets would roar over the Island barely clearing the tree tops...scared the shit out of nesting birds.
We would complain to the Navy base officials, they would apologize, and it would happen again and again.
The only positive thing was all the rain and clouds kept the low flying down.
Now MORE jets?
Oak Harbor base ought to be pretty toxic by now.
