More big aircraft for NAS Whidbey Island?

[The Inspector]

The Navy is looking into stationing more P-8A's @ Whidbey Island. Originally the Navy had planned on basing 4 squadrons of P-8s (24 aircraft). Alternate planning is in the preliminary phases to station up to seven squadrons for an added of 49 additional aircraft or a total of 73 as the P-3's go away.
