Coupeville NOLF.....as an update for my
Whidbey Island
scenery.
I plan to be done this weekend. There will be a version with arresting wires and one without. Also the arrestor gear and FLOLS trailers at KNUW will be moved to their appropriate locations. There will also be a version without the wires for KNUW.

Here's a few shots....well four really Wink

If anyone has some photos of the tower or any of the buildings I would appreciate access to them.
I'm going off of Google Earth images to determine what the buildings look like Undecided



 

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Brings back a lot of memories Chuck. I was born and raised just across the water in Port Townsend. We used to take the Keystone Ferry and drive to the end of the field and watch the A-6's (back when they had them at Whidbey) practice their approaches, Bolters and such. It was awesome to be that close to them and all the noise! Nice scenery and as always.....nice shots!
