Been there many times with the Navy. Windiest place I’ve ever been. Winters are too terrible describe. Imagine icy rain coming at you horizontally at 100 MPH as the rooves of all the buildings blow off. Now image landing an airplane in those conditions. After one flight the wind hit 98 knots as we were trying to walk across the ramp. Had to lay-down and use our flight gear as anchors to keep from being blown across the ramp. Hangar doors blew off. Had to use chains to keep the airplane tied-down.
I was the weather guy out there. Briefed the Navy commander when the P3 crews were there and my second tour there I mostly hit the golf course...LOL!!
When the ASW mission went away, the place lost most of it’s life. I must admit, the Navy made it fun.
