Recent local article in the news about Whidbey-P-8 program...still looking for something on JAX and its plans......
May 7, 2013 · Updated: The Navy this week said it plans to more than double the number of P-8A Poseidons destined for Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. Instead of the planned 24 planes, the Navy will station 49 of the sub-hunting jets at the NAS Whidbey, said U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, a Second District Democrat. The news is not entirely unexpected as the Navy announced in November it was studying three possibilities for increasing the number of Poseidons to be stationed at Whidbey Island. Larsen said the plan is make the base home to seven squadrons.The Navy confirmed it will keep the USS Nimitz homeported at Naval Station Everett through at least 2020.The first two squadrons of P-8As arrive at NAS Whidbey in 2015. Another will follow in 2016, three more in 2017 and the last in 2018. Whidbey News Times Staff reporter Justin Burnett at jburnett@whidbeynewsgroup.com or 360-675-6611 ext. 5054.

Has anyone heard if they are going to be getting any more P-8's? and if so do you know where the next set of them are going? I think they had two of them in JAX but we only seen one of them, from a distance:).
