Snoqualmie Pass - Fighter Jets

[xantegh]

I have seen the fighter jets passing over Snoqualmie pass this morning around 11AM; based on what I have heard from from friend is that they often make low pass through the mountains there.

Does anyone know the details? which AFB they come from, what is the path and where could be a nice spot for photography? any site that publishes the training dates & times?

Before I retired from the Yakima Fire Dept, I was stationed at the Yakima Airport on crash fire rescue equipment. We would regularly get A6 and A6E's that would be going to and from Naval Air Station on Whidbey Island to Boardman Oregon for practice bombing runs. They would routinely make touch-and-go's at the airport and many times if they had fire warning lights they would make emergency Landings at Yakima. Their path was through Snoqualmie pass.

Many moons ago I got to have a simulated bombing run on a dam we were standing on. Quite a sight to see for a young boy scout. (Early 90's)

VERY common to see the Whidbey jets flying NOE thru Stevens and Snoqualmie Passes and down the Columbia River.
