No offense taken, Fudog. Throw right in, but keep a close eye on the
carrots of the posts.
I responded to Peter Vecchio's (seemingly tongue and cheek):
"No place full of attack pukes would be a 'Master' base...."
Not Moe's rather intelligent question (which I didn't know the answer to).
In fact, I'm slightly surprised that I don't know Moe (no mo?), but I find
that the longer I do this thing, the less folks I know.
I've got no beef with Whidbey, VAQ, or VA pilots (having been one myself).
I simply state that the terms "attack pilot" or "attack puke" died with the
Intruder, and that strike-fighter is the "new" thing (still about 8 or so
years old), and there haven't been attack aircraft at Whidbey since
1996/7--unless you want to count Electronic Attack (what used to be called
Tactical Electronic Warfare).
By the way, I haven't lived in a desert since 1996. |:-)

Been a long time posting follow ups. but had to clear things up here,
desert woody. Moe is a Prowler Stick and one of the best. Don't know
where you got that "dating yourself" stuff. No offense intended, just
wanted to throw that in.

Does anyone know what the criteria are for designating a NAS as a master

a premier jet base. Any leads would be great. Google wasn't very helpful.

Dude, you're dating yourself. There are no attack pukes at Whidbey... Or
anywhere else in the Navy.
Whidbey is populated by Prowler crews and P-3's. Attack pukes died when the
Intruders were turned into coral reefs. It's all Strike-Fighter now.
