Obviously, you haven't been around NAS Brunswick

There are quite a few folks up here who wear them; I would be among them if
I had the extra cash...

My last trip to Brunswick was January 1995 for a week. DANGED cold! I was
flying some test hops in the Intruder in my poopie suit--two 2 hour flights
per night from 2200 - 0000 and from 0130 - 0330 mostly at low altitude. The
locals must have loved us.

I didn't see enough P-3 types on those working hours to get a good enough
sampling of uniform habits.

You guys should get medals for surviving those winters.

I remember the time I was relaxing in Norfolk in 65 degree heat, and got
the call to shoot up to Brunswick so we could Link 11 with a ship at
Bath Iron Works. Milk run. Full stop included, so we could get some
lobsters for HomeLant. Check the weather...20 degrees and blowing snow.
Ouch!

Good thing I was the plane commander, so the nugget could preflight for
the way back.

Jeeze...I spent three years ('59-'62) there in VP-21 (P-2V).
Aviation Greens would have been comfortable even in June!
My last winter there ('61-'62), we had 21 straight days when
the temperature never rose to zero at any time. It would drop
to minus 25-30 at night. For enduring the Brunswick climate,
we were rewarded with deployments to Iceland and Newfoundland,
both warmer than NHZ.

Sounds like NAS Glenview - without the lobsters. g
