The public is invited to attend an open house at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island at Ault Field 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

The open house is an opportunity for the public to learn about past, current and future operations at the Navy’s only air station in the Pacific Northwest and see the 2016 Navy Installation of the Year.

Aircraft static displays include the EA-18G Growler, P-3C Orion, MH-60 Knighthawk helicopter, the new C-40 Clipper and a visiting P-8A Poseidon, which will soon replace the P-3Cs here.

Planned aerial demonstrations include the EA-18G, P-3C and search- and-rescue helicopter.

There will also be other visual displays, guided bus tours, search-and-rescue and K-9 working dog demonstrations, explosive ordnance detachment displays, bouncy toys for children and a climbing wall.

Aviation memorabilia will also be available for purchase as well as a variety of food and beverages.

Visitors over the age of 18 will be required to have state- or government-issued identification for access to the base.

Due to security measures, the following items are not allowed on the base: large bags, backpacks, weapons, coolers and pets. Additionally, drugs or drug paraphernalia to include marijuana products are prohibited on the base.

It’s OK to bring strollers, diaper bags, small women’s purses, wheelchairs, service dogs, bottled water, cameras and video recorders.
