My daughter and son-in-law are both stationed at Brunswick. After the length of winter, my daughter would probably recommend they close the base and move to a warmer climate.
Those planes take a beating in winter up there.
nobody wants to be stationed in Maine - not while in the military. Air Force personal consider Maine a semi-isolated tour - it is where you go if you have bad luck. Time to move the P3 to Hansom in Lexington, MA.
Spring thaw takes place in July. ;-)
