SEATTLE — Whidbey Island Naval Air Station spokeswoman Kim Martin said three Navy jets that roared over Seattle on Tuesday were taking part in a photo opportunity.

She said photographers were getting shots of the EA-6B Prowler, and two EA-18G Growlers with Pacific Northwest scenery in them for the Navy.

KING-TV said the jets are painted in World War II themes to celebrate the centennial of naval aviation.
