I thought that the A6 had been retired?

Nice shotThey still have the EA-6 variant active, which that one is - see the antenna on the fin?

We came outside and saw the two A-6s coming straight at me with landing gear down. I stood and watched. I got to the car and noticed the first one coming around for landing, evidently they made a low pass and then peeled off to come back around. I grabbed the 40D with the 28-135mm and shot the first one and then got about 12 more shots(this one) of the second. They are BIG jets!!
