Nice shot. It looks like you still have plenty of snow for skiing there.

Love that plane, such a work horse, and tough as nails. Cool shot. The A-6 Intruder is also a bad ass plane, that gets little of the glamour the fighters get.

Great Shot....Great Aircraft.
There is one on display out on Long Island at the Grumman Memorial Park at Calverton where they used to build these if anyone is ever in the area. Also have a F-14.

Nice shot

Awesome shot! Saw those birds on action when I was in the Navy and they're the loudest of all lol. Just like the Tomcat, they will be missed. :cry:
