Hi all,
I thought you guys might like to see some shots I took whilst working onboard the IKE last week. I have literally 100’s of images to trawl through so if you would like to see some more, just shout!
Hope you like them
Si

Just makes you long for the day when the CVF’s will enter service! I only wish the Air Wing was made up entirely of Royal Navy Pilots equipped with F-35C’s.:(

Yeah, yeah yeah. . . same pug nose, same two engines.
And because it has no burners it sounds just awesome on the cat shot!

Not an Intruder, a Prowler.
The EA-6B has its own official name, to note its changed role and the 4-man crew (ok, usually 3, but it has the seats).

All of the models named Intruder were two-man versions… A-6A/B/C/E attack birds, KA-6D tankers, and EA-6A jamming aircraft.
The last was a USMC development for the Vietnam war, and its success led the USN to develop the Prowler.
When I was at NAS Whidbey Island in late 1982 for my school on the A-6E FLIR system, the USMC reserve squadron there still had their EA-6As.
EA-6A:
