Boots Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 the one that looks fake to me, is the Aggies flyover. The shadow on the stadium has the sun to the left of the picture. On one of the planes, the shadow off the verticle stabilizer has the sun from the right. On most of the planes there's no shadow at all. All the other ones look real though.

USS Redskins Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Great shots! The Drill team is real. The guys at FedEx during halftime at the Rams game were incredible. They were tossing guns all over the place. good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boots Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 The A-6E is a version of the A-6. The A-7, A-6, and F-14 were all replaced by the F/A-18. You're right. what I meant was EA-6. The eletronic warfare version of the A-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artmonkforHOF Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Somebody please explain to me what is going on in this photo. Looks like they are very high above the deck, but attached to some kind of pole. It doesnt look like they have parachutes. This photo is blowing my mind right now.

Mongo2365 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 You're right. what I meant was EA-6. The eletronic warfare version of the A-6. Yeah they still fly those. I don't care what anyone says but when those things went to full power on the cat they were louder than any of the fighters and would rumble the hell out of your insides.

The couple of times I was unlucky enough to be on the flight line when they were running up an A-6, they were much louder than anything else around.

Capt Rich Fla Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 huh, what are the planes that are on carriers now that look like A-6? I was on the Abe Lincoln last year and there were planes that looked just likek it. It was used for radar jamming. What is the name of that plane?

The MarDet (Marine Detachment) on our boat would always do this. They have a harness attached to the back of their uniform and would get lowered out of the helicopter like 10 at a time. The helo would then lower them onto the flight deck. I think it's a technique for boarding ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May still be the A-6, but the electronic version, that would be used for radar jamming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo2365 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 EA-6'sthey have a bigger tail and are used for radar jamming and other electronic warfare And have gold plated canopies to protect the crew from the radiation that the jamming gear would send out. You guys were told to open your mouths a little? I never heard that when I was in. They just didn't care about us I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This photo must have been taken before they are lowered to the deck. That is some crazy ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike619 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 What's the differense? E = electronic A = attack EA = electronic/attack B = bomber S = anti submarine H = helo F = fighter C = cargo K = tanker P = ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo2365 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 P stood for patrol. The big difference between the EA-6B and the A-6E was that the 6E only had a crew of 2 while the EA-6 had a crew of four. The E was an attack plane while the EA-6 was an electronic warfare platform. The EA-6 carries HARM (High speed Anti-Radiation Missiles) that they would use to shoot at enemy radars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
