A Winnebego and an A-4??
Check out this Google earth position.
RVs and cut up F-14s and an A-4??? 36.8314360 -76.0281920 |
I tried to look it up on the regular google map, it wont let me see it.

Interesting... it looks like a run down trailer park for regional FO's.
|
It kinda looked like an F4 to me. The jet on final to 23R appears to be an F18, as is the jet on 23L.

Woah I must have been looking at the wrong thing. Nice.

I think you are correct. The aircraft on final and on the left active do appear to be 'bugs'. Is that a -16 holding short of the left side? |

Looking at the ramp....you can tell where the tomcats have parked! http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...=16&iwloc=addr |
Looks like three ****ters (H-53 T/M/S) too.

Navy Oceana? And F-18s
Gents:
Look closer: This is one of the Navy Fields at Norfolk--either Oceana or Apollo Soucek. I was at NAS Norfolk last week, and it isn't this runway configuration. Pan down to the main ramp, and you'll see scads of F-18s. In the flare, on the right runway, is a grey F-18. Taxiing or landing on a parallel is a brown camoflauge Aggressor (or "Gomer") Hornet. The jet holding short is also a Hornet. The jet in the junkyard appears to be an A-6 with the wings yanked. A-6s often get used as "Battle-Damage Repair" airplanes. IE, they punch holes in them, sheet metal guys make crude patches, fire department uses it for training, etc. Since the A-6E went away in the 1992-1994 time frame, it is plausible--of course, who knows how old this pic is? Don't think they are Winnebagos; I think they are CONEX shipping containers. |
