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.

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?

Not sure, it looks like half of something :)

Looking at the ramp....you can tell where the tomcats have parked!

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.
