Those pics bring back alot of memories. I did one major deployment each on the USS America and the USS Enterprise in the early 1980s. Food wasn't too bad (steak and lobster on a few occasions). We ate lots of roast beef too. My job was maintenance of weapons systems on A-6 Intruders.
Thanks for the pics!

Dude, those are some sweet shots. As much as I enjoyed the time I was able to spend on the Lincoln in '97 and as much as I love the Hornet... it still would have been awesome to be able to see a 'Cat launch and recover. Awesome aircraft.

That's actually an A-6E (regular bomber version) with a "buddy store" on the centerline. The aircraft is also carrying empty multiple ejector racks (MERs) and drop tanks.

The A-6 Intrider is my favorite post 50's military aircraft, foloowed by the F-14, the F-16 and the Mig 29
