Nice. You're right about the Skyhawk...

You're "Prowler" is actually an A6 Intruder... ;) :)

I got one thing to say to that E-2C:
GET ON THE TREADMILL FATTY!

Your F7 Crusader is an A-7 Corsair II.....the F8 is correct as a Crusader

Actually it's an S-2F Tracker. More commonly reffered to by folks like my father who served some time on it as the "Stoof With a Roof!". Nice shots Jake. :)

Oh, I mixed it up with the other Tracer that was on the deck.

And thanks for that correction ken, I knew that F7 sounded wrong
