The million dollar ride.
Mostly under 500’ AGL (above ground level) and occasionally less than 50’ AGL when ridge cresting.
420-480 knots (480-550 miles per hour)
I miss it so bad I could cry.

When I was 10 or 12 I wanted to do this. Desire never goes away.
I'm glad you gave us height and speed.

What's the white pipe thing on the left?

Refueling probe, canted 11 degrees to the right on the EA-6B. Lesson learned from A-6A through A-6E - the refueling probe on centerline put the sight picture of lining up on the refueling basket right on the canopy rail, so the pilot had to cock his head left to see the basket. Which gets old really fast.

I should have known that. I wanted to fly a little fighter plane. I never thought about being on a ship... though that adds to excitement/glamour.
