Nachtwulf Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I was lucky enough to see an OV-1D do an aerobatic display in 1982 at Ft. Huachuca Az. Best maneuver was a hammerhead stall turn. Really cool! Thanks for sharing the pictures!! They are wonderful! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 The unholy result of sex between an E-2 and A-6. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Those first 3 photos should give someone a colour matching heart attack I reckon. I'm rather interested in the short stubby looking thing under the outer wing on 25902 with the airscoop underneath, I'm guessing that isn't the IF counter measures pod. Steve.

The Tomcat was also produced by Grumman and that is still one of the best looking fighters in history. Each to their own, I guess.....

Just to clarify - I love every Grumman plane - Wildcat, Hellcat, Tigercat, Bearcat, Panther, Cougar, Tiger, Tracer, Tracker, Intruder, Tomcat, Hawkeye, and all the others, and also the Mohawk. It's a sterling pedigree! Cheers Hans J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Hi, Hans. Now I have re-read your post, I can see it was written to be positive and not a criticism. My "bad" - I will learn not to jump to quick conclusions, some day. Cheers. Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
