Karl Sander Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I'm sure there's more that I haven't uploaded yet... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I'm sure there's more that I haven't uploaded yet... And Intruders..? With the old Navy scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAM'n'IVM Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Nice pics, Kolja. Keep 'em coming if you find more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Karl Sander Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 And Intruders..?With the old Navy scheme. They were retired by the time I started flying, so the only ones I could take pictures of are the one by the front gate at Whidbey, and the one in the city park in Oak Harbor. Regrettable, as I suspect being a BN would have been fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julien (UK) Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Some cool prowler pics there. Interesting to see the stains in the undersides, is this hydraulic fluid? Julien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Karl Sander Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Some cool prowler pics there. Interesting to see the stains in the undersides, is this hydraulic fluid? Julien Either that or oil, or a combination of both - the spots where the leaks originate are near the pumps for both. Probably mostly oil, as the hydraulic fluid is a little redder than what you see there. Remember, it's a Grumman product - if it ain't leaking, it ain't full. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Karl Sander Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Could have swore his call sign was "Sticky." Could be wrong. He showed up right after I left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
schurem Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 very VERY nice paintjobs on some of those old ladies. Actually the 6-E is a pretty graceful bird in a pure side aspect. Nice pics all, thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherC Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Some really nice pictures here! The stars and stripes one is particularly impressive. Btw, in the first pic that Karl posted, is the backseater flipping off the camera? Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The stars and stripes one is particularly impressive.Btw, in the first pic that Karl posted, is the backseater flipping off the camera? Chris Quite possible. I'd have to go dig up the original one to be sure (higher resolution, bigger pic, all that). But it wouldn't be entirely unheard of. We flipped off everything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fishwelding Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I never realized how high you guys, particularly in the forward cockpit, were seated in the prowler. You must have decent visibility below you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scot M Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Quite possible. I'd have to go dig up the original one to be sure (higher resolution, bigger pic, all that). But it wouldn't be entirely unheard of. We flipped off everything. I thought flipping off the camera was SOP to aviation guys.... right up there with the overhead break...
