Back in 90 I was deployed to Roosevelt Roads Porto Rico on a drug interdiction tasking. Our E-3B/C Sentry aircraft were involved. While there I saw some EA-3's still on duty flying out of Rossy Roads.

Why is it marked : '' ARMY '' ?

 

[Viking1066]

The specific Douglas YEA-3A Skywarrior with Bureau Number 130361 (constructor number 9262) was briefly transferred to the United States Army in April 1963. Originally built as a Navy A3D-1 bomber in 1955, converted into an electronic countermeasures variant, and redesignated YEA-3A in 1962, it served with the Army for less than a year before being returned to the Navy in 1964

Army? How'd our guys in green pull that one off?

The Army can't have fixed wing attack aircraft. Thems the rules.

A good example of how variable the camera fitment and aperture location was between aircraft.

Hawker Hunter T7A, still in use by a UK private firm for test and training purposes. From Flight Journal.

Back around 2007 I was down in Melbourne at the mall, heard a noise, and looked up to see a 2 seat Hunter flying over. Probably was involved with some kind of a test program for Harris Corp or Lockheed Martin.
