When I was a kid growing up across the bay from San Francisco there was at least one squadron of Skyhawks at NAS Alameda and they'd come up the bay and turn northeast and roar right over my house. Even though the A-4 didn't have an afterburner they were still loud.

Re: Aircraft pics
Here is another shot from the "Willie" area that I caught at lunch time today. This quartet of Harriers (II+) are from the Wake Island Avengers of VMA-211 out of MCAS Yuma. Lettering shows that they are/were attached to the USS Boxer amphibious assault ship.

Re: Aircraft pics
Sam, nice to see the 211 WIA's ocassionally.
My son was an aviator in that squadron of which I visited many times during his tour of duty in Yuma, including a Tiger Cruise from Hawaii after one of his deployments. I think I've said it before on this blog; but I always found it humorus that they nicknamed their squadron "Chicken F_ _ _ers after their tail insignia,CF. HOO RAH & SEMPER FIDELIS...

Re: Aircraft pics
To be honest... this one does it for me. Can you imagine in 1944 being in your P51 Mustang and encountering one of these bad boys? US planes in the Korean War still couldn't surpass the Me-262 at speed.

Re: Aircraft pics
This (I believe) F-104 sits in the woods in New Jersey. Right past Great Adventure/Six Flags.
