Photo Comment

A fine looking Attack Squadron (VA) 34 "Blue Blasters" Intruder tanker with its characteristic speed brakes extended. The aircraft took part in the NAS Oceana air show. It was assigned at that time to Carrier Air Wing 7 of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69). 149486 was delivered to the US Navy in 1963 and stricken and scrapped in July 1992.
