Photo Comment

A fine looking Attack Squadron (VA) 34 "Blue Blasters" Intruder tanker with a receiver (F-14A 162695/AB-100 of VF-102) connected. Both aircraft took part in the NAS Oceana air show. The KA-6D 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.
