Photo Comment

Assigned to Carrier Air Wing 13, this Attack Squadron (VA) 55 "Warhorses" Intruder was used in the air show at NAS OCeana (VA) on 19 September 1987. Only weeks later, on 28 September 1987, the squadron embarked its carrier, USS Coral Sea (CV-43), for a Mediterranean cruise. The intruder was delivered to the US Navy in 1967 and was withdrawn from use and scrapped at NAS Norfolk (VA) in October 1992.
