A Tomcat of VF-102 "Diamondbacks" at its parking spot after participating in the airshow over Oceana. 162695 was delivered as F-14A to the US Navy in August 1986.

Reserve Fleet Composite Squadron (VC) 12 "Fighting Omars" used this dark, 1966 built, A-4F Skyhawk. VC-12 used the JY tailcode, but this was not carried here. In '88, the squadron was redesignated into VFC-12. On 16 Jul'93, the Fighting Omars flew their last mission with the A-4 and transitioned a year later to the F/A-18A/B Hornet. In 2006 they swapped to F/A-18C/D and in 2021 to F/A-18E/F. This Skyhawk was already retired to AMARC in Aug'93 with inventory code 3A722. It was moved from the storage depot in late 1994 and it appeared on the USS Midway museum in San Diego harbour from 2005.

A nice A-4F being towed away. This Skyhawk was once a Blue Angels star (see picture 155419 at AirHistory from August 1986). It was first delivered to the US Navy in 1967 and was stored at AMARC with inventory code 3A765 on 7 April 1994. It remained their up to 5 January 2005, after which it was scrapped by Fritz Enterprises at Taylor (MI). Adversary squadron Fighting 43 "Challengers" normally carried the "AD" tailcode, but this Skyhawk lacked that code. VF-43 was disestablished on 1 July 1994.

Delivered to the US Navy in 1979 and dumped at the Mountain Home (ID) range after it stranded with technical problems at Mountain Home AFB in early 1995. VA-35 was disestablished on 31 January 1995 and it appeared to be too expensive to repair the Intruder and fly it back to homebase NAS Oceana (VA) for such a short period. The Intruder was last seen in april 1995 at a range. Most probably it was completely destroyed by (air to ground) weapons, just south of Mountain Home is a fake-airfield, Saylor Creek Range, possibly it resided there.

Only delivered in 1985, 162179 belonged to the latest badges of Intruders delivered to the US Navy. There are even many older BuNo's (and older than FY84/FY85 USAF fighters) still flying operational in the USA. Pity these Intruders were retired that soon. 162179 was retired to AMARC for storage (inventory code 5A0252) in March 1997, stricken on 14 June 2002 and scrapped by HVF West, Tucson (AZ) soon after on 5 May 2016. On this picture it is seen with Attack Squadron (VA) 42 "Green Pawns". The A-6 Intruder Fleet Replacement Squadron was disestablished on 30 September 1994.

AB-110 took part in the NAS Oceana airshow and was towed away to a parking spot for the next day flying. The aircraft was that much toned-down, that its BuNo was not identified, not even from this close. But thanks to carrierairwings.com the BuNo of this Tomcat became known. 159019 was last reported as stored at Norfolk in early 1992. It was then struck of charge at that same location in April 1994.

Delivered to the US Navy in 1978, damaged on 18 November 1981 during deck operations on the USS Nimitz (CVN-68) in the Mediterranean Sea but repaired afterwards.

On the picture it is seen with Attack Squadron (VA) 42 "Green Pawns" (from 1992 the nickname changed into "Thunderbolts"). The A-6 Intruder Fleet Replacement Squadron was disestablished on 30 September 1994.

A marvelous looking, but toned-down Intruder of Attack Squadron (VA) 35 "Black Panthers". It was part of Carrier Air Wing EIGHT, at that time assigned to the USS Theodore Roosevelt. The squadron just returned from a cruise with the USS Nimitz (30 Dec'86- 2 Jul'87) which brought the Black Panthers around Cape Horn, from the East Coast to the West Coast. This Intruder was delivered to the US Navy in 1974, was moved to AMARC on 21 December 1995 and remained in storage with inventory code 5A0180 up to February 2016. It was then scrapped by HVF West, Tucson.
