It is. I’ve heard some call it the “cracked TV division.” Those were all painted over when we left the aircraft in the desert for 10th Mountain to use. They were worn out aircraft.

Now that I think of it, my CE took that pic and I was on the controls.

I was 3ID in Germany and First Cav in Texas.
 
Rolled this Yak 18 out of the hangar yesterday. It's going to be dismantled and shipped to a museum in China.

Too bad it's going away, nice looking aircraft.

On the topic of nice looking aircraft, while the F-35C is a capable replacement, I still consider the Harrier to be the most visually appealing VTOL aircraft.

I'm curios about that pod on the wing of the Corsair. Stowage for old laundry? Radar? Legitimately curious.

Taxiing out for take off but yeah doesn’t look like anyone in the back either. Taken right after my first flight in country. Heard the distinctive sound of a Prowler behind me and snapped a shot.

Likely a guy in ECMO 3 seat, the left rear, there are some things that need done back there in certain emergencies so you had to have someone in back unless you were staying the pattern like FCLPs ( field carrier landing practice) you had to someone there.

I personally know a guy who was held at gunpoint on the side of the highway by a state trooper because he decided to wear his orange flight suit on his way to work.

Looks like it's still at VAC, on loan.
