This page is
dedicated to the crews, on the ground and in the cockpit, who made
the A-3 Skywarrior fly and kept her flying.
These photos
where gleaned from the archives. Not all will have proper
identifications but that will be part of the fun. You figure out who
they are! What details are available will be included. If you know
names, let us know. Enjoy!
If you like
these, send more to... tanker@a3skywarrior.com
Click on thumbnail image to view
larger version. Some will take slightly longer to load as the format was
left large enough for you to identify faces.

"Man Up!"
VAH-2 Det 61, WestPac 67-68. Along with the first EKA-3Bs of
VAW-13, Heavy 2 sent KA-3Bs aboard USS Ranger.
The only one I can identify is Steve (SL) Miller, AMH-2, in the center
who was a part of the VAW-13 det but shared whale duty all around.
