@JOLY823 I did not get to fly in them. I maintained the communications, navigation, and electronic countermeasures equipment that was not working properly prior to the launch of the aircraft. My equipment got the plane to where it needed to be, and communicate. Other work centers maintained the weapons delivery to the selected ground 'target.'
It was very fun sitting in the ejection seat on the ramp, and operating the same switches the air crew used while inbound to their target.
Was that a bird from VA-115, USS Midway?

@JOLY823 I thought that tail looked familiar. I was an Avionics Tech in that squadron for two years during the Desert Shield/Desert Storm operation.
