This pic shows how huge the Tomcat really is. We used to call it the 'flying tennis court'. The Intruder could carry 28 MK-82 500-pound bombs w/o taking the gear doors off. I've done it once off the coast of Okinawa at a range called W-174. It was 'one-pass-haul-a$$', in actuality, I had to overfly the island to let shrapnel collectors know I was about to drop. I'd fly low enough so they could see I was 'loaded'. In the turn I saw these 'collectors' get in their boats and speed off. The island momentarily disappeared after the drop. Geez, that was nearly 40 years ago.
The A-6 was a great platform but it was butt-ugly; a plane only a mother could love.
We used refer to the A6 as a Pregnant Guppy

WWII Ardie motorcycle at Utah Beach Landing Museum, Normandy.
Ardie was a company in Nürnberg, Germany that manufactured motorcycles from 1919 until 1958. The company's name derives from that of its founder, Arno Dietrich. During the Second World War the company made a model with Ardie's own design of 350cc twin-cylinder side-valve four-stroke engine.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Wz3jSNor1EOur venture into the close by Estuary Park located in our Alaska neighborhood found us trapped as al Moose blocked our exit on the trail leading home. Just a week earlier a similar sized Moose had attacked another Alaska venturer in an Alaska community with the would be photographer losing his life.
Watch as the Moose separates us from a safe return and crosses on the trail ahead of us.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvitRVvxUKQShare in our encounter of a Moose while hiking on a trail in Campbell Creek Esturary Area. Fortunately the Moose was more intent on grazing the park's vegetation than charging at us.
Located in a suburb of the City of Anchorage, Alaska, the Natural Area was formerly the site of one of the few farms in the city. The farm's cleared open field has now grown over with natural vegetation which is accessible by an improved trail that extends out to a bluff area outlook and bird blinds which face the ocean waters and Point Resolution where Captain Cook's men hoisted the British Flag and claimed the surrounding land on his final voyage.
