Another Old R.O. Picture of the Day for 30 June 2008
Since my original "A-6" photo for today got threadjacked/threadsplit off into EA-6A RADAR LOVE
... here's another variant of the A-6... the F-4's best friend
... the KA-6D dedicated tanker.

No more wing-walkers when aircraft are moved? It used to take 5 people to move an aircraft on the ground, no more?
AND ... you managed to find a good photo of those elusive fuselage boards, too ... consider that an ironic, perhaps even borderline heroic effort.

TEXACO ... Ol' Smokey's best friend and the "Bagger" and flight time hound's best friend, too ...
Pretty much.
Great minds and all that... That was my first thought when I saw the photo.

Depends, certainly around the ramp in vicinity of other aircraft but we never needed them for hauling it back from the compass rose or such, just a brake rider.
Old R.O. Picture of the Day for 1 July 2008
When Old R.O. was just a SNFO
T-39D NAS Glynco, Ga., spring 1972.
Just before or just after this photo was taken, VT-86 stood up. Before that it was just NATTC Glynco. The squadron moved to Pensacola a couple of years later.
Some of the first air-to-air that I shot... pocket 110 camera.

T-39s are... but not those airframes.
T-39Ds were replaced by the T-47 (around 1984) which was replaced by the T-39N (early '90s).

Point of parliamentary procedure!
