A good friend of mine flew the A-6 with VMA(AW)224 while aboard the USS Coral Sea off Vietnam, c. 1971. He passed away several years ago. I wonder if the VMA(AW)224 A-6A in that photo is in the same paint scheme and markings as those aboard the USS Coral Sea in ‘71.

Thanks for posting that photo.

Thanks for posting that pic of the A-6A, Apr. 1971. That’s the one I was curious about in my previous post.

Thanks
Mike

VMA(AW)224 used a different tail scheme than that shown in the photos you have posted. I have a couple of photos of the aircraft. Also have Lou Drendal’s painting of the “224″ A-6A. Hope this is of use. Cheers,Mike C
