Here's our EP-3E on deployment in Souda Bay, Crete, on deployment in Bahrain with a Brit plane in the back ground and Ranger 00 (we called her double nuts) on a two plane mission over Bosnia.
That brit plane is a Nimrod I think bud. I agree. Too big to be a Buccaneer.
Edit- Victor

Check this beauty out. I'm not going to beat a dead horse but it is a damn shame that we don't have Tomcats in the air right now.

We should have bought more Raptors. I completely agree.

I can't decide whether the Gulf coloured Bucc or the Navy coloured Bucc is the best.

No, I just mean which look the best. Dark blue or sand?

We were flying into Aviano AFB in Northern Italy after a mission over Bosnia and the weather was really bad. We were on approach just behind a Buccaneer when it got hit by lightning ripping a hug gash n it's center fuel tank. It declared an emergency, landed safely, but spilled fuel all over the runway resulting in us having to circle around while they got it off the runway. While we were orbiting we got struck in our refueling probe.
The lightning ran down the port side of the airframe and exited out the top of the vert stab popping out about 300 rivets and shredding the fiberglass fairing on the top of the vert stab. I wish I had a camera, but the gash in that Buc's fuel tank was huge!!! Aviano Italy was a really bad place to spend three days while they fixed the plane....seeing the Italian Alps off in the distance, drinking Italian beer and gorging on the food.

Sounds like hairy stuff.
