MusAlp, carrier birds can never be too dirty. Yours, is perfect. Also, I like your weapons mix, not something you would see in real life, but it shows what this beast (A-6) could easily carry.

Very well done, Sir.

Nifty mud mover. Vietnam era?

Here is a background story for the plane:

 

â€On the night of 16 March 1968 a division of 'Panthers' was launched to conduct a low-level strike on the railway marshalling yards north of Hanoi at Khe Nu. One of the Intruders (NG 510 BuNo 152940), flown by Lt Cdrs Ed Shuman and Dale Doss, was hit by AAA while at high speed when only some 200 ft above the ground. They both ejected and were soon made PoWs. â€
