The basic trainer for a rookie Marine pilot was the T2J Buckeye, now being replaced by the T-45. I have seen a lot of Buckeyes, but I have never seen one lettered for the Marines. I shot this one at the Dayton (Ohio) Airshow back in 1999. |

When you have to jam the enemy's radar or locate missle sites, the EA-6 is the aircraft for the mission. This EA-6 is assigned to the "Playboys" of VMAQ-2. This is one of my favorite aircraft. |

The AV-8 Harrier is a close air support aircraft that can perform a vertical take-off or can take-off and land on a carrier. They are sometimes referred to as "jump-jets". Harriers are widely used by the French and British. This particular aircraft just landed at NAS New Orleans. |
