Poor picture taken from a small boat in terrible weather, bumping on the waves while sailing around USS Roosevelt in the port of Wilhelmshaven. We logged seven Intruders from VA-35 "Black Panthers" and seven from VA-36 "Roadrunners". Seen here on the right is 161668 which was shot down in western Iraq during Operstion "Desert Storm" on 17 January 1991. On its left is 159311/AJ-505.
