The picture linked is an A-6E from VA 52, based at Whidbey Island while attached to Carrier Air Wing 15 on the USS Kitty Hawk. It is an old picture since the plane still has the gull grey over white paint scheme, phased out in the early 1980s. CAW 15 was disestablished March 1995

I didn't say that was an S3, I'm aware what that looks like from the front and rear (but not from that perspective for sure). I said it was a great picture, and I said I liked the look of the S3. I'm a military brat, spent my life around many of these aircaft for 20 plus years.
Got to see what I think were some of the best ones in the 70's and 80's.
