A6 taking off
This a Marine A6, easily the noisiest jet here. This squadron does a lot of flying, I don't know what missions they do here, but I know what they did years ago when I was in the Navy. This model of aircraft can carry very technical communication equipment. It is a stretch version of a traditional A6, notice the second window for additional crew. The windows have a special film put on them so they look goldish.
