I had to stop during one of my recent misadventures across America and take a picture of this aircraft. This was one of those places that I least expected to find an aircraft in RAF livery. You folks will know it in record time.

Gah, I know this...I want to say its a Hawker something or other...

 

[Pauke! Pauke!]

Not a Hawker. It's a 2 seater side by side like a Grumman A-6

Ah. I was based at SLC for two years. I thought the place looked familiar, but I couldn't peg it.

I saw an A-10s with the Utah Air Nation Guard taxi out on the tarmac. I was to far away and to slow to get my camera out of my bag to get a pic.

Does this look familar to you?
