This is a picture that was taken late fall off Northern Japan. It was a picture I snapped while loading an F-14 M61A1 Vulcan Cannon. We were on an exercise the Navy use to call READYEX a long time ago. We had been up off the Aleutian Chain prior to this and it was just starting to warm up again as we headed south.
