With a lifting harness secured around its fuselage, a damaged Attack Squadron 52 (VA-52) A-6E Intruder aircraft sits at the edge of the airfield. A CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter from Helicopter Combat Support Squadron 1 (HC-1), left, is standing by to carry the aircraft to the Naval Air Rework Facility, Alameda, California, for repairs. The Intruder was damaged when a hydraulic failure forced it to land with its landing gear retracted
