Neat pic.

What gets me is the fact that the drop tank and bomb configurations are opposite on the two aircraft. Sure hope both pilots took notes, as it would kinda' stink having to keep your motor running off a 500 pounder after dropping your reserve fuel on the target. :oops:

Doh!

Looking more carefully at the mixed loads both birds are carrying, I'm guessing they're hauling napalm rather than more fuel (I gotta' stop posting in the morning).

The pic may have been taken at NAS Oakland or NAS Alameda, the bridge in the background resembles the Bay Bridge which connects Oakland and San Francisco.
Looks like Yerba Buena Island in the middle of the bridge span.
