    On 27 March 1991, two Carrier Air Wings, CVW-17 and CVW-3, returned to Oceana. This may have been the first time in history, two Air Wings returned from combat, to the same base on the same day.

Trivia question, how did I know these were CVW-17 jets?

OK, screwed up again, this image represents CVW-3, not CVW-17. I've requested the admin make the correction. The lead Intruder was 162190.

Note the smokey TF30s powering the Tomcats.
