Tetrations and last digits

Let a 0 a_0 be any even integer larger than 0 but not divisible by 10.

And define a n = a 0 a n 1 a_{n} = a_0^{a_{n-1}} for n = 1 , 2 , 3 , n=1,2,3,\ldots .

For example, if a 0 = 14 a_0 = 14 , then a 4 = 1 4 1 4 1 4 14 a_4 = 14^{14^{14^{14}}} .

Is it true that for any permissible initial value of a 0 a_0 , the last digit of a m a_m is 6 for all integers m 3 ? m\geq 3?
