"Last Departure"

Leaving Guam for the last time. Lt. Griffith and AT3 Carlisle manning up. Year 86...89?

 "Last Departure"

Taxi out

"Last Departure"

Awaiting clearance

 

"BUNO 147658,  EKA-3B, Det ONE,  CVW-9, NG, CONSTELLATION (CVA-64) on her 1971-1972 Westpac Cruise.  During this cruise, Randy Cunningham and Willie Driscoll shot down 5-Migs, and we also got to see what Hanoi and Haiphong looked like, burning at night.  All from the cockpit of NG-616!
NG-616 was our best bird, at one point during that cruise, making 56 consecutive flights without a downing gripe.
"Carrier Suitability Trials"

1956 Aboard USS Forrestal CV-59. We think that the Navy decided to run with the A-3 Skywarrior. Looks like a worthy asset.

"Inbound"

USS Independence, 1962, Checkertail 606 is about to touch down. The LSO did good!

"Heavy 10"

USS Constellation CVA-64, 1964.

"A Boatload of Vikings"

USS Constellation CVA-64, 1964.

"Hey boss, why are we listing to starboard?"

Lots of excitement on theVAQ-33 flight line at Elemendorf AFB, Alaska. Anybody know the details?

"Preflight Prepartaion"

No time to hit the head before launch....Vq-2...circa 72-75???

"Do you guys take credit cards"

Looks like he is plugged into an A-6 (version ?).

"Waist Cat"

Ready on the catapult. VQ-2, circa early 70s in the Med?
