Oldbaldguy Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Probably took that Fish 15 minutes to fly the length of the Bonnie Dick. Very cool airplane, however. Noted with interest the number and variety of aircraft on deck, including one Crusader, a single A-3 from the days before they were tankers, etc, and three Demons. Makes you wonder what's hiding in the hangar deck. Can't imagine what it must have been like to land a Whale on a boat that size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Rademaker Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 A few A-4’s are parked on the port side also. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all weather, in a jet nearly the size of a 737, with no ejection seats. Those guys had big ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
