Marlin carrier launch

Recommended Posts

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.

In all weather, in a jet nearly the size of a 737, with no ejection seats.  Those guys had big ones.
