F-4N 150452 in 1976 U.S. Bicentennial paint scheme. Two VF-151 F-4N a/c are refueling from a VA-93 A-7A (BuNo. 153228) in tanker configuration. The F-4N tailhooks are extended indicating they are holding over USS Midway (CV-41) awaiting their recovery time. This was the high tanker (10,000') which provided extra fuel to the airborne F-4 a/c prior to their descent and landing aboard the aircraft carrier. I took this slide from another VA-93 A-7A.
