152665 is at the top of the photo. This was a flight of eight A-7As from VA-56 and VA-93 from the USS Midway (CV-41) participating in Exercise "Maulex" which was being conducted in South Korea. I took this slide from a VA-93 A-7A. On 13 January 1977 152665 slid off the flight deck of CV-41while being repositioned by a tug. Unfortunately the Plane Captain, who was in the cockpit riding the brakes, did not survive as the A-7 went into the water upside down.
