Photo Comment

The barge carrying this EA-6B has just arrived at the quayside beside the USS Midway from the museum's restoration facility on NAS North Island. Thirty minutes or so later the Prowler was gently lifted on to the deck of the carrier to become the latest in an impressive line up of Naval aircraft on deck. Note the starboard side carries VAQ-132 USS America markings, whereas the port side carries those from (appropriately) VAQ-136 USS Midway.
