In early April 1975 USS Hancock was temporarily being used as a helicopter carrier in preparation for the Saigon evacuation which occurred at the end of April. In order to keep Hancock's Carrier Air Wing 21 qualified for carrier operations, the USS Midway was used by the air wing for refresher training. This F-8J had just trapped aboard Midway and was taxiing over to the starboard forward catapult for launch. This F-8J was retired on 5 November 1975.

This slide was taken on the Carrier Air Wing Ramp at NAS Cubi Point. As it has no unit markings, it most likely is a replacement RA-5C for a deployed RVAH squadron. This a/c was delivered to the USN in May 1970 and was retired to MASDC on 2 August 1979.

In April 1975 the USS Hancock (CV-19) was temporarily being used as a helicopter carrier in preparation for the evacuation of U.S. personnel in Saigon. In order for Carrier Air Wing 21 pilots to maintain their carrier qualifications they were allotted deck time aboard the USS Midway for a couple of days. This VA-212 A-4 is conducting a touch and go (tailhook is up). It was later assigned to the Blue Angels. On 13 July 1983 it was involved in a midair collision with A-4F 155029 over Niagara Falls, NY Airport and the pilot perished.

In July of 1975 USS Hancock (CV-19) was laid up at Naval Station Subic Bay undergoing repair. Carrier Air Wing 21 (CVW-21) was allotted a couple of days deck time aboard USS Midway (CV-41), operating in the South China Sea, in order for the aircrews to maintain their carrier landing qualifications. A-4F 155034 was retired to AMARC 29 March 1994. It was later transferred to Argentina for use as a parts airframe. The cable extending up to the aft fuselage is attached to the holdback fitting which is located under the fuselage. The fitting will shear when the catapult fires.
