806 Sqn Seahawk FGA.6 after taking the wire on HMS Albion at sea in 1960 with the port undercarriage leg retracted. WV806 was sold as scrap from Belfast in February 1968. I have seen this incident logged elsewhere as 1st September 1959 but this does not tally with 806's embarkment on HMS Albion which was from February to December 1960. Location is probable but not confirmed. Photographer not known. Photo obtained from former Fleet Air Arm pilot in 1971.

806 Sqn Seahawk FGA.6 taking the wire on HMS Albion at sea in 1960. The port undercarriage leg has failed to lower. The result of this can be seen in the second photograph I have uploaded. WV806 was sold as scrap from Belfast in February 1968. I have seen this incident logged elsewhere as 1st September 1959 but this does not tally with 806's embarkment on HMS Albion which was from February to December 1960.

This A-7A is loaded out with six live 1000 lb. Mk.83 bombs (three under each wing). This was a good load configuration for the A-7, as it was lower drag than having them mounted on multiple ejector racks (MERs). 152669 arrived at MASDC on 26 May 1977. It was used as a parts airframe for the Portuguese A-7P program. After that it was evidently sold surplus, and at last report was at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation in Sevierville, TN. awaiting restoration.

Loaded out with four live 500 lb. Mk.82 bombs (two under each wing). A well worn but reliable A-7A, 153152 was with VA-93 from 1973 through 24 April 1977. It arrived at MASDC on 1 June 1977, and was given a new life when it was converted to an A-7P for the Portuguese Air Force. It was lost in a mishap on 4 December 1989 near Vila Vocosa, Portugal.

This A-7A is loaded out with two live 2000 lb. Mk.84 bombs (one under each wing). VA-93 and VA-56, both aboard USS Midway, were the last two fleet A-7A squadrons (the Navy Reserve still had A-7As for a little while longer). On April 24th, three days after I took this slide, both squadrons flew off all the A-7As to NAS Cubi Point for return to the U.S. by ship. 153228 arrived at MASDC on 27 May 1977. It was later converted to an A-7P for the Portuguese AF with s/n 5517 (later 15517). Its flying days finally ended in 1994 and it was scrapped.

The F-4 Phantom II required an extendable nose gear to increase the angle of attack on the wing. This resulted in a lower takeoff speed making it compatible with the catapults in use on USN aircraft carriers. This F-4N is loaded out with two live AIM-9 Sidewinder air to air missiles.

The F-4 Phantom II required an extendable nose gear to increase the angle of attack on the wing. This resulted in a lower takeoff speed making it compatible with the catapults in use on USN aircraft carriers. This F-4N is loaded out with two live AIM-9 Sidewinder air to air missiles.

Each squadron aboard USS Midway had an aircraft painted in recognition of the 1976 U.S. Bicentennial. Here is the VF-151 design. This a/c has just been relocated to this spot on the flight deck. The tug is still hooked up, the plane captain is in the cockpit, and a flight deck director (yellow shirt) is signaling the plane captain to hold the brakes. Next the chocks will be put in, the a/c secured with no less than 6 tie down chains, and the tug unhooked. If the sea state is causing a large amount of deck movement up to 18 chains may be required.
