This KA-6D is the high tanker and is holding above the USS Midway (CV-41) awaiting some "customers" who need fuel. I took this slide from a VA-93 A-7A "Corsair II" that was in tanker configuration. There were two tankers airborne overhead the ship for every launch and recovery, normally one KA-6D and one A-7. The KA-6D refueling hose was installed permanently under the rear fuselage as seen in the photo. The A-7 was easily configured into a tanker by temporarily mounting a D-704 air refueling store with hose under the left wing, and two fuel tanks under the right wing.

The USS Midway was homeported at Yokosuka Naval Base, Japan. Normal operations in the mid 1970s were conducted all over the western Pacific including the Sea of Japan, the South China Sea, as well as cruises into the Indian Ocean. Here a KA-6D is tensioned on the starboard bow catapult. CV-41 had the highest operations tempo of any Pacific Fleet carrier, and the air wing a/c had a well used look to them.

This VF-1 F-14A is painted in the "Ferris" deceptive paint scheme that was tested in 1976 - 1977. Developed by the noted aviation artist Kieth Ferris, it ultimately wasn't adapted by the USN. VF-1 was assigned to CVW-14 aboard USS Enterprise when the slide was taken at NAS Cubi Point.

Taken on the carrier ramp side of NAS Cubi Point. The carrier ramp consisted of a hangar surrounded by a large a/c parking area. This area was for use by aircraft carrier air wings while the carrier was in port. The air wing aircraft (normally not all) would be flown off before the carrier reached port. This allowed for flying to take place during the in port period. CVW-14 was assigned to the USS Enterprise when the slide was taken.

On 21 October 1967 at the NAS New Orleans Airshow this F-11A had an engine flameout just after taking off. It settled back onto the runway and continued off into a field beyond the end of the runway. The pilot was unhurt. The a/c was deemed unrepairable and remained at the base. It was then restored for display and mounted at the entrance to the base. It has since been replaced by a F/A-18 Hornet and is now on display at the airport in Reserve, LA.

Although this F-9J was stricken from active service on 22 July 1970, it was still in use. It and several other retired a/c were used regularly for aircraft carrier flight deck towing and parking practice, crane hoist practice (hoisting from pier to flight deck), and other training for new flight deck personnel. In 1977 there were several active carriers homeported at NAS Alameda.

This a/c was the first swept wing jet constructed for the US Navy. There were two XF9F-6 Cougars built, with this being the first, and it made its first flight on 20 September 1951. It is now located at the National Air & Space Museum Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA. Grumman F9F-2 Panther 123050 can be seen parked next to it.
