Many years ago, the nightly news had film of an F8U being catapulted off a carrier with its wings folded up. The pilot managed to get back to the carrier and safely land.
Hey!, I worked on those in the navy at NAS Lemoore. It's an A7-E, or B. We also had some two seaters for the VA-122 squardon. Old air planes, devloped during Vet Nam and used there also, a lot. Wonder where they are taking this one to?

Actually, that looks very much like an A-7. Not an F-8.
I hate it when they run out of fuel in midair.

Looks like Army Aviation needs to bail out the Air Force again!
What did they use for bait?
Helicopters beat frozen rotor craft any day.
So much for the Key West Agreement...
