Recently Google started the hosting LIFE magazine photo archives.
and while researching other topics, found these photos. by the date and the
subjects it appears that its the first landing trials of the Navys new jet
on the USS Boxer CV-21 in March 1948. along with photos of the shore
station activity . and a little fighter pilot humor to go along with it..
there are over 200 photos .. Enjoy...
North American FJ-1 Fury BuNo 120351
Everybodys got to have sense of humor once in a while.
