I have a lot of Super8 movies of it during its sea trials on the Enterprise in the early '60s. Bob, Back in 1964 I was assigned to VAH-10 flying as a Bombardier/Navigator in A-3Bs. (See attached picture) At the time the East Coast Heavy Attack Squadrons were being transitioned to A-5s. The RF-8 was our Photo Reconnaissance aircraft. In 1969 I had transitioned to A-6A Intruders and was aboard the USS Ranger. By then all the A-5s had been converted to RA-5Cs and all the RF-8s were gone. Wayne http://www.soaridaho.com/ |
