If you look further down in the photos below to the pic with the 2 helos (submitted by me), that is the same airplane. 08/23/2011 @ 20:29 [ref: 48116] |

That airplane was attached to the USS Enterprise for the Med and World Cruise in 1964 and I am probably in it. #719 was the airplane used in the air shows we put on going around the world and I was the designated Aircrewman for those air shows. I took my 8mm movies of that cruise and had them put on DVD. If you do that I would love to buy a copy of that DVD from you. 08/23/2011 @ 20:19 [ref: 48110] |

Can you see the big letters on the tail or wing? They are a big clue as to the CAG that plane was attached to. 08/15/2011 @ 11:43 [ref: 46062] |
| Lisa , FL | I have recently found an 8mm film...in on of the sequences it shows the wing deployment and launch of this plane. How do I research to find out what carrier it served on? 07/29/2011 @ 18:06 [ref: 44005] |

Would like to build model for IPMS convention of this bird when she was intact, as opposed to how she looked at AMARC in 1976/77. 06/02/2010 @ 10:57 [ref: 26537] |
