The jet pictures were taken back in the day on the USS FDR CVA 42 and the P3s were taken probably in the 80s.

Very cool. Nice to be right where the action is, with a camera.

Very enjoyable.
I was a ship's company AO aboard USS Forrestal (CVA-59) 1967-69.

That last P3 looks like it could be on final to Moffett NAS. The hills look familiar.

The 4th picture was the squadron I was in, VA 72. The older I get the better the sea duty was. This past Sunday I talked to my Division Officer after almost 50 years. Time does fly and nostalgia never fades.

Yeah. The first ones look like F4B's. Of course, if they had USMC on the fuselage they would be more impressive.
