This B&W picture was taken while our squadron VA-151 was aboard the USS Lexington in 1956. Our squadron flew the Cutlass F7U-3 aircraft as pictured in this flyby of Mt. Fuji.

Unfortunately, we lost LTJG C.G Larsen on one of his several attempts at landing the aircraft. One of three landing gears was broken off and the aircraft was careening down the hanger deck, but he was able to ditch it off the port side of the ship.

The rescue helicopter did not deploy a rescuer for unknown reasons to me.

There were seventeen layers used to convert this photograph into a 3D. More than I usually use to convert most photos.

I did some editing to the Mt. Fuji shot. The high lights were more burned out and the dark part of Mt. Fuji was stark black. I attempted to give the clouds some more definition by using the curves adjustment and used the dodge tool to gain some detail in the black area of Mt. Fuji.
