Description

English: Two U.S. Navy Douglas A-4F Skyhawk of Attack Squadron 212 (VA-212) "Rampant Raiders" refuel two Vought RF-8G Crusader (BuNo 155607, 146858) of Photo Reconnaissance Squadron 63 (VFP-63) Det.1 "Eyes of the Fleet". All aircraft were part of Attack Carrier Air Wing 21 (CVW-21) aboard the carrier USS Hancock (CVA-19) between 1970 and 1975.
Note: the date given "16 Mar 1985" has to be incorrect as CVW-21 was disestablished in 1975. According to the tactical numbers on the aircraft, this photo was probably taken in 1973-74.

Date

circa 1974
