Thanks! I need to get back to drawing some more!
Yeah getting aboard the boat was tough for allot of the second gen fighters........mostly due to poor engine performance........... but in all honesty.........landing any aircraft on a moving deck takes nerves of steel then and now. And that's in the daylight......... they do this at all hours in all weather...... I think they are very unappreciated for this and I admire the heck out of each and every one of them!
Growing up with my Dad in the NAVY and him serving aboard carriers during this time, I remember watching these birds fly all the time.......The Crusader could really move.
