Operating off Okinawa, a VA-56 A-7A is about to trap aboard USS Midway. Personnel across the deck are Landing Signal Officers (LSO) who monitor approaches and assist pilots with the safe recovery of their aircraft. The LSOs are pilots from the squadrons aboard the ship and are specially trained for this duty. This photo is copyright © Bob Thomas, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
