Slide taken from the flight deck of USS Midway. This was the Midlink Exercise Airshow staged for visiting dignitaries of the participating countries, including the Shah of Iran. Here we have the unusual combo of an E-2B from VAW-115 leading EA-6A 156990 of VMAQ-2. VMAQ-2 provided a detachment of four EA-6A a/c that were assigned to CVW-5.
