In April 1975 the USS Hancock (CV-19) was temporarily being used as a helicopter carrier in preparation for the evacuation of U.S. personnel in Saigon. In order for Carrier Air Wing 21 pilots to maintain their carrier qualifications they were allotted deck time aboard the USS Midway for a couple of days. This VA-212 A-4 is conducting a touch and go (tailhook is up). It was later assigned to the Blue Angels. On 13 July 1983 it was involved in a midair collision with A-4F 155029 over Niagara Falls, NY Airport and the pilot perished.

In July of 1975 USS Hancock (CV-19) was laid up at Naval Station Subic Bay undergoing repair. Carrier Air Wing 21 (CVW-21) was allotted a couple of days deck time aboard USS Midway (CV-41), operating in the South China Sea, in order for the aircrews to maintain their carrier landing qualifications. A-4F 155034 was retired to AMARC 29 March 1994. It was later transferred to Argentina for use as a parts airframe. The cable extending up to the aft fuselage is attached to the holdback fitting which is located under the fuselage. The fitting will shear when the catapult fires.

This A-7A was lost on 6 October 1975 off Okinawa due to engine failure. The pilot had a successful ejection and was rescued by helicopter from the ship. In July 1975 the USS Hancock (CV-19) was undergoing repair at Naval Station Subic Bay. Carrier Air Wing 21 was assigned to the Hancock, and in order to maintain their carrier qualifications CVW-21 used Midway's flight deck for a couple of days. The A-4F Bureau Number 155022 "Lady Jessie" of VA-164 was the last A-4 to carry that name as the squadron was disestablished in late 1975.

A VA-93 A-7A over the South China Sea. I took this slide from another VA-93 A-7A. Note the speed brake under the fuselage is not completely flush, which is not normal. VA-93 was conducting operations from USS Midway (CV-41) during this period. 153140 was assigned to VA-93 from 1973 through 24 April 1977. Retired to MASDC on 27 May 1977. In 1980 it as assigned to the Portuguese A-7P program as a parts airframe.
