This A-7A is loaded out with two live 2000 lb. Mk.84 bombs (one under each wing). VA-93 and VA-56, both aboard USS Midway, were the last two fleet A-7A squadrons (the Navy Reserve still had A-7As for a little while longer). On April 24th, three days after I took this slide, both squadrons flew off all the A-7As to NAS Cubi Point for return to the U.S. by ship. 153228 arrived at MASDC on 27 May 1977. It was later converted to an A-7P for the Portuguese AF with s/n 5517 (later 15517). Its flying days finally ended in 1994 and it was scrapped.

The F-4 Phantom II required an extendable nose gear to increase the angle of attack on the wing. This resulted in a lower takeoff speed making it compatible with the catapults in use on USN aircraft carriers. This F-4N is loaded out with two live AIM-9 Sidewinder air to air missiles.

Each squadron aboard USS Midway had an aircraft painted in recognition of the 1976 U.S. Bicentennial. Here is the VF-151 design. This a/c has just been relocated to this spot on the flight deck. The tug is still hooked up, the plane captain is in the cockpit, and a flight deck director (yellow shirt) is signaling the plane captain to hold the brakes. Next the chocks will be put in, the a/c secured with no less than 6 tie down chains, and the tug unhooked. If the sea state is causing a large amount of deck movement up to 18 chains may be required.

VMCJ-1 RF-4B tensioned in the port bow catapult aboard USS Midway. This is a good view of how the bridle is attached to the a/c. It is one continuous cable with a loop on each end that attaches to an aft facing hook inside each wing. At the end of the catapult shot, as the RF-4B leaves the deck, the bridle slips out of the hooks. The bridle is reusable as it is captured before going overboard. All current USN carrier aircraft have a launch bar attached to the nose gear that has replaced the old bridle hookup.

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.

VAW-115 E-2B about to trap aboard USS Midway. The E-2 has a wide wingspan, so being on centerline at touchdown is critical. Across the deck are the Landing Signal Officers (LSO) who assist the pilots in making a good approach. The LSOs are squadron pilots aboard the ship and specially trained for this duty.

The USS Midway was homeported at Yokosuka Naval Base, Japan. Normal operations in the mid 1970s were conducted all over the western Pacific including the Sea of Japan, the South China Sea, as well as cruises into the Indian Ocean. Here a KA-6D is tensioned on the starboard bow catapult. CV-41 had the highest operations tempo of any Pacific Fleet carrier, and the air wing a/c had a well used look to them.
