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.
