An FJ-1 Fury of Fighter Squadron (VF) 5A flown by the squadron skipper, Commander Pete Aurand, traps on the flight deck of the carrier Boxer (CV 21) on March 17, 1948, sixty-six years ago today. This photograph was taken during carrier suitability tests for the fighter.

An F-8J Crusader of Fighter Squadron (VF) 211 pictured over the Gulf of Tonkin as it returns to the carrier Hancock (CVA 19) following a combat air patrol on March 19, 1971, forty-three years ago today. Note the AIM-9 Sidewinder missile on the fuselage mount. During the Vietnam War, VF-211 was known to return to their carrier with AIM-9s missing from their arsenal given the fact that the squadron was credited with shooting down seven enemy MiG-17 fighters in air-to-air combat.

El misil en la estación central?

Asi es, un misil antirradiacion Kh-28. Aerodinamicamente una especie de mini Kh-22......El Kh-28 era impulsado por un motor cohete de combustible, algo inusual en armas de este tamaño

1st Apr 2001 - In Memory of Wang Wei, the pilot of a J-8II fighter jet who died as a result of a United States Navy EP-3E ARIES II signals intelligence aircraft hitting the tailplane of Wang Wei's J-8II, causing it to spin out of control into the South China Sea. The EP-3E's front propeller was damaged when it knocked against the J-8II fighter and was forced to land on the island of Hainan with its 24 aircrew detained.
