Description

A Douglas AD-6 Skyraider (BuNo 137597) Attack Squadron 65 (VA-65) "Fist of the Fleet" enroute from Naval Air Station (NAS) Alameda to NAS Miramar (both in California, USA), in March 1958. The plane was flown by Lt(jg) Jim Jones. VA-65 was assigned to Carrier Air Group 2 (CVG-2) aboard the aircraft carrier USS Midway (CVA-41) with the next deployment starting on 16 August 1958.
