Summary[edit]

Description A U.S. Navy Douglas AD-6 Skyraider (BuNo 134538) from Attack Squadron VA-105 Mad Dogs refueling a North American FJ-3M Fury (BuNo 139232) of Fighter Squadron VF-62 Boomerangs. Both squadrons were assigned to Air Task Group 201 (ATG-201) aboard the aircraft carrier USS Essex (CVA-9) for a deployment to the Mediterranean Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Western Pacific from 2 February to 17 November 1958.
Note the AIM-9B Sidewinder missile on the Fury and the extended landing gear, to be able to fly as slow as the Skyraider. The propeller of the refueling pack is also clearly visible.
