"Never have so many trees given up so much for so many." But, I recognize that it was "state of the art" for the day. I joined that very squadron 3 months later...

U.S. Marine Corps test pilot Capt. Justin Carlson executes a successful weapons separation test from F-35C Lightning II aircraft CF-2 Nov. 18. Carlson ejected the 2,000-pound GBU-31 from CF-2 at an altitude of 10,000 feet during a 30-degree dive and at a speed of 0.92 Mach. (Photo courtesy of Lockheed Martin)
Big deal,
I once ejected a 45# DICASS at 200 feet, doing 0.29 Mach...
Beat that!

Even the JSF can't do that…so you win!
You know, I'm assuming these are original photos…got any versions of the "re-do attempts" you can post? Would love to see the "tribute photos".
Yea those were the original pics. I'll see if I can get clearance to post the re-do's but based on past requests that may get shot down. Poor boy he's ugly like his daddy not purity like his grandfather.......
Got it…whatever you can get cleared!

F-4B Phantom II aircraft of Fighter Squadron (VF) 103 pictured secured on the deck of the aircraft carrier Saratoga (CVA 60) as she plows through heavy seas in the Atlantic Ocean on December 2, 1967, forty-six years ago today.
On a personal note, I was three years old when this picture was taken. 23 years later, I was floating around the Red Sea on board the Saratoga during Operation Desert Shield.
Looks like the trainers were all silver at that time. When I started primary some 7 years later, they had just replaced the SNJ with the T-34/T-28, and they were all painted yellow.
