VP-45 brought their superb ability to downlink video (and great attitude towards contributing to Air Wing ISR picture), which we watched on ROVER in the field.

Why does this P-3 look so naked? Do they not paint them up in squadron colors?

VF-21 F-4J approaching NAS Miramar from the southeast, 1973.
R.O....your pics from 1973 look amazing.... If I didn't know any better, I would have guessed they were digital. My Dad showed up at VF-121 in Sandog at the end of 1973, and the quality of his phantom pics look like dog squeeze compared to yours. But, I still loved looking at them while growing up.

The very top of this one is all you need to make a great pic. Gotta love Grumman Iron.
Then here's another one of the indispensable Prowler...I think that's Brett waving...
