Scooter Launch

Bit more action aboard USS Coral Sea CVA-43 in the South China Sea in 1965. Here the Catapult Officer had just signaled the launch of an A-4 Skyhawk on Cat 1, note the bridle attached to the aircraft and the release of the hold back cables. #cva43 #usscoralsea #a4 #a4scooter #flynavy #catapult #aviationsafari #aviationpreservation #boneyardsafari
