USS Lexington AVT-16

As we celebrate #navycarriercentennial we look back to USS Lexington AVT-16 (CV-16) in the 1980’s when she served as a training carrier. Here she is launching a TA-4J, in the foreground you can see the hold back lines on the deck and up forward the bridle can be seen still attached to the catapult. #ta4j #usslexington #navalaviation #a4skyhawk #flynavy #aviationsafari #aviationpreservation #boneyardsafari
