Summary

Description

English: A U.S. Navy Douglas A4D-2 Skyhawk (BuNo 145006) of Attack Squadron 83 (VA-83) "Rampagers" in flight. VA-83 was assigned to Carrier Air Group 8 (CVG-8) aboard the aircraft carrier carrier USS Forrestal (CVA-59) for a deployment to the Mediterranean Sea from 28 January to 31 August 1960.
Note: The date given "26 Jun 1987" has to be incorrect, as both types of aircraft were then long out of the U.S. Navy inventory. Also, the A4D-2 145006 crashed 17 km (10 mi) astern of the USS Forrestal on 16 November 1962 while in service with VA-81. The pilot was killed in this accident.
