Description: 3 of 4 photos of NP-231, BuNo.150003, flown by VA-212 off the U.S.S Bon Homme Richard during the 1967 WestPac Cruise.
Fuel venting from the right wing has stopped. The bird is running on the fuselage tank and best be getting back to the nest very soon.
The Driver has dropped his gear and tailhook, and it looks possible that the bird might make it home.
