Description: "Argonauts" aboard CVA-64 with CVW-9. VA-147 never utilized Skyhawks, but their sister squadron VA-146 was a former Skyhawk unit.
"I took those photos on the 71/72 Connie cruise. First served with VA-192/CAG-19, then went to PG School. In January, 1971 on to Vigi's at Albany, GA. After Carquals I went right out to Yankee Station to be Operations officer in RVAH-11 with CAG-9 for my last combat cruise."
