Description
A sailor swabs the deck of the USS Coral Sea (CVA-43). An FJ2 soars just above the cameraman. A pilot sits in the cockpit of an FJ2 before taxing as its wings fold. FJ2 lands, assisted by arresting gear. Flight deck crew maneuvers FJ2 to the catapult to prepare for flight. Crew men (ordinance handlers and quality assurance crew) chat amongst themselves. A HUP-1 hovers in the background.
