Indeed! The A-6 took up a LOT of space on Lady Lex!

Gotta ask if anybody that reads this NG CQ'ed onboard Lex..I did, in
1973...still had a mirror...

Or anybody serve onboard Lex, when she was still a CVA??


Hummmm. young whippersnappers. T2J-1 with VT-5 on the USS Antietam,
CVS-36.
The only time I was ever on the Lex was for quals in an F8U-2 (1961) off
San Clemente Island.

F8U-2 (AKA F-8C)? To borrow from Moon Vance, what we have here is a
memorial service that never happened.
