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...


Ayup. T-28C from VT-5 in March, '69. TS-2A from VT-28 in June, '69.

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


Not quite THAT old! ;-)
