Sadly, Cdr. Walter "Smokey" Stovall, Jim Flatley's co-pilot, passed away
from leukemia in Bethesda Naval Hospital in 1972. An even stranger event was the landing aboard and immediate deck launch from USS Ranger of a U-2 in the mid 1960's. Anyone have the details on that? It was a secret operation and the majority of the crew were not allowed above flight deck level during the op. "W. D. Allen Sr." wrote in message ... Does anyone know anything about the C-130 that made arrested landings and launches from a Navy aircraft carrier back in the 1960s? WDA end
