Bruce,

The B-66 and it variants were based on the Navy A3D Skywarriar. They
were built by Douglas Aircraft.

They entered service during the early to mid 1960s and saw service
through the Vietnam war.
Skywarrior, I knew I'd seen the outline of that airframe before. There
was one of them on the deck of the USS Intrepid in New York Harbor. Sign
in front of it said it was the largest a/c ever deployed from a carrier as
an active member of the flight compliment.

Bruce

That is a true statement, it was the largest and the cat shot on a 27
Charlie class carrier was a very exciting ride. The landings were even more
exciting!!!
