And now that airplane sits in the boneyard...its crew either transitioned to other airframes or released from the service.
That was a HELLUVA fighter!

I wonder if the photographer is related to Ensign George Gay, who had a front row seat at the battle of Midway.

Meet Sir Authority, Sir Power, Sir Fear-Me Sir Deactivated. The next time our pilots see these in the air it'll be when they shoot down the 20 old ones that Iran currently has in service.

Did not an Ensign John Gay fly a torpedo plane in the Battle of Midway?

Looks like the only thing that’s still sub-sonic is the cover on his tail light...
Great shot!
