Boneyard Safari
Preserving Aviation HIstory

One of the challenges with operating the Vigilante aboard an aircraft carrier was that its nose wheel was so far behind the pilot, trust in the deck crews was key! #ra5c #vigilante #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Here is a great example of the scale of Building 65 in comparison to the vertical stabilizer of the Vigilante. Also a good view of the Phased Array panels below the bridge. #ussenterprise #ra5c #boneyardsafari #navalsafari #aviationsafari
