Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A camouflaged U.S. Navy Douglas A-4C Skyhawk lands aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVAN-65), circa in 1966. Enterprise, with assigned Attack Carrier Air Wing 9 (CVW-9) was deployed to Vietnam from 26 October 1965 to 21 June 1966.
Note: The U.S. Navy tested aircraft camouflage off Vietnam in 1965-1966. About half of the aircraft of CVW-11 aboard USS Kitty Hawk (CVA-63), deployed 19 October 1965 to 13 June 1966, and CVW-15 aboard USS Constellation (CVA-64), deployed 12 May to 3 December 1966, were camouflaged. As it is not known that aircraft of CVW-9 were camouflaged, this is most probably an A-4C of Attack Squadron 113 (VA-113), CVW-11, coming to refuel aboard Enterprise, as it is equipped with a centerline refueling pod.
