still cleaning the office out of 20+ years of boxed photos.
I think I am through most of the cars, so here are the ships and planes !!



The USS Independence (CV62) two F14's to the left and probably a CH46 helicopter and a fixed wing P3 to the right.

close-up of the 2 F14's below



I was assigned to intel photography in the Med prior to the Beirut, Lebanon cease-fire being broken in Feb 84, this was shot with a manual Canon F1 and 1000 spd film after sunset from a moving ship.

Chris,

I see single tails on these planes.
F-14's or possibly A-6 Intruders?

Jet on the left, climbing, is an A-6 Intruder or its larger brother, an EA-6 Prowler. Jet on the right, low, looks like an S-3 Viking anti-sub jet.

Yes, and in an unusual configuration: Wings in the full
swept position and the tail hook deployed in the down
position.
