VP-45 brought their superb ability to downlink video (and great attitude towards contributing to Air Wing ISR picture), which we watched on ROVER in the field.
Why does this P-3 look so naked? Do they not paint them up in squadron colors?

Here are some pictures a friend of mine in the Netherlands took and sent to me. From a recent air show he attended.

VF-21 F-4J approaching NAS Miramar from the southeast, 1973.
Just look at the dirt and grease! I can almost smell the JP-5
This is really a good photo!Thanks,

R.O....your pics from 1973 look amazing.... If I didn't know any better, I would have guessed they were digital. My Dad showed up at VF-121 in Sandog at the end of 1973, and the quality of his phantom pics look like dog squeeze compared to yours. But, I still loved looking at them while growing up.
I always shot Kodachrome(R) except for some medium format stuff (120/220) which I shot in either Kodacolor (print film) or Ektachrome. I also had a good mentor in Bob Lawson. For those not in the loop, Bob was the first editor of The Hook magazine when it became a magazine in 1977.
Bob was a senior chief Photographer's Mate, and the Photo Lab Chief at North Island. We crossed paths (kind of a long story... won't bore you...) and he gave me hints on shooting air-to-air. Bob kept shooting after he retired... one year when I was flying for the Reserves and getting about 120 hours a year, Bob had more flight time in high-performance Navy jets that year than I did.
^Simple yes, but they have tons of hours on each airframe. We are rebuilding the wings here, so that they may continue their missions.

Great callsign
The very top of this one is all you need to make a great pic. Gotta love Grumman Iron.
Then here's another one of the indispensable Prowler...I think that's Brett waving...
