TA-4 Skyhawk Take off out of North Island

What a great show! North Island is a special base to me because I have done several jobs there with the Planes of Fame, and Midway museum. I have seen planes take off and land there a bunch, but I could never imagine I would get to do it in a TA-4! Hope these videos give you a feel of actually being there yourself.

1969-got a ride in the back seat to my buddy’s wedding in Jacksonville on Friday and back to Virginia Beach “Oceana” on Sunday. The oxygen was sweet on the return flight. I was a plane captain.

There I was a navy officer at San Diego Naval air station North island. Great duty & fun at the beach.

MCAS El Toro 1974..Black Sheep Squadron had A-4's. A-6's and F-4's on the base too. I sure miss those days. Semper Fi!!
