Lockheed U-2 Carrier OPS Declassified (U-2 Arrest JPG from: http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/history/u2/carrier_02.jpg)
"Uploaded on Dec 6, 2009
In early 1964 Bob Schumacher conducted a number of trial landings and take-offs from the USS Ranger and a number of other CIA pilots, including Jim Barnes, became carrier qualified. The target for the U-2G was the French nuclear test site, situated at Mururoa Atoll in the middle of the South Pacific, well out of the range of a land-based U-2. Consequently, in May 64 a U-2G operating from the USS Ranger photographed Mururoa Atoll and until 1968 three of the CIAs fleet of U-2s and a number of pilots were always carrier capable, although few actual sorties were ever flown."

Just how I remember NGU and NTU areas, always overcast. Nice IAP into NPA and finish with a proper arrival out of the break!

Wow, really cool find on youtube. If you ever wanted to ride along in an A-6E for some night traps, and also hear all the audio this is it.
"Cockpit cam in A-6E Intruder during night carrier recovery. First attempt is waved off for fouled deck. Can hear all typical radio calls of a night recovery at sea. This is raw and unedited so feel free to skip ahead. For the salty fleet guys half the fun is listening to the comms from Strike, Marshall and Paddles.. Note the Paddles calls to the guy on the ball ahead of us."
