Something for everybody (at least the NavAir fans) in this video. :) Some of the scenes date to well before 1970 (F3H Demon tanking, Spads aboard ship) but still fun to watch.

Vigilantes were, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful aircraft. They may have been a maintenance nightmare, but they were impressive!

Yes, that looked like a FJ-3. We had FJ-4B's (AF-1E's) in the reserve unit at NAS Glenview until around 1965-66. The FJ is one of those Navy fighters from the 1950's that everybody tends to overlook.
