Definitely real!That happened on the USS Midway ;-)More pics and a couple of videos on the USS Midway website:http://www.midwaysailor.com/midwayva25bomb/I love that story!
Looks more like Viet Nam era.....Skyraiders were used extensively in /Nam....
Very Real...my father-in-law, was one of the Ordies that did it.
Sandies were badass angels. Flew cover for medevacs and ground ops.That airplane can take off with its own weight in armament.
Real. The A1D Skyraider, aka "Spad", would carry its own weight in ordnance.
@ Parrothead Jeff - There was also a recent article in Flight Journal regarding the toilet bombing (Saniflush?) :) Yes, you could haul and drop about anything from a Spad.
