Summary
[edit]
| Description | Retirement of the last U.S. Navy McDonnell F-3B Demon (BuNo 145295) in 1964. This aircraft had been assigned to fighter squadron VF-161 "Chargers", Attack Carrier Air Wing 16 (CVW-16), aboard the aircraft carrier USS Oriskany (CVA-34) on a deployment to the Western Pacific from 1 August 1963 to 10 March 1964. The last two Demons were "piped over the side" in a colourful ceremony at the U. S. Naval Air Station, Miramar, California (USA), which at the same time, welcomed aboard the first F-4B Phantom II to be delivered to the squadron. CDR W.J. Welty, Commanding Officer of Fighter Squadron 161, and LCDR L.D. Baldridge, squadron Executive Officer, taxied the last two F3Hs past the assembled men of the squadron, who rendered honours to the Demons as they prepared for their last flight. |
