To my friend "The Viking".-

Scene from the movie "Thirteen-Days".

 

Dear Roberto, A/C 906 was a RF-8A Crusader (BuNo 146886) that belonged to VFP-62 "Fighting Photo" out of NAS Key West, Florida, in November 1962. It did several overflights of Cuba during the Crisis.

 

The Eyes on the wing break and the legend "Eyes of the Fleet" was a "Hollywood add-on" (these markings were carried by another Crusader Recon squadron VFP-63 whose name was "Eyes of the Fleet").

 

Regards.
