Did not read the book. But Sure shot a few off CAT 2 CVA-62 USS Independence in the early 70's And had the honor of shooting one of the prototype EA-6B's

Flying outhouse?

Seriously, these are all good candidates. I don't collect jets, generally, but might be temped by the A-1. Used to watch those things take off and land on the carriers off Vietnam (I was on an ammunition ship, and we supplied them with aerial weapons and water--for the catapults). We also watched the carriers land F-4s during the unreps (the landings took place a few hundred feet from our fully loaded transport). The sound of those heavy fighters hitting the deck was unbelievable. Don't know how those planes, and their landing gear, could take the punishment.

Read the book and saw the movie. Great flick! I love the part when they sang "Goin' Downtown" tune by Petula Clark - memorable hit at the time!

My dad was on the Independence during the 70's... You may have shot him off in an S-2 or S-3..

Without a doubt I would order versions of each one of these planes were HM to make them. C'mon HM - I have my credit card in hand waiting to place my order!

I would definitely buy an Intruder.
