Cal Megard - Vietnam War
1st deployment with VF-32 Swordsmen on CVA67 John F Kennedy the last conventional powered A/C carrier. I worked as an Airframes Flight Deck Trouble Shooter with the Line Crew whose jobs were to assist pilots harness up as well as run through all flight control systems w/ said flight crews prior to launch and help secure planes upon recovery. My job was to confirm all flight control systems were up and within those said parameters.
(Check the oil and kick the tires so to speak) last photo my position was port side aft of afterburner with my thumb up for launch.
