Flight Deck Operations Aboard USS Ticonderoga with E-1 Tracer and A-4 Skyhawk, Vietnam Era
An A-4 Skyhawk taxis past a folded-wing E-1 Tracer early-warning aircraft on the flight deck of USS Ticonderoga. The Tracer's distinctive radar dome allowed it to extend the carrier's surveillance range far beyond the horizon, working alongside strike aircraft like the Skyhawk during Vietnam War operations.
