Keywords: vehicle aircraft 330-PSA-120-65 (USN 1111308): An airman aboard USS Midway (CVA-41) appears to be effortlessly towing a 32,000 pound Skyhawk jet tanker across deck. Actually, the airman is only guiding the “Tilly Bar” toward a catapult for launch, with the plane’s new jet engine doing the pushing. The Skyhawk is piloted by Lieutenant Junior Grade Tom Murray. His tanker provides refueling services to other Navy planes involved in the strikes against North Vietnam. Photographed by PH2 Karl Helberg, USN, May 26, 1965.
