North American RA-5C Vigilante. “A three-quarter port aerial view of an RA-5C (BuNo 156608) Vigilante aircraft, Reconnaissance Attack Squadron 7 (RVAH-7) known as the “Peacemakers of the Fleet” and was assigned to the USS Ranger (CV-61) and Carrier Air Wing Two (CVW-2) from February 21 to September 22, 1979. This photograph may show the Vigilante’s last flight, since all Vigilante aircraft were officially retired in September 1979 and the RVAH-7 was officially decommissioned in October 1979. The exact date the photo was taken is unknown.”
