Catapult launch of an RA-5C Vigilante, one of the largest aircraft to ever launch off of an aircraft carrier.
The North American A-5 Vigilante was a powerful, highly advanced carrier-based supersonic bomber designed for the United States Navy. Its service in the nuclear strike role to replace the A-3 Skywarrior was very short. As the RA-5C, it saw extensive service during the Vietnam War in the reconnaissance role. Prior to the unification of the Navy designation sequence with the Air Force sequence in 1962, it was designated the A3J Vigilante.

Witch one was BIGGER? Vigilante or A-3?
Always amazing to see the RF-5, or even more so the old A-3, get off the deck.
