This is a short clip of a fiery wreck on the deck of the USS Bataan in 1944. The F6F Pilot escapes the wreck but 3 men on the ship lost their lives due to the mishap. ***I do not own some of the pictures or some of the footage used in this video.

I decided to make a top 10 list of my personal favorite paint schemes used by US Navy Phantom Squadrons. This was a hard decision process. I didn't anticipate having such a difficult time deciding on the order! The guys who painted these jets deserve a lot of credit in creating some of the most noticeable and iconic paint jobs in military aviation. These squadrons all saw action in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam conflict. #aviation #navy #aviationlovers #phantom #unitedstatesnavy #aircraft #vietnam #gulfofthailand #southchinasea F-8 Crusader VF-84 Jolly Rogers VF-111 Sundowners VF-33 Tarsiers VF-92 Silver Kings VF-21 Freelancers VF-114 Aardvarks VF-142 Ghostriders VF-102 Diamondbacks VF-161 Chargers VF-96 Fighting Falcons ***I do not own some of the pictures or some of the footage used in this video.
