This sequence of photos show Lt Jack Terhune ejecting from his combat damaged F8 over the Gulf of Tonkin in 1965. He was picked up by a helicopter from the USS Coral Sea. Many thanks to Les Jackson for supplying these great, original photos of the ejection sequence. Les served as a ship's company journalist on the 64-65 cruise. The photos were taken by LTJG Al Zink of VFP 63, flying alongside in an RF8 photo bird.
