CV12Hornet

Our naval aviation never operates the F9F from the ARA Independencia, with regularity. (Colossu class with the original cat) Catapult did not have enough power.

Only one pilot do a landing on it

This is the only phot of the F9F on Independencia

I would have liked this image to be the normality.

I almost sure that the Karel, with her BS4, could operarted the F9F and Fj-4.

We almost launch and attack (falklands / malvinas  war) with A-4Q from the ARA 25 de Mayo former KD) : the load was set: 6 x 227 snake eyes and 2 x1300lts drops tanks.

Due to the lack of wind and the top speed of 20 knots of the aircraft carrier, the load of the aircraft began to decrease, until it reached a point where the attack was cancel.
