Waiting to board our aircraft to fly back to the USS Forrestal on a spring morning, 1973. They were not quite ready for us to board, and we were all pretty tired. The sun was warm and perfect for a nap. You can see the mail was also going with us. Photo. PHC Barfield.
Actually NOT a posed photo. We had been really humping on this short tour of military bases and were really quite exhausted. The flight line was a bit of a drive from the waiting area, and when we arrived we decided to just lay on the warm tarmac and catch some zzzzzzz's! Again, great shipmates!
