EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the power and sophistication of the United States Navy's North American RA-5C Vigilante, serial number 156608, assigned to RVAH-13 (Royal Veterans of the Air Force - heavy aircraft reconnaissance squadron) in the early 1970s. The image, taken in 1972, shows the Vigilante, designated NK601, adorned with the distinctive markings of RVAH-13. The RA-5C Vigilante was a twin-engine, all-weather, long-range, maritime reconnaissance and strike aircraft, designed to provide real-time intelligence to naval forces. With its distinctive canard wings and delta configuration, the Vigilante was a formidable presence in the skies, capable of flying at supersonic speeds and operating from aircraft carriers. The aircraft's advanced sensors and weapons systems made it an invaluable asset in the defense of the United States and its allies during the Cold War. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the technological prowess and military might of the United States Navy during a pivotal period in aviation history.
