State of the Art

Today we present a quickie... tis another shot of Skyhawks, and personnel, of VMA-121, the 'Green Knights', presumably taken at MCAS El Toro, California. The exact time-frame is unknown, but the jets look to be fairly new A4D-2s, so we're guessing it's sometime in 1958 or 1959.

Also, we don't know exactly what's supposed to be going on here... four ground-bound 'Green Knights' are shown, two of whom are messing around with a Zenith 'Trans-Oceanic' shortwave radio. (Cutting-edge electronics for the day!) Maybe they're tuning in to a radio comedy, or maybe pulling in some rockin' sounds from a Californian DJ... who knows for sure...
