A U.S. Navy Grumman F9F-5 <i>Panther</i> (BuNo 126066) in flight in front of a snow capped volcano. The aircraft is the personal aircraft of the Commander, Carrier Air Group 2. The photo was probably taken in 1953-54 when fighter squadrons VF-63 "Fighting Redcocks" and VF-64 "Free Lancers" flying F9F-5s were assigned to CVG-2 for a deployment to the Western Pacific aboard the aircraft carrier USS <i>Yorktown</i> (CVA-10).
