Here is a photo of the El Centro RF-4B BuNo 151979 earlier in its career. The photo was taken on USS Midway on 25 Jan 1984 in the Indian Ocean. It suffered a hydraulic failure, stopping the nose gear from extending, thus causing the use of the onboard crash barrier.

Thanks to Stuart Forth for sending us this photo.
