This isn't history in the strictest sense so I'm putting it here. If it's the wrong forum, my apologies to the mods in advance.
A friend of mine is trying to find some info on her father who was a navy flyer in the late 60s and early 70s (Academy graduate class of 64). When she was young, she didn't pay any attention to her father's military career and he's gone now. She's trying to recapture what she missed. I don't know what squadron, or ship he served on. The only thing I do have is a copy of a pic with a limited view of one of the planes in the background (attached.)
In looking at the pic, the air intake, wings, tail, and time frame are consistent with either an F-8 or A-7. But the canopy looks too long to me. Any thoughts?
